@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 donāt enjoy the thoughts or anything. But without a thought even being there, boom groinals epsecially when I see them. Iām only 15 and Iām 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. Itās just a sensation. You donāt have to believe that itās anything more even if OCD is telling you it is. Imagine the same way you get an itch. Itās just a sensation. Just notice it without reacting to it. It doesnāt mean anything. Accept the feeling and move on. Donāt give in to compulsions of trying to resist or escape the feeling. It will only make the problem worse

@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 youāll notice anything happening. But it means nothing sexual, it means nothing other than itās 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.

@Anonymous321 I wish I had this knoweldge when I was your age. Itās 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 havenāt

Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.

Iāve been thinking a lot about how OCD changes the way we see ourselves, but I recently realized that I am not my thoughts. Just because a thought pops up doesnāt mean itās true or that it defines me. Iāve started learning how to see OCD for what it isājust a disorder trying to trick meāand Iāve become stronger in dealing with it. Has anyone else here had a similar realization? How do you handle these thoughts when they show up?

Lately Iāve seen way too many comments under posts about OCD, especially the harm, POCD, and relationship themes that are incredibly misinformed and honestly harmful. People saying things like āthese thoughts are unnatural,āor āyou need to go get real helpā and encouraging confession ***compulsions*** when they clearly have no understanding of how OCD actually works. Let me be clear: OCD involves distressing and unwanted thoughts, images, or urges. That doesnāt make someone dangerous. It makes them someone with a mental illness who is terrified of their own brain. Saying these people are āunnaturalā or implying theyāre broken only reinforces shame, and shame is the opposite of what helps anyone heal. If youāre commenting under OCD-related posts on an OCD ***app*** without understanding what intrusive thoughts are, or what compulsions can look like, or **how OCD can attach itself to the things we fear most** then please, stop. You are not helping. Youāre reinforcing stigma and pushing people further into silence. OCD is already isolating. We donāt need more people moralizing or projecting trauma theory onto something they havenāt experienced or donāt understand. If you really care, go learn. Read about intrusive thoughts. Learn about ERP therapy. Or maybe just listen. Because some of us are barely hanging on, and comments like those donāt just miss the point, they can do real damage. Iām sorry if I come off too angry, it just really upsets me to see people speak on something they clearly donāt understand. End of rant. Thank you for reading š¤
