Remember everyone whatever OCD tells you is a lie! It's a medical condition and should be treated as just that a condition! It has nothing to do with who YOU are! Don't believe a word it tells you!

100percent!

@Crawfish Do I just treat groinals and intrusice feelings and intrusive dreams like they are lies from ocd?

@POCD/RealEventOCD Exactly!! I've had that all before and when I kept pushing through it got way better and stopped

What is your question?

@Anon221 I get the groinals all the time, and especially when I just see the subject of my main theme, what do I do. I don’t enjoy the thoughts or anything. But without a thought even being there, boom groinals epsecially when I see them. I’m only 15 and I’m scared shitless. :(

@Anonymous321 I am not a therapist, just to start off. But I want you to always try and ground yourself when these thoughts come into your head. It can sometimes seem that we are not our thoughts, and we are not our bodies.

@Anonymous321 Just accept the sensation there. It’s just a sensation. You don’t have to believe that it’s anything more even if OCD is telling you it is. Imagine the same way you get an itch. It’s just a sensation. Just notice it without reacting to it. It doesn’t mean anything. Accept the feeling and move on. Don’t give in to compulsions of trying to resist or escape the feeling. It will only make the problem worse

@Sasha Thank yoy guys. So it doesn’t mean anything?

@Anonymous321 It means that you are focusing too much attention on it, and so your brain is giving signals down there. The less attention you pay to it the less you’ll notice anything happening. But it means nothing sexual, it means nothing other than it’s a sensation.

@Anonymous321 I had this when I was your age as well. And it scared me. It goes away when you stop connecting your thoughts to it. Just a sensation; remember that.

@Sasha Thank you so so much. I can’t tell you how helpful this was for me

@Anonymous321 I wish I had this knoweldge when I was your age. It’s scary to go at it alone. But you are already taking giant leaps and learning about this disease at such a young age. I know you will get through this. Just keep learning and find an ocd therapist if you haven’t
