New subtype for me?
I had the fleeting thought of what it would be like to be a woman, and now I'm overthinking about being possibly transgender.

Been there myself, way more than a fleeting thought at times. Epr techniques work for this as well

I haven't been able to talk to my therapist for months. She's been heavily booked. So I'm kinda on my own with this theme

@OCDwontownme This and soocd and other "taboo" themes seem to freak us out more than others. But, the same ERP tools work. Accept uncertainty. Just let it there, maybe I do, maybe I don't. I was obsessed I was gay, and am past that now by just allowing it for some time. That doesn't mean agreeing with it, just allow it. It'll pass. Trust the tools

@Confused Are you familiar with ERP, exposure, response, prevention at all?

@Someone99 I aspire to be like you. I struggled with POCD for a while but was able to get over that and with health ocd. However soocd is the one that has been stuck for years!

@TBdiz89 Thank you for the kind words. It's a daily walk for all of us. So many on here are hot hard with soocd because it seems to be tied to our hormones, desires, drive, etc. For me it was difficult but it did ease up as I remained consistent with the tools. Didn't feel right for a little while but I thought I have nothing to lose, so here goes ... And it helped. Trust the tools you used with the other themes. One may not always work, or ever work, so alternating helped me, and maybe you can even discover a new tool that may help you through this one?

Dealing with this as well, it definitely is freaking me out. Come after a thought during a soocd panic attack which lead me to think what if I turn trans. I have never thought this is my life or never felt different. I got ocd this year and started with harm/soocd/now I guess the new taboo theme tocd. It’s crazy how it ties in together but damn can’t believe my thoughts put me in such a hole. I haven’t started erp just yet, but open to ideas how to get myself back to knowing I’ll be ok and I can conquer this.

hey there, i totally get how those intrusive thoughts can send you down a spiraling overthinking path, especially with something as personal as gender identity. i've got my own set of obsessions from pure o, so i know how tough it can be to shake off those thoughts. just remember, you're not alone in this, and i'm here to listen if you need to vent or talk it out. 🌟 speaking of which, my therapist mentioned this free AI OCD therapy tool called "unstuck" - www.AIOCDtool.com - and it might be a good fit for what you're going through. since your thoughts are making you question your identity, this tool could help you work through the anxiety without getting stuck in a loop. it's like having an OCD therapist in your pocket, guiding you through steps to manage those overwhelming feelings. i was skeptical about apps too, but this one's been a game-changer for me, and i just wanna share that with you. hit me up if you've got questions, okay? no pressure at all, just a fellow OCD fighter passing on something that's helped. ✌️

SOOCD
This post will be for people 18+ and it is a topic on sexual attraction, if you are comfortable you can read but it’s completely up to you. I know I’m not the only woman that watches lesbian love for pleasure as we are all humans and our hormones go up. I’ve been watching lesbian love for years now (about 3 years) and in most of that time, not once did I question my sexuality until someone asked me a question that triggered my overthinking. Today after watching that, I was asking myself questions like what it would feel like to do this with a woman? How would it feel like to be with one? And because these thoughts came to my mind I freaked out because I keep thinking that I like females but never in my life and even till this day have I ever fallen in love with a women or even thought about marrying a women one day. I always want to have a husband one day and at least have a kid or two. But lately all this questioning has me confused to the point where I question if I’m bi or lesbian and if I even have SOOCD or if it’s generally just me tryna figure out my sexuality or if I’m just in denial. I am also talking to a man romantically and whenever I’m around him I feel happy and I’m always excited to talk to him and he also makes my heart flutter and my body burn for him. But because of these recent thoughts I’ve been having, it just confuses me and adds some stress. Any tips for how I can go about this?

Please help me :(
Why is my brain telling me that I wouldn’t mind being a p, that I could live with it and be fine with it, and I am really a p because my situation is too unique…. I didn’t agree with it but I allowed myself to think about this, and it just made me feel like I did agree to it. I’m worried that I’m lying to myself, I really don’t want to turn to into this person, my WHOLE LIFE i was attracted to older people and never ever felt this way until now (false attraction) it makes me so convinced and it puts me in a dark space. It’s hard to think right now.
