Seeking reassurance will keep you stuck. When these thoughts come up, say to yourself, “so what?”. You need to train your brain to not react to these thoughts. It’s scary and takes a lot of effort! But you got it!

It’s okay!! You are you, and you are alright. If you don’t want to be the opposite gender, you are not the opposite gender. You are okay.

I got triggered by this a while back when an ex-therapist suggested I was transgender after I said I don’t like wearing dresses and would prefer a more tomboy or androgynous look than my current fashion. Like how did she jump those steps? What I will say is- you are safe in your body. You do not have to be your opposite gender, and like Grace said, “You are you”. But I understand how this is triggering for you. I haven’t had OCD counseling yet but would naming off the traits you are (either written on mentally), be helpful? For example, I would say “I am smart, badass, blunt, kind, loyal, a cat mom, a night owl, a great daughter, sister, and friend, and sometimes I don’t like gender norms but I am proud of my womanhood”.

Wow, that's s big conclusion of your ex therapist. I also don't like to wear dresses and sometimes to more "masculine" things. And it has made me insecure. But my bf days it is fine and there are also women loke me, who are femine but also do "man stuff".

@freia Definitely don’t feel insecure about your ideal fashion choices. The attire that fits your personality will make you feel the most comfortable and like your boyfriend says, there are so many women who also feel that stereotypical “feminine” clothing isn’t their best match. My boyfriend actually prefers my tomboy look because I am happier and more confident. Go for what is right for you 🥰

Stay off socials. They are the worst triggers! Say to yourself, “whatever, OCD.”

Why Does It Seem So 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.
