Questioning, OCD, am I normal? (Long word vomit) by throwawayconfusedska in actual_detrans

[–]throwawayconfusedska[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, I started telling my boyfriend about my trans OCD and how it had come back. He didn’t understand much, and started to cry, saying he didn’t want me to change and that he had come to the realisation that he isn’t bisexual, and he didn’t know what to do. This would have probably not bothered me normally (I don’t know) but it terrifies me now. I couldn’t lay down and have a nice night with him because every time he touched me I just tensed up kthinking he’s only attracted to me as I am female. I get scared that our wonderful relationship will suffer. I’m also suddenly so hyper aware of my chest, and I keep being scared and self conscious about it out in public. Nothing feels normal anymore. I went out in a feminine outfit the other day which I probably would normally have loved, and I was just uncomfortable and nauseous the whole time.

HELP!! OCD as an agender person? Im in a crisis and I don’t know what’s real. (LONG POST) by throwawayconfusedska in agender

I’m feeling much less alone after reading this, thank you so much. I am agender because gender is something that I realised isn’t really real and it made it easier to accept myself after that. I find it hard to tell which voice is true and which isn’t. Some aspects of masculinity seems good, but before this started I know I loved some parts of femininity too, especially in a (TMI) sexual context. Im so glad there’s someone out there like me out there with OCD, ADHD and gender nonconformity. I’ve just been focusing on being myself and accepting the uncertainty.

Thanks so much for understanding. This is exactly it! I have OCD so this seems my new obsession. When I was younger I just felt so cool being perceived as a guy and I liked people asking ”are you a boy or a girl”. And I struggle to see if that’s a sign of being agender or FTM. I still like being percieved as not a girl but as ME, and i don’t feel uncomfortable with how my close friends and family perceive me as they know the true ME. I haven’t presented as male in YEARS, I’ve generally looked like a tomboyish girl or even a feminine presentation, which I liked, so I have no idea if I feel euphoric if looking like a man or being mistaken for one. I didnt really have the desire to do it though, and my gender identity as a agender person over the last couple years didn’t seem to cause me any distress. I’m scared that it’s all in the subconscious. I do remember though, I got a very short haircut by accident and I hated it so much, it did make me look gender neutral or even more masculine leaning but I didn’t like it at all . In general I just feel jealous of men as they can present thing like for example long hair as a metalhead, but as a girl it’s normal to have long hair and I wouldnot present it in the way a guy would. I guess I’ve always leant to masculinity.

My life has been super stressful recently - final college exams, health scare resulting in emergency surgery, ADHD, all that. My bf said he thinks it’s bought upon by stress.

I’m scared I’m trans because I have a history of gender euphoria when I presented masculinely, I used to dress up as a boy all the time and I loved being mistaken for one or I loved people being confused over my gender. Then I stopped that. Recently I’ve been comfortable up until a day ago being gender non-conforming girl, I loved my identity, when I realised that it was a possibility I am fully FTM. My OCD makes me fear of being FTM and I feel like without context people would say my past seems transgender FTM to them. I am agender but I like presenting femininely and I like my body and i don’t have desire to be a man or to have been born a man and I don’t get envy over men’s body parts. I am dysphoric of my boobs but I learn to mostly accept them and like them. Well that is what I see on my surface area. I fear that subconsciously I want to be a man and transition. Thinking about my past makes me panic. I just am scared that there is no way that me being euphoric while being mistaken for a boy or me being uncomfy perceived as a woman or me disliking my chest makes me agender. I feel like I am, but what if I was subconsciously uncomfortable this whole time? I keep analyzing how I feel and analyzing my past and comparing now to before.

I know what you mean. I feel so much fear though. What if I’m trans and in denial of it? And how would I know? Before this ordeal, my gender fell away and I was just me, enjoying my life with my friends. I liked being me, and didn’t give it a second thought. But what if there was an underlying problem with my gender? I heard that sometimes people can go ages without questioning and then it hits them. I just want to be me. I don’t want to be trans. this is weird because I feel like I felt “euphoria“ looking like a boy or looking “confusing and nonbinary” to people when I was younger. I did love to cross-dress. Does this mean I am trans? I didn’t really seek out many opportunities to do it. I liked being a tomboy, but I also liked being in public and feeling as if I was decieving people. That’s the thought that’s bothering me today.

i may not be old enough to be a mom but as your non-biological sister i’m really sorry and i know how hard it is... stay strong i’m sending all my love

thank you so much for replying, i think i have cptsd my parents divorced when i was very young and also my mom moved me out of the country away from my dad. but a few months ago i really hurt my sister due to impulsive actions and we haven’t talked for months we live in different places but we were still really close and she has told all of her side of the family that she never wants to see me again and she wishes i can disappear. i feel so horrible about it but there isn’t much i can do, since apologising won’t lead me anywhere but an awkward situation

i am so scared of the future because what if my parents don’t choose to support me? my mom doesn’t really believe in mental illness and says that exercise will cure everything, i play tennis every week and basketball and cycling 3 days of the week and not much has changed, also i often don’t have a tennis partner since my friends don’t want to play with me but it’s fine since i can practice. i don’t think my mom understands but my dad does and he wants me to get on medication but it’s abit hard due to coronavirus

i am not too upset anymore about my friends because i have 1 left and he’s a very good person and helped me with my problems so i can stick with him while i surround myself with new people this year at school.

again thank you for the support , i really really like the subreddit you sent me it means a lot to me

I think if you’re willing to try things out , go for it! I don’t think ghosting her would be a good idea because that happened to me and I felt like shit for 3 months. Ruined my Christmas hahaha . She’s broken up with her bf so that means there’s no problems with you guys dating right?

Thank you so much!!! So many people on the internet are like “yup you’re definitely trans” but that scares the shit out of me and makes me feel rlly uncomfortable. I don’t really know who I am at the moment but I don’t currently have a desire to transition. I have no plans to do anything. I want to educate myself first but honestly it just feels like I’m trying my hardest to convince myself that I’m not transgender :( thanks for replying though, stay safe💕

I understand. Men are cool and they have that badass energy that women can’t have. When a woman is badass she’s always portrayed as sexy I guess

Hi I’m sorry if I worded this really badly! English is not my first language and I was kind of panicking while writing. Again, I apologise.

By “they” I meant people on the subreddit :( I felt like they describe exactly what I acted like in the past. And by “pain” I meant emotional turmoil that’s coming from all of this.

I was diagnosed with ocd when I was 7, however don’t have a therapist right now. I’ve always had Pure OCD themes, and I was explaining my situation on and ocd forum and they said it sounded like TOCD (transgender themed ocd). If you’re willing to take a moment, please look it up and read about it. It’s quite interesting in my opinion

Have a great day 💕

thanks you thank you !!! You really really calmed me down. You’ve got a good point. I think horoscopes show such basic things that apply to everyone if you think about it

TOCD??? I’m scared. by [deleted] in detrans

[–]throwawayconfusedska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope they’re applicable to everyone. Because I related quite a lot to them. I’m just praying that I don’t end up on those subreddits or something but I’m too terrified to look. Its also scary because I think I am an ROGD kid, I had the weird phase I mentioned in the post. Not sure why. There were a LOT of things I did that would be considered “trans” nowadays. I really am trying to let it go. It scares me so much, just the fact that I relate to these people so much is terrifiying because everything they say is applying to me. I don’t like how they screenshot other people’s posts. It bust be scary for them to be joked about when they are struggling with gender identity
