When you experience a groinal sensation, gently place a finger on the lower back of your head, where your skull meets your spine. Apply light pressure and try to redirect your thoughts to that area of your brain. Hold for few minutes. Let me know if this helps alleviate the sensation.

@hanysm@gmail.com For me its not so much the groinal itself its the ocd statements telling me i did something bad snd the guilt which i understand are symptoms. I was laying in bed snd my daughter came to tell me good morning. I smiled snd said good morning than i rolled over and like stretched my legs but that stretching pressed my feet together snd down and it caused groinals so ocd said i was doing it to arouse myself. But i was just rolling over and stretching the ocd thought and the guilt is what gets me to ruminate and seek reassurance. But its not like i intentionally did that or had the thought that inwas going tīl arouse myself i just rolled over stretched than the thought and guilt came. But ocd says whyd i stretch like that it caused groinals i pressed my legs and feet together. But again i know its just ocd thoughts trying ti make me feel guilt

@Anonynmous19 Totally understand your feelings of shame and frustration, but remember, these responses are not under your direct control. Your brain governs your thoughts, emotions, and bodily reactions. If it signals arousal, your body naturally responds. This is beyond your conscious control, so there's no need for guilt. The true essence of who you are remains unchanged. You are defined by how you react to these thoughts and physical responses by rejection. Trust that it will improve over time.

@hanysm@gmail.com Thanks brother its so weird all i did was roll over stretch but i felt my legs snd feet squeeze down together and thats when the guilt came it said i did it intentionally to arouse myself. How do i challenge the thought? I believe the thiught came in as i stretched i wasnt intentionally trying to do anything wrong. The thoughts usually come as im doing something or after. But of course ocd makes us doubt and feel guilt. Like as i stretched why was i stretching its causing groinals and i just saw my child when i said hello

You missed the link. Here are two key points: 1. It wasn't your rolling action that caused the arousal; it was your brain. 2. To stop these thoughts, you need to stop trying to stop them. When you try to push them away, you signal to your brain that they're important, so it keeps bringing them back. When such thoughts arise, just acknowledge them with a casual 'oh, really, whatever,' and continue with what you were doing. It's just a trick your mind is playing Go read the link please

@hanysm@gmail.com Thank you i read it snd that mkes sense. The squeezing during stretchingis a natural occurence snd of course ocd brain will trick me. Its not my underlying self. It tries to question my intentions during any action but thats the brain not me. Its not the rolling or legs and feet squeezing its the brain telling me xyz to trick me. If i understand is that correct? Because after s few seconds of the squeezing you know when you stretch your legs snd they stick together i moved on and even said its ocd.

@hanysm@gmail.com Since ocd already convinced me from this thought occurrence with guilt can i apply the same methods above to reverse the guilt? I know ive had this before Guilt is a symptom. Sometime guilt hits from the beginning other times it doesnt or isnt as bad ninunderstand guilt is a symtpom of ocd to get ne to react and ruminate and since my initial response was giving into the guilt and worrying how do i reverse it? Just say whatever? I just had a breakdown 🥲 im meeting with a therapist but i only meet once a week

@Anonynmous19 If you refrain from reacting and avoid compulsions, you deprive OCD of its nourishment, allowing the thoughts—and the accompanying guilt—to gradually diminish.

Pocd groinals
A compulsion i do is if i get a groinal or anticipate it i take a step. Adjust my legs and feet to avoid the groinals. I was carrying my daughter and worry about groinals which sucks. I had groinals when I picked her up but discarded it didnt give it attention. Then when i put her down i had intrusive thoughts about groinals worrying if i get it. I took a step to my right and just sat with the groinals and the thoughts. I do t remember if i took a second step or not but ocd hyper-focused in the groinal sensations and i feel guilty its telling me i took tbe step to get groinals and i sat with it to arouse myself but i think i took the step as a compulsion and my ocd hyperfocused on the ocd and was aware of it and just let it be but ocd is saying i acted on the thoughts and aroused myself i know thats not true.

Sexual ocd
I was watching a porn videi a whike back and intent was to look at the woman. I clicked on the video and tbe camera was up close so i couldnt distinguish who as the man and woman up close because it wasnt their faces but their butt. Once the camera adjusted and i realized it was the mans butt not the womans i felt sick to my stomach and anxios. It happened a long time ago so i dont recall every detail but i rememwbr the anxiety, stress, guilt and anger i felt. Im sure j was upset and changed the video. Ocd tries rk make me doubt this and sats im gay because of this and then tries to attack me with not only hocd but rocd saying i was unfaithful for eatching porn and worse tbat i was watchibg n doing tge deed to the guys butt. I thought it was the womans n when i realized it wasnt i was anxious and mad. It happened long sgo i dont recall the details sk ocd is making me diubt. Im not gay and i know my intention was ti see the woman and fantasize of my wife. Then ocd says i lije thr guys beard so it neans i was arousing over him. Or thoughts that he’s handsome so it means i was arousing over him. U cant control my thoughts but i kniw im not gay. And my intentions were to see and arouse over the woman and fantasize over my wife. I know ocd wants me tk diubt the memory but i know who i am and i dont arouse over men. Im pretty sure when i realized jt was the man butt not the woman i was angrg embarrased felt anxiety and changed the video to one where it was the womans body part and that i can better distinguish between the man and female so it wkukdnt hallen again because i dont want to arouse over a mans butt only a womans. I was driving and had the memory kf this and then the ocd made me doubt and question the memory and said im gay and unfaithful ti my wife and all the intrusive thoughts. I think i recall telling my theralist sbout this after it happened. I recalk vyt icd is making me doubt this too. I know who i am and i know the fact this was an random intrusive thought turning into a real event false memory with doubts anxiety snd guilt shows its ocd. And the anxiety around the thought of arousing to the man makes me sick to my stomach and like ny therapist said i know im not gay and im not living two lives. I just thought it was a womans butt and ciuldnt tell that close up and when i realized it wasnt i was anxious.

Groinal non concordance during salah
Ugh i was making salah and has groinals. And worried i heard my childs voice. I struggke with pocd. I moved my legs because it hit the bed and i heard my kids voice then i felt groinals as i was bowing in ruku. My compulsion is saying stop and no and adjusting. And my ocd also causes involuntary intrusivr movements. Like sudden twitches or hip thrusts or bodily movements. I just remember adjusting while in ruku and saying no and stop to the thoughts. I also remember feeling thr groinals and just being in third person and observing jt. I also froze up and felt stuck. This happened twice. Then ocd says i was arousing myself over my kids voice during salah which i know is absurd its ego dystonic its ocd. I hate having pocd and groinals. I know i was just adjusting because ei hit the bed. Then i felt groinals and heard my kids voice and felt triggered by pocd. Then i felt my body twitching in ruku and me adjusting and also freezing up and getting stuck. Ocd tries ti make me thing i did something sexually inappropriate during prayer. I know thats not who i am. I dont do sexual inappropriate acts and especially not during prayer. I’ve already been very anxious for days so i know its just a continuation of ocd attacking me. I just hate that ofd makes me think by me adjusting and by bodily movements anxiously intrusively incoluntary moving and me getting stuck that i did something bad thats what ocd tells me. I know its not true. Why does ocd make us think or feel we did something bad
