@idont241 you kind of just express what I’m feeling in words . I hate it so much I feel like my brain won’t let me live ... it makes so sad because I always knew the type of woman I wanted to be but now it’s like this whole thing made me confused. Every time I think it’s gonna go away it doesn’t . It literally the first that pops up when I wake up and the last thing when I go to bed and everything in between. I constantly battle with my head and I repeat to myself that I’m a girl every second of the day and it stil tells me I’m not and it’s scary and annoying
Yep. Like I don’t deserve to be a woman.. but i dont want to be a man either?
Yeah like I don’t want to be a man and I know that won’t make me happy but every time I do the usual things that I do like my brain questions if I really like it . It’s annoying. I see other women and my brain is like that not you anymore . You can’t be that way . You can’t be a real woman and it’s making me sad
!!!!!!!!! Yes
Yes, but I love being a eoman but my ocd thoughts feel like a weird male
But remember that you are NOT your thoughts
@naj YES. Every women I see I have to question “how did it feel being a woman? How did it feel knowing for sure you are a woman? Why like being a woman?” But I soooo don’t want to be a man. I like being a woman. And I love living my life as such. I just get super triggered by seeing other women, and when people use my correct pronouns and words (like I speak Spanish, so words like relajada, and in male it’s relajado. Relaxed) so I always have to analyze the whole sentence In my head to see if one of those words have been used. And I do it over and over again until I know. It’s awful. It’s like I am starting to feel discomfort in my body? I’ve always been the girliest of my sisters. And i can imagine plenty of times I’ve said how much I love being a woman. But now when someone used words like woman and girl in another format I get triggered. It’s horrible. It’s more annoying
Yes to all of that! I’m struggling with trans ocd which triggers my sexual orientation ocd but Ughh I just wanna be female again!
I find that this theme is easier to talk about to therapist. Mine hasn’t grown so much because I am trying to accept the thoughts with sarcasm. I have my next therapist appointment on Monday, and I am going to totally talk about this
I feel so unworthy of myself
Why is soocd so confusing?? Anyone else’s OCD just bring up past experiences and make you believe that it could mean you’re the opposite sexual orientation you are? I identify as a straight female but in the past I had thoughts I could have been bi so it made me think I was even though I’ve never actually liked a girl? Idk. I’m so confused. I’m not attracted to women, I’ve always been super boy crazy. I just feel super alone in this regardless of all the similar experiences other people go through. I can’t watch tv, work is really hard because I have to talk to other women, certain clothes trigger me, hanging out with friends is hard, being lovey to my boyfriend is hard, even looking at myself is hard. I don’t feel like me. I’m just so confused and so lost. My OCD really sparked back in October and since it’s just gotten progressively worse. I have therapy today, and I’m looking forward to it. Anxiety and OCD is so hard. It effects me of every moment of every day, in everything I do. Im just so tired. Anyone have exposures that may help with this??
Why am I suddenly now wondering if I am transgender? Like I look in the mirror and do not feel pretty at all anymore and when I talk I feel like I worry about sounding masculine, as well as if people think I look masculine, etc. I am a straight woman and have been battling with intrusive thoughts about my sexuality for some time now, and I am now suddenly questioning my gender identity too. Has anyone else with SOOCD experienced this, where you develop TOCD as a result of endless rumination cycles surrounding your SOOCD? Like I look into the future and know that I want to be a wife and mother and I want to have a husband and kids, but my OCD is telling me that I will be and act like a man and that will never happen. This is literally 10000x more distressing to me than my SOOCD was because I have honestly never understood the concept of being transgender but now I fear that that is who I am and who I have to be. Please help I cannot be the only one suddenly feeling like this. I want to feel confident and pretty and feminine again and I feel like I am never going to be able to. How do I know that this isn’t gender dysphoria/that I really want to become a man
Is it possible to recover from homosexual OCD? All of sudden it seems like I am attracted by women. This gives me an enormous sense of sadness, disgusting and terrible feelings. At the same time, it seems like I could actually be lesbian for real and I should accept myself for who I am. However, I don’t like the fact that rather than a pleasure, it’s an obsession and the idea of being lesbian makes me feel sick and depressed. It’s been like this for three months now. Prior to this I had suffered with eating disorders and memory OCD ( I was obsessed with my memory) .. I am seriously concerned that all this will impact my intimacy life and I won’t be able to have a stable relationship. I feel hopeless and discouraged.
