Can someone with pocd talk to me? :( kinda struggling

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?

Hi I’m having such a hard time

@Anonymous321 Me too :( we have the same theme

@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
