I feel like I’m going through something similar. The thoughts feel like strong urges and like I like and want them almost. It’s causing me so much distress, and I feel like I’m barely holding on. I don’t know if this is OCD because it feels like denial and I’m so afraid

@ishdh.2 I feel the exact same I feel like I can never get it right and it sucks and yeah me too it’s hard to tell anymore if it’s ocd and I try to remind myself it is and then my brain is like no this isn’t ocd or something and then I think I’m in denial but I genuinely love the gender I was born into and I had no intentions of ever changing that but now it’s like I don’t know anymore or I’m not secure within my identity and I feel like I’m forcing everything but I loved doing the stuff I did before like putting on makeup and stuff like it made me feel good but now it’s just been so hard to do anything

@khm It’s the same for me. I felt comfortable identifying as a guy with he/him pronouns, and now I have no idea what I want. I’m getting so many intrusive thoughts of being the other gender paired with urges that feel so close to desire that I can’t even tell. It always causes stress but it’s so scary and so hard to know if I’m just forcing that stress. I wanna go back to before when I knew this was all irrational. I’m just so tired

@ishdh.2 i feel the exact same only I like being a woman and now it feels like I want to be a guy but I really don’t and I feel like I have to fight to keep my femininity but it’s literally been so hard and makes me feel like I’m lying to myself and that being a woman isn’t like my true self or something and me too everyday is so hard and long and exhausting I just wish things were how they used to be

I'm a trans man and I've been diagnosed this year. I don't want to give you guys reassurence, but I've never felt like I love the gender I was born into and that I like being a "woman" even slightly. I doubt other trans men feel that way too, thinking about it makes me a little bit dysphoric already. So it's all just your OCD.

I feel different from others, I don’t feel as feminine and I feel like I’ve changed. I’m not sure why I feel this way. I also don’t think my ocd is ocd, it’s just something I told myself to feel better. I know! What if I am what if I’m not, I get it, but I don’t feel like i have a choice in the matter anymore. I have soocd and it’s eaten me alive for years. I woke up out of my sleep and got triggered and here I am. I don’t know what I feel anymore. I always wanted a boyfriend and now It seemed to change. I don’t want a girlfriend, it’s just that I don’t see anything for myself and I feel like I’m hiding. It’s hard to explain. Plus sometimes the way I move or speak makes me feel more masculine and it kills me. Im feeling so lost and alone right now. I know what I want deep down but I feel incapable of having those things because I won’t be able to have feeling. If that makes sense.

Is it normal for this theme to legit make you feel like you’re the opposite gender and that’s what you want to be and it’s very convincing? And you just keep getting images and scenarios in ur head of you transitioning and actually going through with it? This is sooo scary and i don’t feel like myself at all anymore. It’s making me not feel like a woman or myself of how I’ve always been my whole life. I’m really nervous and scared, it’s really make me feel like this is my true feelings/ self ): it’s causing me to feel weird k. My own body and feel weird about my body parts. Like my brain is literally thinking as a trans person would feel or think like wtf??? Is this normal?!? Pls someone let me know. & and it’s making me feel like I’m attracted to woman all the sudden and i keep getting flashes of that in my head. I’m in a relationship and im scared this is gonna ruin things bc the way this theme is making me feel and my body. Ugh ihml, need some advice. Has anyone experienced exactly this??

I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression
