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
Okayed me start off by day I’m not seeking reassurance so don’t give it to me . I just need to know that I’m not alone in this trans theme . This is the second month that I had this theme . It has completely ruined me . I’m not going to lie it has me a bit suicidal I feel like I’m going insane and I feel like I’m a whole different person. Like I just turned into a boy out of nowhere . And it feels very real . And I can’t even look at myself in the mirror anymore without second guessing myself . My brain will either tell me I look like a boy or tell me I am one . I don’t like it . But I feel like I just have to try to deal with it now . Like maybe I am a boy now ? It pains to have to “accept” something like this because I know deep down inside no matter how real it feels , I am Naja Demsyn . But my brain just won’t stop no matter what I do . I stoped the googling , I stopped the compulsions, I’ve tried the sarcasm and it still will not go away . I feel like it’s erasing my entire life . I’ve been a girl for 18 years and never questioned it and did what I enjoyed . I was happy the way I was . I had minor insecurities but I was confident as a girl growing into a woman . I wanted a husband and to be married with kids . I looked up to other woman like Beyoncé and Michelle Obama . I wanted to be like my sisters . I liked doing things like getting my nails and hair done . It made me feel good . And all of that was taken from me . It tells me I hate my body , I hate my face . Can’t stop getting images of myself as a boy . Tells me I’m not really In love with my boyfriend and I never liked boys . It’s told me that I was really like this my entire life . Sometimes it even makes up little scenarios of the past as if I’ve questioned my gender before . This has to be the worst theme that has ever happened to me . I legit can not take it . I feel like I won’t recover from this and I am going to be forced to be something I never wanted to be and live unhappy. And this is where the suicidal thoughts come in . If I can’t be myself than what’s the point of living ? It associates me with Every man I see as if I am there equal . And I’m not and I don’t want to be . And I keep praying that it will go away and nothing works . I don’t know what else to do my options are getting limited I’m getting more depressed and life is getting so much more evil than it was before . Someone please give me some kind of advice at least on how to deal with this or what may happen to me . I’m scared , I’m lonely and I feel like dying .
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 dont feel well, I feel extremely ill from the panic and anxiety attack I had last night. The transgender thing really triggered me and i genuinely believe thats the real me. My future isnt looking good, this isnt even an ocd topic anymore but I dont want to leave this app. What am I going to do from now on? I have register for spring semester but how when condiyion is like this? Wtf my body feels weak, what has happened to me.
