Does anyone else get triggered by a body part? It’s like I didn’t even know it existed or something before all of this. And now it just freaks me out all the time and I keep trying to check to see if I’m attracted or not.

I’m scared it’s attraction and i dont want it:( And i also know i’m not attracted to them in that way, it’s like an uncomfy type feeling and i don’t know it’s weird and i’m scared i would like doing stuff if i just did it but i don’t want to and even as i thought of that i got like a weird feeling in my chest of like cold / hot like idk how to describe this Then i feel like i get all clamy The part that worries me the most is the feeling i get in my head and my face feels like flushed / heated and i don’t see people talk about this a lot Like does this sound like attraction??

@hate_ocd.123 Same! Like it makes me feel uncomfortable too and I’ve literally questioned the same thing as you. A bunch of what if’s… like what if I would like it and etc. and all of those symptoms sounds like it could be from anxiety. I know when I wake up in the morning feeling anxious, I also feel like heated and clamy.

@Anonymous But its whenever i see a naked girl or even think of a naked girl :( does that happen with you too?? Im so scared right now that those feelings are attraction

@Anonymous Like i had to help my friend with her dress and i had so much anxiety and was so uncomfortable touching her and i dont wanna do that in real life and i think if i did i would puke from anxiety but i’m scared i woukd like it and get turned on but i dont think i was turned on and idk im just so scared

@hate_ocd.123 I’ve had the groinal responses happen to me sometimes whenever I tried checking like you do.

@hate_ocd.123 No I 100% understand what you mean! Are you seeing a therapist or going to?

@Anonymous I see an ocd specialist in two days, so yes haha

@hate_ocd.123 That’s good!!! You remind me a lot of me and I think you’ll feel a lot better once you talk to them! Obviously only for a little bit because they don’t provide much reassurance but they will help you with your anxiety and tell you what’s going on! My first session is tomorrow and I do really think ERP is going to help a lot and has helped a lot of others :)

@Anonymous I really hope so. I feel really loss. Everytime i get an intrusive thought i hit my head to the point my hand is swollen and my head is bruised. And i scratch myself without realizing it so my arms are all scratched up. It’s really exhausting:(

@hate_ocd.123 I’m really sorry!!! Keep pushing through :( trust me I know it’s hard but you got this and it’s cliche to say but you’re not alone! Feel free to talk to me whenever! I know we’re not supposed to reassure eahcoeher though because it makes ocd worse :/
