If you ever wanna chat, that would be great, it can get really lonely. ☺️
Thank you you are so kind. Also thank you for supporting everyone on the chat you’re kindness is not going unpaid. I would appreciate to talk to someone about it
@valentina01 Aw of course, anytime just tag me in something or whatever (idrk how to communicate w anyone specifically on this app). I know how painful and relentless this theme is and honestly it really takes a big part out of your identity and you can feel really lost. Just know that you are certainly not alone and that we are gonna get through this ❤️
@tylee161 Can we text through other apps? Snap insta? If you don’t feel comfortable with that that is totally fine no pressure on my end 😁
Hey I’m dealing with what you have and it’s scary because I do love being a girl. It made me question everything about my myself wether I was acting masculine more than feminine. And sometimes I’d convince myself that my voice is deeper than usual. I would have annoying thoughts about a a different gentilla and it’s made me so uncomfortable. Till this day I still have thoughts about being transgender. But i tell myself it could be true and it’s also couldn’t. If you need anyone to talk to I’m always here.
I know exactly what your talking about, it’s honestly horrible. I don’t know whether I’m in denial sometimes even though I know I don’t want to be a boy.
I’ve also recently just started going through this even though I haven’t ever questioned it until one random thought a few weeks ago. I guess it helps to know we’re not alone in this. I find myself thinking ‘I wish I could just be happy with being a girl again’ and then im like..I don’t want to be a boy what am I thinking. Mine stemmed from hocd, which pops up every now and then too, and it just reminds me that it is really just ocd and we can get through it :)
I am so sorry that this new theme has popped up, I’m sure your aware of how awful it is. I’m not trying to give you reassurance here but I read somewhere online that if you wish to go back to how you felt before these thoughts it is very likely you are not trans. But I know your thoughts will tell you otherwise. If you ever need to chat, I’m always here bc i to am struggling with this theme ❤️
I have think I have trans ocd and it is relentless. Just know that your not alone! I’ve always loved being a girl and then one day after watching a docu on a trans male, the thought popped in my head. A little mantra I tell myself to get calm and be mindful is “maybe yes, maybe no” and literally say that to every single thought in your head. I know they sounds so scary but I found that it made a difference for me xx
I find it really hard to accept the uncertainty of the thoughts. I mean i used to have HOCD and accepting the possiblility that i might be gay was really stressing, but i manage to control it and now i don't have uncertainty with that. I have a boyfriend now but i think i would be with a girl too. The problem is with this other obsesion, fear about being Trans, TOCD? I find it a lot more difficult to accept the uncertainty. Cause it's like okay it's not my sexuality, it's my identity, i have to change who i am, my gender? And not being certain about that scares me a lot. Im really tired of asking myself so do you identify as a man or a woman? It's hard to stop rumiaiting cause it's all in my head. My question is how do you accept the uncertainty of not knowing and being okay with it? Do you have any tips?
Does anyone here experience transgender OCD? It’s been my main theme for 2 years and with that I get HOCD (worrying that I’m a gay man). I identify as a bisexual woman and these thoughts have been so distressing to me. They feel so real. I’d really love to connect with people who are going through this.
Do any other trans people with OCD get intrusive thoughts about faking being trans or misgendering them? On a pretty much daily basis I go through this cycle of either accidentally misgendering myself or getting the thought of “you’ve been lying for the past 10 years and you’re actually not trans” and it always sends me into a spiral. My dysphoria tends to fluctuate and it gets worse when my dysphoria is lower than normal. Logically I know fluctuation is a thing that most trans people experience at some point but I still ruminate over it. Any other trans folks here experience something similar? If so, do you have tips to break that pattern of thought?
