You might be a girl you have to let the thoughts be and now that it is possible, but they are just thoughts. You got this!
@jnaugle / you might be a guy
Trust me the anxiety will spike while accepting the thoughts, but you will get through it. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it
Mm maybe you could point out your self the reasons why you want to be a male When you start to identify those reasons Then it will definitely help you determine whether you want to be a boy or a girl I hope you will find what will make you feel comfortable Don't force yourself to do anything just be your self and you will see and then know maybe who you are meant to be 🙂
Maybe it's acceptable to be your gender and identify with the things you like. It may not be. Maybe your story is like mine. Let's say you think about changing genders but you don't feel pressured by yourself to do so. Possibly it's pressure from a society to act a certain way that's contradictary to your authentic self. I'm just a person, not a doctor. If any of that resonates comment below and lets chat! I be always learnin’ (:
Not a doctor here but the fact you fear getting the disorder is indication this is OCD and not genuine feelings of wanting to change. The algorithms and much on social media are feeding some of these issues. It’s a place where you can find both support if you genuinely have this issue and also a place where one can become confused when otherwise they would not be. If someone’s dealing with other mental disorders then it would be easier for them to be influenced by certain things they might think would be the answer to all their problems. Take care.
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 did an erp and I was thinking over and over again “I want to be with girls I just don’t want others to find out” and then it felt like a moment of yeah that is what I want. It felt really real I can’t believe it’s not. I wasn’t anxious about it. It felt completely like me and even when I tried to deny it like it was a true realization and that I wanted it to be true. I can’t do this. What do I do!!! Erp suggestions?
I feel so sad, alone, scared and hopeless. Until two months ago there was not even the remote possibility of being anything other than heterosexual and now the idea that I could find out that I was lesbian or bisexual terrifies me to death. Everything was born from the fact that I didn't feel sexual desire towards my ex-boyfriend and I started to be afraid that it was because I was a lesbian... how can I be a lesbian or bisexual if everything was born from this? I would like to run away from myself and my head. I would really like to go back and go back to my life before. I can't take it anymore. I just want to live my life like before
