iāve just been feeling so off lately. iām okay right now, but a couple hours ago i was in this mood where i felt anxiety creeping up. like i will feel like thereās danger when there isnāt. i just get this really uncomfortable feeling that something feels wrong even when it isnāt. and iāve been feeling derealization/depersonalization. just really disconnected from myself and the world. iāve also been unmotivated to where there are times when the thought of doing things upsets me. and iāve been having existential thoughts that do not mesh well with harm ocd. i get the thought āif people arenāt real then itās okay to hurt themā. it sucks because there are times where i just donāt even care to ruminate and find reassurance that thatās not the case. furthermore, iāve just been really aware of my existence. i will get moments where iām so aware of my existence and it freaks me out. like the fact that iām a living human being is crazy to me. then there are times when iām not even anxious about anything which then has me questioning and ruminating on that because i ALWAYS have something iām worrying about. iāve also been feeling really nostalgic and bittersweet of the good memories from the past. i keep thinking about good times iāve had and really wishing i could relive it. for example, last summer was a pretty good summer even with my ocd. and i just wish i could relive some of those moments, but i obviously canāt. and itās been upsetting me because this month has been shitty with my anxiety. as for an update with my room change to those of you curious, i still have anxiety over it and my mom is taking it as me being ungrateful with what i have when itās my ocd making a huge deal of it. that upsets me especially since iāve told her whatās been going on and she was really understanding of it. anyways, life has just been a bit much and iāve been dealing with more to my anxiety that i donāt appreciate. while worrying about constantly throwing up with my contamination ocd is incredibly exhausting, itās so normal to me that iām used to it. but when my harm ocd kicks in along with other themes that arenāt usually common for me, i freak out and feel like iām going insane. i genuinely wonder how people have dealt with taboo topics of ocd without treatment for years on end. iāve had harm intrusive thoughts since i was little, but it didnāt get to any extreme until 2023. i feel like iām drowning in it when it decides to hit me and the thought of having to deal with it for the rest of my life?? iām scared something in me will flip and iāll become what my thoughts are telling me i am. i apologize for the mixed thoughts that are all over the place but i feel safe posting on here about it and want to hear how yāall are doing

Hi all itās been a bit since Iāve posted. Iāve been doing ok ish Today has been weird, idk if itās cuz I upped my vyvanse to 20mg and itās making me anxious or if everything is just colliding rn It feels like idk myself anymore. Iāve been flipping between ROCD, soocd and tocd the last couple of days/weeks. Rn I just feel horrible and idk why but Iāve been on my period for 11 days now. My period usually lasts 7. When Iām not on birth control. Iāve been on birth control since October of last year and hadnāt had a period till coming home end of April/early may and now itās back again. Iāve been ranting to chat gpt (Ik itās bad, I just didnāt know who to turn to) Rn Iām just really in my head about my gender and Iām anxious and crying and I just donāt feel good. Context for tonightās thought I was doing my skincare, Iāve been trying to develop a routine cuz Iām bothered by the texture on my face and how it makes my makeup look. Iāve always felt less pretty than other girls tbh. Anywyas. As I was doing my skincare I had this thought just happen across my mind of āwhat if I dislike my skin and face so much cuz Iām trans? What if the reason Iāve been depressed lately is cuz Iām slowly becoming dysphoric and hating myself?ā When in fact I think the issue is: I havenāt seen my bf in a month and a bjt. Iāve been bleeding for 11 days. Iām in summer classes and stressed about the comjng semester and how much work I have to do to catch up cuz Iām in pre med and Iāve been fucking slacking lately and I truly hate myself for it. I miss being hugged by my bf. Iāll admit I need a good dicking down tbh. My brother is a whole other story while Iām home. I just feel. Gross and bad. And Iām worried Iām trans. Iām worried Iām a lesbian or smthn. Iām worried I donāt love my bf deeply enough and itās all just circling in my head a lot and I just feel like curling into a ball. Iāve always been a tomboy, I mostly hung out with boys cuz the girls never liked me. I was weird. I loved dragons. I had imaginary friends. At one point as a kid I tried a different name, I think it just didnāt fit and I grew out of that and just went back to my normal name. But now Iām worried I just repressed that. But I see a lot of girls who also went through the same thing and are also just women. But Iām so scared that Iām ānot letting the TV glowā like that trend (that shit made me so anxious. I have trans friends and I love them but im scared of it for myself) I feel still sorta tomboyish but dress feminine, once in a blue moon ill dress semi masculine and now Iām worried that means im either trans or a lesbian who wants to be masc. but Iām not. I donāt think I am Idk who I am anymore. Idk if itās just ocd or if im actually discovering smthn Im just anxious as hell tbh. So I donāt think thatās the case. Iām just sitting here. Looping in my head. My typical ādrown out the noiseā tv shows wonāt load properly cuz of our new wifi and itās really irritating me. What if Iāve been lying every time I try to do a āare you trans/genderfluid/non binary?ā quiz. What if Iāve been lying to my bf. My friends? My family? I keep thinking to myself, if I wasnāt with my bf would I dress the same? Yes I would. Iād still wear my cardigans. My sweaters. My dresses. Iād try out new styles like I want to rn with him. Iām just worried that teying smthn would make me realize smthn about myself but I donāt think it would. Idk. Iām just in all these irrational thoughts. Jumping to conclusions Any advice would be appreciated. I mostly just needed to vent about this.
