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

Please read this. I’ve had ocd pretty much a lot of my life but never knew what it was until my senior year of highschool. I’m 21 with 2 kids and i believe i’ve had pocd a little bit before my daughter was born (which was 8 months ago). It made me start looking at all kids differently and i hate it. But it really started triggering me about 3 months ago. I’ve been thinking if i’d intentionally touched or harmed my kids the wrong way, or any kids for that matter. This started giving me false memories (or at least hope they are). I’ve been having panic attacks, yelling at myself, punching walls, praying, and even thoughts of ending my own life. I grew up in a severe toxic household throughout my childhood and teenage life. I’ve never wished that on my kids since i became a dad. I wanna give them the life i never got. I look back my photos of my children and i feel like i’m a complete fraud of a dad. I cannot look at my kids or be around them a lot of times. I can’t hold my daughter right. I can’t change their diaper when they need it. Even my son came and was hugging on me the other night while i was watching tv and i acted like a stranger to him. I can very little do this stuff sometimes because it’s either i get relief or i push my thoughts as far back as i can. I get scared if i did something to not just my kids, but any other kids in the past. I have such a a great life and such a beautiful family. It was hard and stressful at first being young with a family but i couldn’t be more thankful at all for them. I’m just so lost and stressed right now that i just don’t know what to do anymore

Honestly ocd has been so tough these past months, like I wake up in the morning thinking I accidentally hurt my whole family and just don’t remember. And I start to question so much. And freak out thinking that I did. If anyone can relate I would love to hear from you ;) and any things that may helped you

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.
