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 feel awful that I keep coming on here whenever I’m down bad but oh my gosh OCD is the most painful shit that I have EVER experienced in my life and I have a physical chronic illness…. I hate to say it but I hate living right now it’s too painful… im crying as I type to the point where my stomach is hurting, I have pretty severe ocd I do have generalized anxiety and idk if that is connected with ocd but because of that I have most of the subtypes REAL EVENT OCD,POCD,ZOCD,ROCD,SOCD HARM OCD, you name it and I got it!!! a lot of also why I have have those theme is trauma growing up and involving those things^ as of right now i’m 25 and a women with the most loving boyfriend in the entire world before my ocd hit me I NEVER questioned my love and care and attraction with the love of my life I always knew I was going to marry and be with this person the rest of my life! Now with ocd it confuses me soooo much and now I think I’m gay and didn’t realize or indenial and listen I get it “don’t look for reassurance!” “It’s not the thing ocd is attacking that is the problem ocd is the actual problem!” Here’s the thing with that if I’m in a relationship and I’m gay that would mean I would have to leave that said relationship and to say that “oh yeah that stuff happens and you’ll move on” is absolutely devastating to me this is THE LOVE OF MY LIFE and your telling me that iv been lying to myself this whole time or that I didn’t realize?!?!? And that sexuality can change (even though some say it can’t google says otherwise and some people have said it can’t idek anymore) and all this other BULLSHIT I can’t take it WHY?!?! why does this have to happen why can’t I just be with my love the rest of my life?!? and yes before anyone says anything I have been attracted to girls more so when I was younger watching lesbian porn liking the body’s and fantazing them sexually it stopped when I got older but I still don’t get disgusted with women who are pretty it just makes me uncomfortable because I’m with the love of my life and before I remember talking to my partner and discussing certain childhood things I experienced and we discussed that we both could be a little bi and for certain I’m (demi sexual so I don’t even really care about looks) and I truly didn’t care!! NOW I do care even with being bi because again I don’t like thinking about anyone else but my partner but I do also know my parents are homophobic and I do think about if I am gay they wouldn’t be okay with that and I also dont want to deal with that so now I sound like in indenial right?!???? I didn’t even care about labels before my ocd it just didn’t matter but now it’s effected my sex life and it’s hard for me to enjoy sex with being so confused I’m so confused I googled everything can you still have sexual fantasies with same gender but still be straight? Can you fantasize about same gender or imagine marrying them all of it !!! And non of that disgusts me it just makes me uncomfortable AGIAN only bc I just love the partner I’m with right now!!! I’m so fucking confused do I have to leave my partner and accept that I’m gay is that going to happen in the future if I get better with ocd and find out it’s been true all along?!???

I was scrolling on here and now I’m having a panic attack. Someone posted resources and one of them was a NOCD article and I thought that was so great. I clicked on it because I like learning about this disorder and I love NOCD’s resources. But I read that one of the compulsions for pocd is watching cp? I thought that wasn’t a thing with POCD. I literally cannot breathe because I feel like this thing is now possible and I cant calm down. That was the first time I’ve ever seen that stated as a compulsion. I feel like I’m dying. What triggered my spiral in the first place was months ago someone contacted me and told me they watched it but claimed OCD and I felt absolutely horrified. I deleted my account and removed that person entirely. I am freaking out so bad I really can’t seem to breathe right now

Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.
