OCD is really good at making you feel like there's danger every second of your life lol...it's like we are trapped in a dramatic movie but none of the things that are "supposed to happen" actually happen ...it's all just OCD being a big ol bully

I was always bullied when I was young because I wasn’t “manly” enough so I never really fit in. Now my thoughts are targeting my feminine side telling me to be trans ?

have you always felt that u want to be a woman or is your ocd telling you that you should be a woman?

I don’t “want” to be. It’s more of a I “should” be. But I like everything about myself so it makes no sense

And these thoughts went away before for a while

others opinions are not what make you who you are. while outside constructive comments about you can be helpful to bettering yourself, deep down the only person that determines who you are is you, period. remind yourself that. you don't have to be "manly" to be a male. "manly" is a composition of stereotypes that don't apply to everyone. it doesn't matter how many or little apply to you, you are a man if you are happy in your body.

I definitely understand that but my thoughts keep disagreeing with it telling me I shouldn’t be a guy and it’s so annoying because it’s so convincing even tho I do like myself and don’t want to change at least my physical qualities.

maybe you could read some articles with interviews of transgender people. these people tell their story of how they knew they were trans and why they wanted to switch genders. because it is only your ocd convincing you that you are transgender you can examine the fact that you don't relate to the stories of these people and you can determine that you indeed are happy in your body? slightly complicated but all i can think of to help

Well I’m nervous to look at interviews and I’ve heard people’s stories and as far as I can remember, I didn’t/don’t feel what they were feeling. One girl I knew said everyday she’d look in the mirror and start balling her eyes out cuz she couldn’t stand her body or the way she looked. I like the way I look tho.

oh i'm sorry i thought maybe that would help. i personally don't deal with this form of ocd so i don't really have any experience to help you off of. have you seen a therapist or counselor to talk to about this?

Its a hard thing but i think you need to train your mental frame.So you just take what comment from others that is useful to you

I don't know what's real. I don't know who I am, I don't know if everything I believe is made up, all my emotions, my memories..it feels fake, I'm stressed the fuck out because I can't even tell if my past is real

Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. They’re still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesn’t help but it’s been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I don’t want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like “What if?” and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I can’t even look in the mirror because I get scared that I won’t like what I see. I’ve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I don’t want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I don’t.. It’s just a lot.

I went to bed one night in November, and I can't quite say what happened, but I believed that I had a "memory" from childhood. I won't discuss what, but I had "remembered" doing something sickeningly awful. This thing came to me almost as clear as a real memory. I remember thinking something along the lines of 'How could I forget doing something like that?' followed by a feeling of complete horror and terror. I have moments of "clarity" where I can't believe that I'm questioning doing this thing, and it appears obvious that it's false. But now, I'm more than often believing that I did. I am spending 24/7 fighting my head, and it's taking me to dark places. I know this is the worst thing to do, but you don't understand, if this is real then I am a monster and I can't just adopt the 'maybe I did, maybe I didn't approach'. I just can't. I have to know. I'm so scared. My entire life is on the line. I don't have anyone to talk to about this. Literally no one. I feel like I'm insane, like I'm a monster, like I'm hiding my true identity from everyone I love. Does this sound like False Memory? Or am I in denial, trying to convince myself this didn't happen? Why does it feel so real? And why do I have moments of clarity? I also had my first nightmare about it last night. Please someone help me.
