| Blog Subject: | My Experiences with TOCD and Gender Identity |
Hello, I am biologically male and I felt male up until I saw a transsexual. It sent me down an anxiety spiral. I started feeling female, disconnected from my body etc. and I actually believed I had turned transgender and actually identified as being a girl (I didn't want to identify as a girl and felt happier when I identified as a boy). I then thought I was gender-fluid. This also sent me down an anxiety spiral. I never had these thoughts before. I went to a psychologist, she said I had OCD. I didnt believe this. I now felt uncomfortable with my body parts which I never felt before. Then a few days later for about 10 minutes I felt like my old male self. All problems went away but returned. I have been diagnosed by a gender psyschologist as having OCD. She said I was not transgender since they know from a very young age. I want to let everyone understand that I will be having CBT in a few weeks. I will be letting everyone know if this helps. Kind Regards, computers447 |
