What are you struggling with?

The groinals are KILLING me and I worry that it’s real arousal. It’s such a huge fear of mine. And the more I am nervous or scared, the more they appear. And continue. And they come around every situation revolving my intrusive thoughts. Even when I’m not near anyone, they are constant. Any tips?

@Anonymous321 I have this problem with unwanted sexual thoughts as well. You need to not panic. The more I panic, the more the responce intensifies. I do not know why our bodies do this. Resisting does not work very well, making jokes about it helps me bring my anxiety down. The questions around around arousal being "real" or "fake" is almost impossible to judge in that state. You can sit with the feeling eventually, but that takes time. I have gotten better at this, but it is really difficult.

@Hoor-Pa-Kraat Thank you so much. So they don’t matter? And so I should treat them as such?

@Anonymous321 It feels like the most important thing in the world right now, but it is not.

Ok so just treat it like it’s a joke. Don’t pay it second mind. Right?

@anonymous111 Unfortunately it’s not my only theme but it’s my hardest because I know I don’t want that, and i love everyone. So the fact my thoughts are making me believe I would want to is absurd

I'm struggling with pocd it feels very real and I'm at a point where I feel I need to go to confess to the police stuff I know I haven't done but have false memories of doing and I feel like nobody thinks like this and very alone.

Is there a therapist or a specialist on here that I can briefly chat with? Or maybe an OCD conqueror who’s very familiar with the disorder? I need an experienced person to talk to me so bad. I just really wanna talk to somebody about what I’m going through so that I feel less alone, and so I can maybe get help managing my symptoms. Thank you in advance ♥️
