Guys I literally feel trans. I literally feel like I have to come out and that I’m not a girl anymore 😭😭 I can’t believe my life has come to this.
Hey I’m trans and I had this exact thing but opposite!! I was scared that I was cis and lying to myself. (I was not) I felt the need to tell everyone “oh hey haha jk” even though I felt comfortable in my gender but my brain always had this icky “what if” and “this will go away and you will feel normal and be happy if you tell them ur actually cis.” Honestly just ignore it, mine lasted like a good month but it did go away and I’m more confident then ever that I’m trans, so it was for sure just intrusive thoughts. If you don’t want to be trans, then don’t and just ignore it. The more you look into it and look up things about it, the more you supply your brain with knowledge it can use to trick you❤️
Ugh it’s the worst. I feel like a man in the inside and that my femininity is gone but I want it back. 😭 it feels so convincing that I’m trans
Is this the OCD, or do you actually feel you might be trans?
Idek at this point
I hope it’s the ocd
@Itswhatever Can I ask why you 'hope it's the OCD'? If you really don't want to be transgender, than you're probably not transgender.
@Declan Because I don’t want to be transgender. Like I’ve had this for a month. I feel like a man in the inside but I don’t want to feel like that 😭
@Itswhatever As a trans male myself, I totally get that. And I would encourage you not to worry about 'what-ifs'. Take the time to listen to yourself, even experiment with styles or pronouns if that's something you're comfortable with right now. But if not, that's okay. You don't have to be anything right now. You're still you.
@Declan I’m sorry but you saying that u can relate to that is very triggering to me because I don’t want to be a male. But no offense to you at all. That’s just not something I want for myself.
@Itswhatever Hi love. I know you are in distress because even reading this chain brought back some of my OCD about this topic but @Declans experience should help you- him being a trans male himself has nothing to do with you’re situation whatsoever. If anything this is OCD because of how uncomfortable you feel when he says “you don’t have to be anything right now you are still you”. What he relates to is feeling like you are not comfortable with you’re own gender; because the OCD makes you FEEL like that even though it’s not true.
@SDW453 Ugh the thing that gets me is the “feeling” of male. Like I feel like a male. And I can’t stop having anxiety over it. I don’t wanna feel like a man. I wanna feel like a girl
@Itswhatever Did you read the Instagram post I Reccomended to you?
@SDW453 Yes
@Itswhatever Did it help ?
@SDW453 It helps me because it reminds me that it is just OCD. But the only way to get over it is by accepting the things and not giving into compulsions.
@SDW453 Ugh it helped a little but it didn’t say anything about feeling like the opposite gender so it kind threw me off and made me anxious
@Itswhatever But that’s what OCD does… it makes you feel things you don’t wanna feel. Did rhis just come randomly out of the blue?
@SDW453 Yes I had hocd before this and then I was reading about someone’s intrusive thoughts about trans ocd on this app and then the thoughts just came flooding in.
@Itswhatever See. Ans thing happened to me love. People who are trans don’t have ocd about being trans… don’t worry. I also have SOCD that randomly got intrsuive thoughts about this. It’s all OCD. i promise
@Itswhatever When you want to transition, you don’t feel like this RANDOMLY and after another theme. I’m don’t giving reassurance because that won’t help BUT i hope I can make you feel better
@SDW453 Thank you so much angel! U honestly did make me feel valid and heard unlike a lot of people so thank you so much. It’s just so hard to tell what’s real and what’s not all the time :( but thank you so much
@Itswhatever Of course I’m always here for you
@SDW453 Do you have insta ?
@Itswhatever yes I do! it’s @sofweissman
@SDW453 Followed ya:)
@Itswhatever you’re gorgeous love! and comfortable in YOUR own skin. You can always DM me whenever you want💗
@SDW453 Thank you so much. I sure will. Did u say you’ve had this theme before.
@Itswhatever Well it’s fairly new I literally got a random intrsuive thought about it kinda the same way you did on Sunday morning. I saw a video of someone who is trans and all the sudden got all these intrsuive thiughts about it which scared the living hell out of me. It was completely out of the blue.
@SDW453 It feels shameful, unlike me, and very disturbing. I am starting ERP Thearpy to deal with my many other themes (if you click on my profile you will see them:) so I hope that will help. My thearpist told me whenvee I get a thought to say “I don’t need to figure this out right now” and countinue with my normal schduele. When I have done that and not talked about it constantly it has helped me. Try this… whenever you get a thought say “this is ocd, I don’t need to solve this right now”. It’s okay to be uncomfortable you are NOT in danger.
