Please help

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

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. ❤️
