@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

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

@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

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

Sorry if this is a bit of an odd post, but I’m wondering if there are any girls out there that have specifically struggled with shame around watching porn? A lot of my real-event ocd stems from watching that kind of content in the past, and for some reason it feels particularly taboo as a woman. As a young teen, I saw some genuinely disturbing things, and I think a lot of that was to do with having unrestricted access to the internet. However, despite lots of people telling me “that’s normal teen curiosity” it just never feels like it applies to me, and that I’m genuinely just a sexual deviant. I think because that kind of content is so graphic and overstimulating it’s really stuck in my brain, and I just wish I could turn back the clock and switch off the computer. I’ve recently been struggling with doing typical ‘girly’ stuff because I feel tainted and gross, and I just want to get back to feeling myself again.

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.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?