@SDW453 Thank you honey. ❤️
Hey love- this is probably you’re OCD. all the sudden out of the blue a few days ago I got intrusive thiughts about me being trans when I have NEVER questioned it and am a very feminine girl and always felt comfortable with my gender identity. I did some reading and with TOCD it usually happens when someone has a different form of OCD and happens out of the blue rather than someone who is actually transgender these feelings don’t just come “out of the blue” per say
If your trans then your trans it won’t change anything unless if you think ocd is making you feel this way
if you have Instagram, I reccomend going on the account @soocdsupport and reading their post on transgender OCD. ur not alone
Today I woke up and immediately was flooded with intrusive thoughts. I was thinking about how I want to remembered when my time on earth is finished. I want to be remembered by my kindness and my heart. I want to be remembered by the lives i’ve changed. But then it hit me. What if you want to be a girl? What if you’re just telling yourself you don’t want to be a girl? I shouldn’t be scared, my family would love me no matter what I was. But this.. This is taking its toll on me. People call me maam all the time. I have feminine features and qualities.. It makes me question everything I know about my life. But I think what makes it worse is that i’m scared but don’t feel scared? Like I don’t feel intense fear like I once did. I know that I don’t want to be a girl. I don’t want boobs or long hair and nails. I have feminine qualities but I just exist. And this morning it’s hitting me very hard. I hate TOCD. I hate that I can’t just have one moment of peace. That it finds ways to seep into my life by finding areas i’m weakest in. I read other people’s stories and kinda do checking with it. And to make it all worse my for you page is FILLED with trans tiktok’s and peoples experiences. It’s making me mad. Why can’t I just be happy? Like everyone else in my house? Why did I inherit this stupid fucking disorder? And why do I question everything single thing about myself. First it was fear I was going to hurt someone and be a monster. And now it’s fucking thoughts of me wanting to be a girl?? Anyways have a nice day guys.
Hi all it’s been a bit since I’ve posted. I’ve been doing ok ish Today has been weird, idk if it’s cuz I upped my vyvanse to 20mg and it’s making me anxious or if everything is just colliding rn It feels like idk myself anymore. I’ve been flipping between ROCD, soocd and tocd the last couple of days/weeks. Rn I just feel horrible and idk why but I’ve been on my period for 11 days now. My period usually lasts 7. When I’m not on birth control. I’ve been on birth control since October of last year and hadn’t had a period till coming home end of April/early may and now it’s back again. I’ve been ranting to chat gpt (Ik it’s bad, I just didn’t know who to turn to) Rn I’m just really in my head about my gender and I’m anxious and crying and I just don’t feel good. Context for tonight’s thought I was doing my skincare, I’ve been trying to develop a routine cuz I’m bothered by the texture on my face and how it makes my makeup look. I’ve 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 “what if I dislike my skin and face so much cuz I’m trans? What if the reason I’ve been depressed lately is cuz I’m slowly becoming dysphoric and hating myself?” When in fact I think the issue is: I haven’t seen my bf in a month and a bjt. I’ve been bleeding for 11 days. I’m in summer classes and stressed about the comjng semester and how much work I have to do to catch up cuz I’m in pre med and I’ve been fucking slacking lately and I truly hate myself for it. I miss being hugged by my bf. I’ll admit I need a good dicking down tbh. My brother is a whole other story while I’m home. I just feel. Gross and bad. And I’m worried I’m trans. I’m worried I’m a lesbian or smthn. I’m worried I don’t love my bf deeply enough and it’s all just circling in my head a lot and I just feel like curling into a ball. I’ve 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 didn’t fit and I grew out of that and just went back to my normal name. But now I’m 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 I’m so scared that I’m “not letting the TV glow” 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 I’m worried that means im either trans or a lesbian who wants to be masc. but I’m not. I don’t think I am Idk who I am anymore. Idk if it’s just ocd or if im actually discovering smthn Im just anxious as hell tbh. So I don’t think that’s the case. I’m just sitting here. Looping in my head. My typical “drown out the noise” tv shows won’t load properly cuz of our new wifi and it’s really irritating me. What if I’ve been lying every time I try to do a “are you trans/genderfluid/non binary?” quiz. What if I’ve been lying to my bf. My friends? My family? I keep thinking to myself, if I wasn’t with my bf would I dress the same? Yes I would. I’d still wear my cardigans. My sweaters. My dresses. I’d try out new styles like I want to rn with him. I’m just worried that teying smthn would make me realize smthn about myself but I don’t think it would. Idk. I’m just in all these irrational thoughts. Jumping to conclusions Any advice would be appreciated. I mostly just needed to vent about this.
I feel like I want to be lesbian. I want to cry. I gave into compulsions and I went on lesbian TikTok. It feels like something I want to try and do and that I’d be happier. Why is it so real. I don’t want to be lesbian but I feel like I’m pushing down the truth. How do I stop giving into these compulsions and feel better, I can’t do this anymore. I don’t even remember being straight or liking men. I hate this.
