4 physical sensations that can be related to OCD

Groinal responses! Thank goodness! It is so awkward explaining that feeling without it sounding like arousal. I’m relieved other people experience this too.

I will also “feel” physical sensations when I’m having an obsession that relates to my body (ex: “did I accidentally eat a shard of glass or a piece of lead paint” my tummy might feel funny or my throat my feel sore).

Guh, yes, especially the panic attacks. It's the worst when they really, REALLY grasp hold of you. It takes me days, sometimes weeks to recover.

Oh only abt every hr of every day 😂-thank u NOCD for helping me work on living with it

Does anyone worry about being g too much for your spouse with your mental health issues. I feel it wearing on him but he is still so good to me!

I have a big fear around food due to having deadly allergies to cashews and pistachios. And now they are so commonly used. I often have severe anxiety attack just from thinking about it.

I agree

All of the above 😱

Also pain! I have been struggling with ocd about pain symptoms w no physical cause

for me the biggest one is feelings of "wrongness" - it's often generalized and there's nothing in particular to even "fix" which is torturous
