Ok so if u are gay or trans( which I doubt u are) , whats next? Are u just gonna come on the app and ask for help? Or are u gonna accept it and start getting better? In my opinion if u are so distressed about these thoughts that u are gay and or trans, then you probably aren’t. And when u look things up to prove that you are, your ocd picks everything and anything to use agaisnt u. Idk if u understand that OCD is in ur brain and has as much disposal to information as you. Its a disorder of uncertainty, u are worried abour being gay because u aren’t sure. Humans love control and to be certain, but when given uncertainty it causes fear and anxeity beccause we arent in control and when that becomes an obsrssion it becomes OCD
What I said arent even tocd symptoms, what am I gonna do? Im freaking out man, I want to cry
This is how ocd attacks! I think exposure therapy with NOCD or any other therapist would help. This is how it feels. Don’t let ocd take over your world. I have so many types- I have just started . It brought over my previous phobia attacks but did not bother me as much.
How is this ocd?
Well, I want to be a woman but I can't stand a thought of not passing. I don't want to be transgender. I want to be a woman. I feel like shaming embarrassment but largely because I know that I can never actually be a woman. I can just be a person with either transgenderism gender dysphoria, maybe t OCD and the the feeling of being women doesn't even last for me. Want to be a man sometime to flip back and forth depending on the day how I'm feeling so who the heck knows. No matter what I choose, I'm going to feel shame and embarrassed either because I neglected to transition when I would have passed more earlier in life and could have transitioned earlier
Bro u have OCD. Like plain and simple. Every symptom you have is OCD and you looking it up is just reassurance. The first step to u getting better is accepting u have OCD, if u dont accept it u cant even begin to try and get bbetter
Bro, No, its not ocd, its literally not reassurance only works for people with ocd nothing has convinced me in months that I do have ocd, nothing! And I will go for a walk but Its not that what if im gay or trans, I think I am. Everything jn my head makes sense, and how ive been wrong about my sexuality and gender this whole time and through Hocd obsession I found my true self. This is just what my life is now, I dont know who to talk to or what to do.
@Imaan7 As someone who also has tocd, I can tell that you’re not trans. Reassurance does not actually convince people that they’re not trans. It only brings brief relief until the thoughts come back more distressing and frequently.
@Owen Roberts I dont think this is tocd man, I dont know what it is. I believe Im just trans and never understood what being an actual Man actually felt like up until this hit me and the thought that im a woman and doing things with men seems to arouse me, I cant see men as just men my brain is percieveing them as sexual and romantic beings and it feels like Im liking it. It also feels like If I wasnt part of a big family, was rich and lived in a completely new country Id be ok with wanting to be a woman. I was able to relate to that persons post on reddit who transitioned and some other few comments, that panic attack from last night is still lingering. This is literally not ocd man and like I know its not too.
@Imaan7 If you’re having panic attacks over this it seems like it is OCD man. I’ve had similar experiences where I “test” how I would feel being a woman and experiencing sex from a woman’s perspective, and it is certainly arousing. But that has nothing to do with my actual identity. And “liking it” I think is what they call a backward spike. I guess all I would say is if you’re actually trans you should come out to your family.
@Owen Roberts Thats so triggring to hear man and makes me want to Kms
@Imaan7 I would just relax bro. It’s obvious to me you have OCD.
@Owen Roberts How man, its really not man
Guys no no no I just searched something up on the trans subreddit and I saw a meme saying “it’s probably just ocd” and I’m panicking again. I’m not even sure it’s ocd. I’ve questioned my gender before and I’ve been a tomboy since I was like 11. I even once TOLD SOMEONE I wanted to be a boy. I’m freaking out because this HAS to be denial at this point. I knew I shouldn’t have looked on the subreddit. I’m so DUMB. I hate this I’m freaking out my stomach has turned over. I don’t know what this is anymore. I’m getting over it but it also feels like I’m “accepting” that I’m trans. I don’t know what to do because I wanna be a girl!! I don’t wanna come out and transition and everything. If I look back at my early days of my tocd I feel like it’s word for word symptoms of OCD but I also feel like when I found out it was ocd my symptoms became more like ocd. I dont wanna accept I’m trans! I was doing quite well until I went on the subreddit! I’m so scared because I think it’s not ocd at this point. I HAVE to stop going on that stupid website. The only time I had “dysphoria” is disliking my boobs, but I remember in the early stages of puberty I was so excited to wear a bra. I’m so confused help please. I sometimes feel like I’m forcing myself to do compulsions because I just want to think it’s ocd. I’m so stupid WHY DID I GO ON REDDITT
I'm really really scared that I might be transgender I don't know if it's ocd or denial can anyone please help
Someone please help me . I’m so tired of this gender identity thing . I did a compulsion and googled gender dysphoria symptoms and I had a panic attack . One of the articles said that sometimes children with gender dysphoria say that they are bi to suppress that they are trans and I remember when I was little I did think that I liked girls once but then I got older and realized I don’t but now I just don’t know . I took a self assessment test to see if I have gender dysphoria and it says that I don’t but then idk if I was lying or not and when I see articles on symptoms of people with trans ocd I know it sound just like me and that being a man dosnt align with who I am but then I feel like I’m lying about that too . Then it’s what if I’m non bianary ? What if I get used to the thoughts and I start to actually be comfortable as a boy ? I feel like I can’t do anything , I can’t be a mom , I can’t be a gf , I can’t be a friend a daughter and can’t do anything . I feel defeated and sad . I don’t want to be trans but it feels like I have no choice and I can’t take that I will never know if this is ocd or who I really am and it’s starting to feel like this is who I am and it makes me sad . No one around me understands and I feel like I’m putting to much on my friends and family with all of this. I just want it to stop
