Stop going on reddit. Yes that's certainly your ocd. Maybe it's not and i guess that's what acceptance is. But i've noticed that reddit is going to increase my catastrophic thinking bc ppl over there are not aware of ocd and anxiety. I feel les anxious by not going over there and i can say that even if i'm trans i would not be ok with how reddit ppl treat ocd sufferers.

I’m pretty sure it’s a compulsion because if I was actually trans I wouldn’t be on this app, I would be on that subreddit. I’m avoiding it right now but my hands are aching to search it again. The posts get stuck in my head and ocd holds them against me. I’ve calmed down now but it did make me cry a bit

I never ever felt nauseous at the sight of my own boobs but now I do. Do I keep wanting to go back to that subreddit because it’s relatable? I didn’t even know it existed before this shit. At the start of my obsession my brain always said stuff like “do this or you’re trans” like my brain would conjure up some weird shit like “step on that leaf or you’re trans” or “jump over that like with both feet or you’re trans” and I’d have to do it. But I’m still doubting it so much. I’m so scared

But it’s like I’m beginning to realize how different my symptoms are to ocd sufferers. I think this is the ocd tricking me? Or something?

You wouldn’t be so scared about being trans if you actually legitimately wanted to be trans

True, but some of the posts said stuff like “I’m too scared to admit I’m trans that’s why I’m in denial” and shit like that. I should stop going on that subreddit and freaking myself out lol

I just recently developed this OCD, I have suffered with so many types, harming myself & others, HOCD, scares about dying, now this. I feel you. I have been a girl my entire life in and out. I saw an article online about transgenders and I questioned it and now my OCD kicked in and is in full force. I have been trying to combat it but it certainly just does not work. I am glad I found someone that also has this so it makes me feel less like a lunatic. It’s your mind, thoughts are not reality. That’s what I have to keep telling myself through these various spouts of OCD. It sucks!

I’m sobbing right now. I’m convinced that I’ve been in denial all along and that it’s all real. It has to be now. I don’t wanna be a boy but I feel like there’s no way I’m not one if I’m doing these things. There’s no way I’m a cis girl if I’m doing these things. I’m so fucking done with life I feel absolutely trapped. I don’t wanna be a man but fuuuuuuuuck I think it’s real now I’m so fcking done with living. I really feel like I’ve been using OCD as an excuse/a cover up and I’m scared it’s all a facade. There’s no way it’s not real now I’m literally so fcking scared I want it all to stop. If anyone has advice please send some my way. I need it badly

2 nights ago I saw something on my phone and it has now spiraled into me scared of being trans or being gay because i don’t want to be… now i have a huge fear of what if i am gay and am attracted to woman or what if im not comfortable in my body and want to turn into a man. It’s freaking me out - my ocd always makes me question my character! Has anyone experienced this 😩

I wouldn’t really say I have SO-OCD, but it manifests in some areas of my TOCD. Like if I see a woman for example my thoughts will go “what if I like her but as a man?” like my thoughts say I’m a straight man instead of a straight woman. And it’s really bothering me. If I see an attractive woman my brain will re-wire and imagine myself as a man looking at an attraction woman and it gets super uncomfortable that I have to like shake my head and say “no no no no no” multiple times to get the thought out. I know that counts as a compulsion but it’s hard to not do it because it’s so triggering. Now I don’t mind if I like women, however I’m really scared that I’m actually a straight man who likes women (or at least a bisexual man, considering I like men) and I hate it because I don’t want to be a man. Like I’ll think of my desired relationship as a woman dating a man but my OCD will switch it up to me being the man dating the woman, which is the opposite of what I want. I don’t want to be a man at all and I don’t want to date a woman, both of those are the opposite of my desires, but I’m still so scared. I’ll accept myself if I actually like women and am a bisexual woman, however I heard that being bisexual can mean being trans which scares me (for the record it was said in reddit by a sub which is mainly focused on a pseudoscientific phenomenon, that is still believed by the members to be true, so it’s definitely not a trustworthy statement, but my OCD will use anything to work against me) Does anyone here relate a little? 🥲
