It feels like I’m just in denial. Like I just need to accept it. I don’t want to. I want to have a husband and a babies. I don’t want this. I’m scared. It feels so. Real.
It’s making it feel so real for me too… My friend was making another hinge account for me and she was going to put that I was bisexual. I stopped her and when she asked why, I was trying to say "because I'm straight" but what came out of my mouth was "I want people to see me as straight"... my HOCD is telling me that I'm in denial because of this and it's making me feel like I'm not anxious about it...
@Givenup I get how that would trigger you. Hope your okay. I, like you, have said things like that loads of times. I even had to ask all my close family that if I was anything other than straight would they accept me. It was almost like coming out. It was so scary
I can completely relate and the loss of attraction for guys has not helped either
@Mak46 Yup. I’m the same
I feel this. Today, it feels like my OCD is telling me that I’m actually just afraid of being straight which is not true, I quite enjoy being straight and being attracted to the opposite sex. And it’s freaking me out because the anxieties not as high as it’s been. But I keep asking myself how I can go from being very attracted to the opposite sex one day then this comes and all the sudden everything’s changed. That just doesn’t happen.
Hello! It sounds like you’re where I was for about four years of my life 🫠 I won’t provide reassurance, but I’ll say this: I chose to believe in my life with my fiancé and desire for babies with him. Deep down, I knew this was what I wanted, and I didn’t want the alternative—as much as my brain challenged me (and still does) on the topic. There are a lot of scary stories out there that it was easy to project onto my own experience—remember that those stories are *other people’s stories* and not your own. Trusting oneself can feel hard with OCD, but it sounds to me like you know what you want. And what you want is what matters 💜
@LSea2021 I’m very happy for you :)
I genuinely feel like this terror inside myself, like this is my last day till everything gets horrible… idk suddenly I have this anxiety this “fear of nothing” makes me feel like I’m not gonna make it, that I will never feel okay and that my life is over. I’m scared, I’m always scared
It all feels so real… HOCD and ROCD… I know I love my husband but I don’t feel anything rn not even talking about HOCD. I know it’s the worst thing I can do but it starts to feel like the right thing to do..
I don’t know why I keep triggering myself but I think it’s real this time. I’m really fucking scared. I don’t want to be a boy but I feel like I have evidence now. Honestly this is the worst I’ve ever been, my anxiety is so bad and I really think it’s true I don’t want to be a boy but fuuuuuuck it feels like there’s no way out. I’m only 14 and I already feel like my life is over before its even started :(( I miss the girl I used to be Edit: I know I shouldn’t be doing this but I’m doing compulsions by going on trans forums to confirm I’m not trans, any advice to help me stop?? I really need your help :(
