Hey, 2 weeks ago i had Self harm ocd,(Its my first month of ocd ever i think)It all started with an anxiety attack i felt all weak AND with bad symptoms but i didnt realized the OCD ay that moment, so i started treating my anxiety doing exercise and eating better, like a weeks ago my anxiety dropped a lot but i started having the thoughts of harming myself, but It lasted like 2 weeks because i started to lose fear AND accepted inwont do It never, so i was getting better with that ocd theme i almost controled It so i thought"Great so i might now start my life normally again" but BOOM! Bcs of a fkng comment ok YT about ocd that i read different types of ocd puré, i saw pocd And HOCD AND many More, AND i didnt took them seriously, because at that moment i was having the Self harm ocd, but the day after inwas walkong with my brother in the hood doing exercise, AND i saw a kid but at first i didnt cared, but idk why i remembered the comment and started thinking "why i looked at that kid?" But i kinda controlled it, and forgot about it, later un the might i was warching the olyimpics(giros swimming) with my Mom and Dad,AND i was all normal but then there were ones that were 14 ir 15 idk, and i remembered the image i had earlier AND the thought ñ, AND at that moment i had a little groinial, but i got that scared that i went to my room and searched about pocd and a lot of info that later affected me, but i was only scared, so i found the groinial response video AND i found that a lot of people had It, but the problem Is that for me to not feel it i started stretch the legs all might to try to supress It o couldnt sleep, what Is worse Is that the days later i had groinial AND tingling all day even if im not thinking about it, i have It all day, AND Its terrible bcs i dont know ir im getting aroused or not because i have the constant feeling all day even if im not thinking about it, i got so sad AND i talked about It with my Mom she got a little scared but i explained to her the ocd and i went to the therapist but she didnt knew what pure o was so It wasnt for much help, but now im going to another therapist that It is supposed to be into OCD, so idk what will happen, i hipe i can hey help bcs the constant physical sensation is awful, Since i was a kid i always liked the girls from college or older, i never felt attracted by a kid so idk what to do( sorry for my bad english im not native speaker) My question Is How to stop the groinial AND tingling even if im not thinking about It?pls ,

it's about anxiety so what you have to do is try to stay calm. And i know it's easier said than done but it's the simplest way. also expose yourself to the things that give you groinal responses so that you can find some ease

yea it's ok you have to find things to think about other than the ocd fixations. like a good tv show that draws you in so that's what your thinking about like an mystery maybe.

Hi just wanted to say this is almost word for word how mine happened and now im stuck on pocd too. I am a girl though. I know its the scariest thing in the world at first and even now i struggle every day since this began. I didnt develop intrusive thoughts until a couple months ago when getting on an ssri lexapro. It started with the suicidal ones then harm ocd towards others and now pocd mostly. I finished nocd therapy and it has helped some at least in regards to recognizing the ocd thoughts and using erp to combat them. The key for me is trying to not ruminate on them and just let them come without questioning or analyzing them. I then go and do other stuff which occupies my mind. I have my up and down days and any time i am more anxious or stressed the thoughts get worse and i can get depressed over it. Its a continuing fight but i hope one day to get back to a place where i was before without these thoughts, or at least without them being all day every day.
