Everyday it just gets worse😔

@Ms.shelovesfrogs It’s getting worse because I keep experiencing groinal response and hyperawareness, it happened just now when I was looking at adult content and a triggering image of a man popped up and now I want to scream😭😔

@Fcukocd Take a step back. If someone else was telling you what you’re telling us, what would you tell them.

@sjwmzn2023 I’d tell them it’s just a response to anxiety and a symptom of OCD but it’s hard to tell myself that all I wanna do is scream😭

@Fcukocd You’re in a cycle that only you can break. I sincerely believe and mean it when I say that you are not the thing you’re afraid of.

@sjwmzn2023 It’s okay it’s just so exhausting😭

@Fcukocd It’s hard to take the advice that’s it’s just ocd and anxiety because ocd has it’s sneaky way of creating a tunnel vision during a spiral that makes us forget it’s ocd and dwell on what if it’s true. I no longer struggle but experience this theme and some days i am thinking like what if it’s true. Don’t beat yourself too hard. It takes time and effort to get to start catching ocd whenever it’s spiraling

@Fcukocd Having a groinal response doesn’t mean that you’re attracted to that gender. For me, I have groinal responses to pretty much every aspect of my anxiety/ocd. Things that aren’t even sexual in nature. It’s a miscommunication between your brain and your groin and it’s not a reflection of your sexuality. I know that reading all of this won’t change your brain, but maybe it will allow you to extend yourself some grace.

@sjwmzn2023 I’ll try and remember that, all I wanna do rn is cry😭
