Im so sorry you are so young dealing with this. It is so hard but remember ocd is just ocd no matter the theme. I have this theme too and it’s so hard because it feels like it’s trying to take over your identity. It’s been so hard for me today because I am married with two kids and it’s trying to tell me I don’t love my husband and I’m not my kids mom, I’d rather be a man (which I don’t) and have always loved being a woman. We have to stay strong and show ocd who’s boss. I’m sorry, I know how hard the struggle is

It really does and I believe the hardest thing about this is is how hard it is to separate the symptoms . I swear there’s times that I’m like “ wth that’s fucking ridiculous I know who I am “ and then there’s that stupid thought like are you really happy in your own body ? Don’t you want a change ? Don’t you wanna feel something different? . Granted I remember I always said I wonder how it felt to be the opposite sex but I thought most people had that thought out of curiosity. But I don’t actually wanna strip myself from who I really am you know ? It’s so frustrating and this theme is so strong to me . Just when I think it’s going away it comes back . I want to be a girl again. When I see other women I feel less then and ashamed of myself because I feel like less of a woman and like a man ... I hate it honestly

Yess same! the worst part for me are the feelings. Like I can one time be convinced I want to be a guy and other times i can actually feel like a guy! It’s so awful! I’m glad you get it though!

Yeah it’s like a feeling of masculinity. It makes me feel less confident in myself . This theme traumatized me so much that I keep stalling on getting my nails done because I’m afraid that I’m going to hate it. But what’s crazy is today I saw all the girls at my job dressing nice with their nails done and I felt like a piece of shit

Yeah It’s almost like jealous of both genders. fake Jealousy of men and jealousy of women that they do what you want to do that you aren’t letting yourself do or are worried you hate. Do you ever feel happy as a girl but suddenly self aware in a weird way? like you suddenly don’t believe it or your mind says that isn’t you even though you felt like yourself as a girl for a while?

I’ve felt like a girl my entire life and I’m 18 so you can imagine how weird and disturbing it is for my mind to tell me I want to completely Change my life in a way I’ve never imagined nor wanted to

I’m worried this’ll lead to something but this is me: I’m a fifteen year old girl who’s struggled with this for a while. In January, I was hit with Harm OCD and it turned into Trans OCD mid march. I’ve had a history getting obsessed with things and my worry spiralling often and out of control

There are many forms of ocd in the world I believe that theres been at least one person in the world who's worried about the thoughts people with ocd have. We just have to be strong

OCD is so much more than just being 'neat' or 'organized'—it’s relentless, exhausting, and often deeply misunderstood. The intrusive thoughts, the compulsions, the anxiety—it can feel like a never-ending cycle that others just don’t seem to get. Many of us have had experiences where even therapists didn’t fully grasp the depth of our struggles. I myself faced difficulty being misdiagnosed and my talk therapist not understanding the full extent of what I was going through until I found NOCD. So many prior therapists wrote off my symptoms as general anxiety, not realizing it was actually OCD all along. If you could sit down with a therapist who truly wanted to understand, what do you wish they knew about OCD?

OCD can be an incredibly lonely experience, especially when people around you don’t understand the thoughts and fears you’re facing. But you’re not alone—others have been there too. What’s something about OCD that makes you feel isolated or alone?
