GIRL SAME WITH HOCD!!!!
I hate this I don't even know my gender anymore like, literally who am I? I feel like I've completely lost the old me and been replaced, that girl is gone. Did she ever exist?
@Kaylaaaa I feel the same with both hocd and tocd
@Nour04 So sorry you have to experience it too. I should be scared of it but I'm not
Ahhh same! I'm sorry you're going through this man
You too! I should be terrified but I'm just so calm
@Kaylaaaa It's because sometimes your anxiety / disgusted response wears off after so much exposure to one topic
@guesswhosback Interesting
I mean I guess calm is good. I just feel like i shouldn't be. Like I must want to be trans and I don't even care about it, I should be panicking about the fact I'm not panicking
@Kaylaaaa Calm is a good response! Getting anxious about not being anxious is called a back door spike and is common with ocd so please try and tolerate the uncertainty
Maybe it does mean you’re trans, maybe it doesn’t! So glad that you’re feeling less anxiety. Try to focus on other things for a while while you’re still recovering from this particular OCD theme; you’ll have plenty of time to think about gender identity in a healthy, non-compulsive way later!
I've been really overwhelmed with thoughts of detransitioning even though I don't want to like thinking I'm not a boy. It's been making my anxiety go up like crazy but I've never had this problem this much before, and I've always felt so proud of who I was and stuff but I don't know why this is coming up all of a sudden and I'm scared. I don't want to detransition but these thoughts won't go away. I often have feminine interests and have been trying to get into a better mindset and I feel like those things are making me feel more feminine and I don't want to feel that way.
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?
I’m struggling badly. I did something about a month ago which I now realize was probably testing, but what scares me is I feel like I liked it, which is horrifying. What’s even worse though, is after I did it, I was able to brush it off quickly and not be too bothered by it, as I was still very anxious on other thoughts I was experiencing. Now those thoughts are meaningless and THIS is what’s causing tremendous anxiety, but the fact that I didn’t feel anxiety about it after I did it seals the deal for me. I mean, did feel anxious and guilty after I did it, but I was able to dismiss it somewhat quickly, and I remember that memory came up a couple of times within the month after I did it but like I said, it hasn’t too hard to dismiss it. I really feel like it’s denial. The fact that I wasn’t that anxious about it and tried to justify it/dismiss it HAS to mean it’s been denial all this time, there just no way this is OCD :( Right now I’m anxious about the fact that I might’ve liked it AND the fact that I wasn’t anxious about it for a while. It is really just a torment to ruminate on, and I would never do that thing again, but the fact that I did it and felt like I liked it is beyond terrifying. I feel like I have proof now, I’m trying to figure out why I did it and what it meant, and why I wasn’t super anxious the following weeks after, I mean it WAS uncomfortable to think back on, but I feel like the fact I wasn’t super anxious about it means I was in denial or repressing my true self. I am so so scared. I’ve been worried about this for the past week and a half :( (This is all centered on the same theme btw.)
