dear people, does it manifest itself like this for you too?

I know that there is that moment of groin and the feeling of "sexual" excitement in all ocd topics related to it... But when the therapist says that it is fake, and that the body reacts like that out of fear, or because it is a sexual topic, I can't accept it! My brain says, you have groin and excitement when you imagine your sister in such scenes, how can I accept that as a normal reaction and let those thoughts and feelings go?

From personal experience: I got to a point when I was so fed up with everything, so I said to myself: 'whatever, I can't go on like this, I'm done and given up, let it be just like that' and surprisingly it helped. I didn't have such strong reaction anymore. I still have intrusive thoughts and sometimes panic, but it got better. So trust me it can be better, you just need some more time to accommodate. You need to accept your OCD and current situation.

@genicrop09 It happens to me for a while, then the same thing, the worst moment for me is when I feel that way, and I'm afraid to do erp or imagine because I really don't know how sexual content can feel like "I don't care", and I'm also not able to say "I don't care" care"... so it happened to you too?

So I had made a comment earlier about the confusion around leaning into the dead and accepting uncertainty. The same way you would with thoughts , feelings , sensations also apply. All you have to do is not figure out what the feeling means, if you’re a bad person etc etc. Why ? Because no amount of reassurance is enough, it’ll keep you stuck

@httpet I know, but I don't know how not to feel bad about it, especially when my brain is telling me such things, I know that safety will mean nothing, but I wonder how to take that step and let those sensations be there, and if it's so twisted...

@Anonimus ME🫥 U are not alone , I am starting to realize saying it’s possible I do like this or is possible I don’t like this is not going to make me act on anything this is just to calm my system because I’m trying so hard to figure out what I feel and I’m trying to push away the possibility but now I’m trying not to , to just let it be and when u let it be it kinda gives u clarity on it our anxiety isn’t that we are this it’s the possibility or it , without the question or is or isn’t the worry fades

@lashawnda101 thank you for your reply! I don't know what to say, I don't know how to really capture that it's all anxiety...it seems so terribly real! I'm sending you a hug..this is not an easy fight

@Anonimus ME🫥 That’s why I don’t recommend people that aren’t in therapy to go into that yet because it is definitely easier with the guide of a professional. Definitely recommend getting therapy with an OCD specialist!

@httpet I certainly have it, as well as medication therapy, but give me a recommendation or advice on how your therapist guided you, if you think mine is not good for this?!

Some advice? Sexualizing think!

sexualizing the person my ocd is hooked on bothers me a lot! it doesn't matter if I see the picture, live, facial grimaces, movements... and the groin starts instantly... I somehow cope with thoughts, but with those feelings...very difficult? any advice? any similar experience?

Tingling or arousal sensations?

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮‍💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?

I can't do it anymore and I don't trust myself..😞

I can't anymore.. Erp is very traumatic for me. It's about a sexual topic, and I come out with those scenes in my head, as well as photos of that person where their face makes me think of sexual grimaces. Every time, but every time during practice, I get detailed scenes and groinal. To me it looks like real sexual excitement, and I don't know exactly how to be immune to something that is sex in itself! I don't believe it's part of ocd at all..because it won't come off me and I can't believe it's not me
