Hey I'm going through the same thing there's hope, are you seeing an ocd specialist

No. I am just so scared. Everything feels so real. Its like there is no way I could go back to normal because this is me now. It just feels too real. It’s like I am attracted to every girl I see now. It’s exhausting. Whenever I do exposures I worry that they calm me because deep down I have accepted this. I just worry what would my family think all the time now. Like this constant need to come out. There is no ocd specialists in my country. I just want to scream right now. I am I. Full anxiety attack mode

Do you mind if I ask which country you live in. There has to be at least a cbt therapist

Love yourself, and if exposures worry you instead teach yourself how to be okay with whatever your outcome is. If you’re a lesbian teach yourself to be okay and calm with that, if your straight remain calm and remind yourself that you are straight. And if you’re bi teach yourself to be calm and okay with loving men and women, there’s nothing wrong with getting two scoops of ice cream if you get my analogy.

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

I'm so tired 😭 I've been dealing with severe trans ocd for a month. My ocd is making me worry I'm a trans man. The thing is. I'm already out as nonbinary. I also compulsively confessed to my mom and told her I'm anxious I'll realize I'm a trans man and that I'm scared she'll hate me/abandon me. And she told me she would support me through it and my life even if she didn't understand it and that she wouldn't abandon me. I do like some masculine terms and I like he pronouns, I prefer they/them though. And I don't mind she, but I dont let people use it because I know they'll use it to misgender me. and that doesnt mean im a man. But I also don't know what I actually like/feel or what's OCD making me think I like/feel.. I can't stop ruminating and feeling like I need to label my gender pass nonbinary and think about if I feel like a man or not. So even when my biggest fear was denied I'm still anxious.
