As ugly as the thoughts are don’t react to them. I started laughing or giggling at them because in reality I know how RIDICULOUS they are. I do breathing exercises and just try my best to enjoy the moments. I have 2 children. It attacked them big time. But I’m at a place I get an intrusive thought one or two times a day!

@Fcukocd That was a nasty trick it threw at me and I continued to laugh at it still. The reaction to the thought is what makes us freak out. I take a deep breath and continue with what I’m doing

My best advice is do all the parent things no matter how uncomfortable or distressing it is. Do what you would do as the best version of yourself if you did not have the obstacle of OCD. My POCD hit when my child was 1.5 years. He is 3 now and it is rare for my OCD to flare up around this. Change the diapers, change the clothes, give the baths, the hugs, the snuggles, the affection. Do not refrain from parenting. Show your OCD who is boss!!

@Fcukocd I used to get those also. Once I realized how much anxiety generates sensation in your pelvis I started saying maybe it’s just anxiety, maybe it’s not. Don’t give up hope. I have not had the obstacle of Groinals in quite some time. Which means, there is hope for you as well 🙂

@Fcukocd I can see it. That sounds like a very normal sex dream

@Fcukocd My best advice is to tell yourself to pause every time you try and make meaning of some of the intrusive thoughts your OCD is giving you. Say maybe, maybe not. Shrug your shoulders. You need to take away its power. It’s hard, but you can do it. OCD will throw any thought at you, but more specifically the ones you really don’t want to have. This lessens as you take more power away from your OCD.

Groinal response is called arousal nonconformance.
