I know how it feels. I struggled with TOCD for ages. I recovered from it and realised that (in my belief) gender isn’t real. It’s created by people but there’s no real rule saying that it’s real. It doesn’t exist. It’s a social construct. Only came form peoples head. So why should I have to think about it so much? I can do what I want, be called what I want, choose what I want to do with my identity. If I woke up one day and decided I wanted to be referred to as a different pronoun then I would bloody well ask someone to call me it. I don’t though because I never feel the need to.
I’m still a girl. But my brain has nothing to do with it. I can do what I want and it wouldn’t matter. If I developed a strong desire to have a gender surgery, then after a while I would have it. If I woke up and decided I don’t want to be called a girl anymore, I’d act on it. I’ll just go with what I want at the moment. It is my choice. I know this may seem scary now, my TOCD hit so hard that I didn’t sleep or eat, and I hate the sick feeling it gets. I know you may feel as if you can’t see your real desires, and that your identity seems blurry But it doesn’t matter in the long run. That’s how I see it. I really hope this isn’t triggering.
@OCDuser04 It's not triggering. In this moment, I need out of my female body and name and pronouns so badly. I need to get rid of this body. I can't live in it anymore. I'm terrified.
@Kaylaaaa I know how it feels. Take it easy. Are you anxious because you feel bad in a female body or that you are scared of being trans?
@OCDuser04 Both
SAAAME
it feels like i want to be a boy. i really dont i keep having these what i hope to be false feelings and they suck. oddly enough they make me feel more like a girl again so its a weird win win situation. i want to be fine again i wanna be that girl again. it just feels like i’ll never be and i just have to be a boy i hate it all
This is so extremely difficult, i’ve never experienced having thoughts of being a different gender. i’ve always been comfortable being a girl. i’ve always been a girly girl. this all started a couple months ago and it’s increasingly getting worse. i’ve had times where i didn’t like my body but i always thought i could just go to the gym and fix it, never did i think i wanted to be a man. ever since these thoughts started i hate looking at myself in the mirror, i hate looking at my body, i’m aware of my breasts all day everyday, i can’t look at pictures/ videos of myself. from the moment i wake up to the second i go to sleep i have these thoughts. i’m in a panic EVERYDAY. i don’t want to be trans but my thoughts are convincing me i do. i’ve never bat an eye when someone calls me a girl but now it’s like i’m aware of it which i hate. i hate that i’m having these thoughts & it’s convincing me that i want them & that i have to just come out and change. i want to be able to go back to being comfortable as a girl. this has left me feeling so hopeless and depressed, i can’t help but cry every day. has anyone else felt like their whole world was turned upside down?
I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
