Groinal responses
Worry about groinal responses while laying down and worry when i hear relatives voices. I adjust as a compulsion and worry if im arousing and if i dont move i worry am i dwelling.

Groinal responses are a common OCD theme. I think they're designed to keep us worried, and, consequently, on the OCD rumination treadmill. Mindfullness is very important for us with OCD. Understand where it's coming from--OCD--not you, and move on. Hope this helps.

@Steven55! That means a lot. Even adjusting my body to get comfortable i go back and forth because i worry am i sitting be or laying where someone else did or am i doing it to arouse myself and have these intrusive thoughts. I go back and forth moving because of anxiety and then it makes it worse am i doing anything wrong. But the stress is the ocd and sadly im just reacting and doing compulsions which dont help

Again! OCD hard at work messing with your head. Disregard everything (and I mean everything) OCD tries to tell you. Groinals, thoughts, images, dreams etc etc etc........its all the same bullshit! Dig deep my friend, recovery is within arms reach š

Groinals again
I was talking with my family. I got groinal and usually try to avoid it. My therapist said for erp dont avoid it. Even lean into or aomething. I felt my hips thrust or me lean forward as i was sitting and ocd makes me feel guilty. I than did mental compulsions like self talk repearing ānoā and ruminating on it after. But i know i wasnt trying ti do anything inappropriate

? for those who consider themselves ārecoveredāā¦
If you suffer from taboo themes, and deal with groinal responsesā¦ Do you feel they have disappeared? Do you still notice them? For myself, they have become so engrained/automatic , so while i do not get āanxiousā by them anymore i still can clock them & it can feel discouraging ā¦ What are your experiences?

I feel anxious
Iām on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse todayā¦ I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I canāt move or talk cause Iāll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, Iāve noticed that I do have these gronials as if Iām actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think āoh Iām horny, not about this but I amā is that possible? Idk how to say itā¦ also I think I just want reassurance but Iām also scaredā¦
