scared of having pgad
//tw: afab genital/sxual health,, if that’s icky to you i suggest you click off now and have a great day <3
this started a day or two ago. like, a weird tingly feeling in my lower area. i know WHAT it means (arousal) but i don’t want to go into too much detail. but the thing is, it wouldn’t even go away. for anything. like,, sometimes the feeling WOULD go for a bit but then it’d come back,, and i wouldn’t even be doing anything that would trigger a stimulation response. the feeling just sits there. it’s been really distressing. i searched on google for what this could be (i know, probably not the best idea) and i stumbled across the condition of pgad (persistent genital arousal disorder), and to say the least i’m panicking. i have NO ONE to talk abt this with. and if i told my mom she’d think im some sort of disgusting shameful dirty person that did this to myself. so now i don’t know what to do.
@tokkittalgi @tokkittalgi It sounds like you're in a really tough place right now, feeling a lot of distress and uncertainty about what’s happening to you. It’s completely understandable that you’d be feeling anxious, especially when something that doesn’t seem to have a clear cause is making you uncomfortable, both physically and emotionally. The fact that you feel like you can’t talk to anyone about this, especially with how you worry your mom might react, must make everything feel even more isolating. It’s hard enough dealing with something confusing on your own, and I can imagine how the fear of judgment might make it feel even worse.
I want you to know that you are not alone in this, even though it may feel like it right now. It’s so understandable to feel overwhelmed and unsure, but I want to reassure you that you’re in a safe space here, where there’s no judgment—only care and understanding. You deserve to feel supported and heard as you navigate what’s going on.
