Oh my God I read the NOCD article on trans OCD. It said specifically that trans OCD is about not being able to handle the uncertainty and not discomfort with one's gender. I never had that discomfort before but now I do. Oh my God. It has to be that I'm trans then. And the worst part is, after typing that I felt relieved. Usually it's the opposite, I feel relieved after coming to the conclusion I'm female.

After typing that my anxiety is gone. That proves it. I'm trans. I'm officially convinced of it. It doesn't align with my past in any way, but this just doesn't fit trans OCD.

As a person with TOCD, I know that my brain always likes to play that trick of saying that it's gender dysphoria But no matter how much does it convince me, I always feel that sense of denial in my heart that it's not the person who I am and that it doesn't connect with my past and the person I dream of.

Another thing to keep in mind is, OCD can develop fake urges and feelings, while confusing the mind to believe in something I always noticed how as soon as I'm out an OCD Episode, I can feel how fake those thoughts are in a clear mind, Rather then my over anxious mind Also, researching about Gender Dysphoria and Other Transgender stuff has became a straight compulsion to me

Sadly, Researching about Gender Dysphoria and other stuff always brings me relief that I'm not experiencing it and that I'm in the clear However, it soon became my compulsion, as I would instantly research about that stuff whenever the TOCD bothered me, in the search of "relief" Which put me in the Cycle of OCD š

Researching it does the opposite for me, I do it as a compulsion and feel worse every time. I'm pretty sure I have to be trans

That also happened to me, this happens when your WAY down into the cycle of OCD

I would recommend to stop doing any compulsions, as you gotta remember that OCD is not about the thoughts but the compulsions making them so much worse

How did your so-ocd feel when it started?
For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if youāre gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?

Doubts about self expression
This obsession is new, but feels so much more grounded and itās so anxiety inducing. Since the ocd started Iāve lost my sense of self and confidence. I got soocd and it slowly turned into be doubting my identity on whether I want to identify or dress masculine or feminine. I donāt feel good in the clothes I would typically wear out before Iām constantly overanalyzing how Iām feeling , it makes me really anxious and like Iām preforming. So then I started doubting if I would rather dress masculine and itās extremely anxiety inducing and idk if itās the ocd now but it feels like thatās how I want to dress.. thatās not what I associated with at all before the ocd but now it feels like thatās what would make me feel fully confident and loose in the world, does anyone else experience this??
