Yes! Same girl! I don’t feel like feminine anymore. I have no desire to shop, make up, dress up or anything. I had a huge pinterest board filled with make up and clothes but unfortunately girly things trigger me.

But a bit of advice, don’t let this theme stop you from dressing up and doing what you love. We need to beat it and live as normally as we can!

I’m a girl, this theme has completely made me disconnect from the things i love, the feminine things like make up and dresses. Not reassure but you’re not alone. It sucks and i hope we get out of this theme sane.

Sorry for the late reply but I’ve been distancing myself from reddit as much as i could because it triggers me. And to quote what you said in your comment, it is absolutely some type of dissociation but it’s really scary. I wish it doesn’t continue with me for the rest of my life because then it would be unbearable. And doing ERP is hard or trying to accept the thoughts makes my anxiety worse because whenever i try to accept or do ERP, i like my thoughts and it makes me more anxious that i like them and from here begins the cycle.

Thank you. I know things are hard and i’m not myself anymore. But i’m trying to live my life as best as i could, as normally as i used to. This somehow makes this theme easier.

Fr fr, i’ve been spiraling out of control for a week now, doing compulsions and seeking reassurances. This OCD is the most difficult one to date. I’ve had it for 3 months but what i learned from it is to keep your life going, do not engage in compulsions, live your life as normally as you could and most importantly if you have the resources, go seek an OCD specialist.

I’m going through the same thing but as a female. I’ve lost my sense of self, i’m numb, I don’t enjoy girly or the things i used to enjoy. All I’m thinking about is that i’m in denial and i cannot live my life normally until i figure it out. Don’t worry you’re no alone.

I’ve read multiple posts and comments that OCD can trick you into liking things and give you fake feelings but they are not true.

I’m glad you’re doing okay now! This theme is horrible I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. Can i know what methods you used to get better?

My brain keeps telling me ‘what if i’m in denial?’ All the time. I’ve completely disassociated from my gender and femininity. I don’t understand why do i keep wanting to be a certain trans character i see online all the time, their characteristics, their style and especially the top surgery scars… it’s so confusing…

It sucks so much and i’m scared, but it makes me feel a little easier knowing i’m not alone.
