I understand. I really do. Cause I'm in the exact same shoes as you basically. Gender identity ocd has me feeling exactly the same way lately and its terrifying. Every waking moment is a compulsive attempt to understand who I am for certain and its exhausting. I do understand. Also, where are you reading this thing about people saying they're bi to suppress gender dysphoria. I dont understand that. Its actually kind of triggering since I've identified as bi for a while in my adulthood. I dont see how that relates to gender dysphoria

I had a short period where I felt as if I was gay. I obviously am not, but my ocd was telling me that I was. I had to remind myself that even though I was having these thoughts; I didn’t mean them. Just because you have thoughts doesn’t mean they are true or that you want them. If you know you do not want to be trans, gay, or anything along those lines, just let the thoughts be there. If you don’t mean them, then just sit with them. If you know you don’t want to be trans, the thoughts are not true.

I am having gender OCD right now, not sure if you are better now but I am freaking out. I am a woman but now I feel uncomfortable in my body and I'm always uneasy. Idk if I'm having really bad self confidence issues or what but I feel terrible. I'm always on the verge of a panic attack

Hi , I’m so so sorry you’re going through this I know it’s the absolute worse but I actually over came my gender identity ocd twice now :) I know you can do it too trust me . I thought I was really a man I couldn’t even look in the mirror without images of me being a boy. I was scared for my life but I’m better now thanks to the NOCD therapist and medication. Everyone is different and it might take longer for you to see the results but it does get better and I’m living proof ! You are loved and worthy of a happy life and if you ever need to talk I am here for you ❤️

I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now

I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.

I just can’t do this shit anymore.im tired of these “arousal” sensations that feel real but when I go check my arousal to the same gender I just get anxiety. I’m tired of feeling like I can’t like girls anymore. I’m tired of my arousal getting blocked every now and then because I’m anxious. I’m tired of not knowing who I am anymore. I’m tired of having my mind putting me into an identity I never asked for. I’m tired of this life
