Ya I’m just typing it out and it sounds like I’m just in denial. I’ve always been super girly since I was a kid and loved Barbie dolls so I know the trans part is ocd. But the hocd part cause me tons of anxiety cause it’s like my thoughts have “shifted” to a “gay” persons thoughts or like how a boy would think about a girl and I hate it with a passion. And in my childhood I always liked boys and would have crushes on them so it doesn’t make sense. Especially when I don’t want a gf and don’t want to do anything with a girl. I hate this it makes no sense at all.

@annehatesocd I struggle with HOCD too, and I can tell you that you’re not in denial just by what you’ve said. If the thoughts distress you and you don’t want to be with girls, then this is definitely HOCD. One of the symptoms of HOCD is feeling like you’ve “turned gay.” However, the reality is that if the thoughts scare you, then your brain will constantly worry about them. That’s why they pop up more and more. It’s not that you want to think those things, it’s just that your brain focuses on them as a threat or problem that needs to be solved.

@jcplunk I’m currently in my bathroom crying cause I think I’m a lesbian. I’m so sad. I don’t want to date a girl but it feels like I have to and I’m just in denial. Nothing gives me reassurance anymore and I just cry so much.

@annehatesocd Have you tried seeing a therapist about this? I understand how it feels, but I promise that once you take the fear out of the equation it gets much easier. A counselor/therapist can help you do that.

@annehatesocd Are you in high school or college? Most colleges have free counseling services, or you could talk to one of your parents that you trust a lot to not judge you and see if they’ll help you go to counseling.

I feel different from others, I don’t feel as feminine and I feel like I’ve changed. I’m not sure why I feel this way. I also don’t think my ocd is ocd, it’s just something I told myself to feel better. I know! What if I am what if I’m not, I get it, but I don’t feel like i have a choice in the matter anymore. I have soocd and it’s eaten me alive for years. I woke up out of my sleep and got triggered and here I am. I don’t know what I feel anymore. I always wanted a boyfriend and now It seemed to change. I don’t want a girlfriend, it’s just that I don’t see anything for myself and I feel like I’m hiding. It’s hard to explain. Plus sometimes the way I move or speak makes me feel more masculine and it kills me. Im feeling so lost and alone right now. I know what I want deep down but I feel incapable of having those things because I won’t be able to have feeling. If that makes sense.

Is it normal for this theme to legit make you feel like you’re the opposite gender and that’s what you want to be and it’s very convincing? And you just keep getting images and scenarios in ur head of you transitioning and actually going through with it? This is sooo scary and i don’t feel like myself at all anymore. It’s making me not feel like a woman or myself of how I’ve always been my whole life. I’m really nervous and scared, it’s really make me feel like this is my true feelings/ self ): it’s causing me to feel weird k. My own body and feel weird about my body parts. Like my brain is literally thinking as a trans person would feel or think like wtf??? Is this normal?!? Pls someone let me know. & and it’s making me feel like I’m attracted to woman all the sudden and i keep getting flashes of that in my head. I’m in a relationship and im scared this is gonna ruin things bc the way this theme is making me feel and my body. Ugh ihml, need some advice. Has anyone experienced exactly 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? 🥲
