If you are worried about your parents seeing the paper, ask the doctor to speak with you privately and tell them the truth. Lying about your health will only hurt you in the long run! In many cases, the doctor may even give you the opportunity to have alone time with them and kick your parents out of the room so you feel more comfortable talking about certain things!

You don’t have to put it on the paper. I would wait to bring it up when you feel comfortable with it. Also, it might be easier to bring it up with a therapist if you have one, as they usually work through things like that rather than the doctor. Having a therapist who is familiar with the LGBT community also helps (I have one who is fantastic!), but I know that could be hard to get one if you’re under your parents still. Just do what you’re comfortable with. The doctor doesn’t have to say anything to your parents unless they think you’re at risk of hurting yourself or others.

Sorry I have not had a similar experience. But wouldn’t a doctors office be a nice neutral safe place for your parents to learn about you if it come to that .

Even as a minor, you can share personal things with your doctor without them telling your parents. It happens a lot when dealing with the topic of sexual activity and sexuality

First of all feeling non-binary and liking girls as a girl is not the same as wanting to be the opposite sex, right? So I don‘t see that question would be correctly answered yes. Second, I understand completely that you don‘t want your first „coming out“ in a doctors office. You sexuality and gender is not pathological! So I don‘t see you‘d be lying in any way. I wish you can talk with close friends or family in a warmly atmosphere.

Sometimes I think " do I like kids?" "Would i get aroused if I saw content with kids?""What if I'm a pedo and cant accept it?" "What if I'm ok with these thoughts?" "What if I'm not distressed enough " "What if I enjoy these thoughts?" , i avoid kids as much as i can, i cant look at them bc I'm scared I'm gonna have some groin like response. I keep testing if I'd get turned on or if I'd have some groinal response to sexual scenarios with kids. Sometimes I think that if I took my life this would be over and i wouldn't have to think about this and i wish i doubted something else instead of things like this. I had similar situations just with different topics such as if i loved or found sexually appealing a guy while in a relationship and i kept asking myself those questions for months and i avoided going to school for weeks and when I went I'd cry and have anxiety attacks. I had it with past actions i obessed over and felt the need to exploit every detail and be honest because otherwise i was being a fraud. I had it for sexual things that happened when i was a child. Im not diagnosed with ocd but should i tell this to my local counselor? Can someone help? Give me advice or tell me anything?

I cant do anything anymore without my brain dregdging up proof from my past that I was actually trans and didn't know it, and it all seems so plausible. like I said in my last post its unearthing memories that I didn't even know I have. ik this is just ocd tricking me but I feel like I need to review every moment thoroughly bc I have questioned my gender in the past but always concluded that'd I'd happier as a girl (which is true). everything feels so real and it feels like I am just super in denial. also, how do I tell people about this? I made the mistake of confessing to a teacher on a note and only a couple friends of mine understand the thoughts I get, but I don't tell them everything. however its very hard for me to do basic responsibilities like school work and I always end up overwhelmed, so I'm thinking I may need accomdations. I need to get in touch with my counselor but i'm unsure how to explain all of this to her, being that I don't have a diagnosis....also I feel like I can't talk about this with the majority of my friends because gender ocd is rare to have (increasing my doubts) and, at least school-wise, i'm in very accepting environment for lgbtq and I'm afraid they're just gonna tell me to accept myself. I'm scared of doing erp for this because what if I like it (also cant afford therapy). ive also felt very apprehensive around some of my trans friends and classmates because my brain is going crazy asking "what if you're like them?" and I feel so bad and transphobic for these thoughts. i'm genuinely so tired. one of my closest friends died last year, but my father pointed out that my recent mood has been even worse than it was during that time. i tend to bottle up my emotions a lot, so everyone's just telling me to "let it go" and tell people, but if I do that I feel like i'll end up confessing. i'm so tired and lost.

I just recently kind of was getting over my Constant spiral of “am I a lesbian or bi?”(im a lesbian) and now I’ve been tackled by “am I trans” even tho I’ve never questioned my gender ever, I love being a woman, and I never thought I’d ever be dealing with this since I’ve always been so sure of being a woman, anybody else?
