Help

Hi I’m really struggling I was up until 5 am last night getting showers and washing my bedding in stress. I want to know if ocd can do this…. When I get gronal responses it feels nice and last night even tho it was over a child it felt too nice to try to stop it… but can ocd do this, even tho the gronal responses was because of a child. I’m im so much distress due to this. Like they felt genuinely enjoyable and I wanted them but that itself was freaking me out

What you're describing sounds incredibly challenging and frightening. OCD can be very deceptive, causing intense intrusive thoughts and physiological responses that can make you doubt yourself. It's important to remember that these thoughts and feelings are often a symptom of OCD and not a reflection of your true self, especially when they cause such significant distress. Help is here at NOCD and we can assist you in finding outside help if needed too.

I think the therapist’s response above is helpful. Are you in therapy? Your posts are often seeking reassurance and obviously that isn’t effective because you keep seeking reassurance. There seems to be a war in your brain of having disturbing thoughts but also feeling pleasure and it sounds confusing. I don’t have experience with POCD but with any OCD, you need to break the cycle, by allowing intrusive thoughts to exist without doing compulsions. What are you doing to try to break the cycle?

@JediMJ I’m trying my hardest to break the cycle but it’s hard when in the moment you feel pleasure from the feeling and when it’s over kids it’s horrible and I can’t seem to stop the cycle

@JediMJ 18+ Pocd Iwas changing my bedding after washing it already due to ocd. I had a thought to make my leg rub against my pillow whilst making my bed for a feeling over kids and in the moment I did it. I don’t wanna have to wash my bedding again it’s just come out of the wash for the 9th time in 2 days…. Can ocd cause little actions like this

OCD can cause groinal responses if you’re very focused on something. Thinking about anything sexual can cause a groinal response, it’s your body’s natural reaction to anything sexual. My advice is take a breath and be confident in who you are.

@Anonymous But it’s over kids…. Like the intrusive thought about kids then get gronal response and it feels nice and I can’t stop it as it feels very pleasurable but I hate it

Intrusive thoughts after masturbation

Dose anyone else experience that your OCD calms down and goes to the back of your mind during- feels almost safe and unaware of it but as soon as it's over and youve calmed down all the intrusive thoughts come rushing back 10x worse? I've had really awful panic attacks because of it the past two nights and it's exhausting I haven't been with another person in over a year because of how bad it was after and not being able to explain it properly to partners "no I'm not crying because of you" "no you didn't do anything wrong" I feel insane- like I'll never be able to have a normal functioning sexual time alone or with others do to it the compulsions that come with it are exhausting it's like the need to cleanse myself of filth like I'm disgusting and horrible until there's no traces I did anything in the first place I'm just so tired dose anyone have any tips of how to work through this- or at least be able to enjoy myself without crying afterwords? I have no idea what subtype this would even entail? I'm going to go with contamination I guess ?

Groinal Arousals/Responses Are Driving Me Insane

Every time I go to bed late and I’m falling asleep, I suddenly get an intrusive thought of a child’s face and my groinal area always responds to it. It’s such an uncomfortable experience. I am way too tired to try and freak out so I end up falling asleep. The next morning I’m always trying to figure out whether I had the groinal response first or after the thought. I start giving OCD power but it feels like If I let it go, then I’m in denial or whatever. I don’t want to ever do anything sexual with a child. I don’t even feel comfortable talking platonically with people who are 17, much less a child. My therapist says that I have a deep rooted fear that I’m this horrible person and that OCD loves to feed off of it. When you get a groinal response, it makes the thought that much more real. I never want these things to happen. I want to only be into adults. It’s so discomforting and stressful. Especially since I’m hyper checking how anxious I am, and if I find I didn’t really have much anxiety, then I’m like “well if I didn’t have anxiety, what does this mean?” And more questions occur til I end up in a rabbit hole

I feel anxious

I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…
