Ok thank you for the response

Are identical themes like Sexuality and Trans ocd common themes?

Yeah I’m been trying my best, my mind has become fixated on it. Asking questions like this one is apart of my quest to “Just make sure.” Or “Check just to see.” I’m still new to all of this as I was just diagnosed a year ago after suffering with it for a good 7-8 years untreated.

This goes into my Sexual orientation theme and relationship ocd but I’ll have these periods where this feeling similar but doesn’t feel the same as excitement will show up during a compulsions most notably whenever I test myself to see if I’m excited or not it’s not the gronial though it’s just as concerning to me as the gronial. Any idea what this feeling could be? It always feels “forced” never natural. It’s always during this specific compulsion never any other thought. It occurs basically because of the compulsion. Which I guess feeds into another obsession of mine; “What if I actually enjoy or like it?” Now this may be a compulsion or reassurance to myself but wouldn’t I actually know if I liked it no second questions etc etc?

Yes it makes sense thank you for your imput

I’m dealing with multiple OCD themes at the moment and I’m trying to lean into the uncomfortable feeling of dissociation and the gronial but it still feels like I could be doing more to aid my recovery any tips or tricks?

Thank you for your input

Great answer thank you

This has came along with my current theme of OCD this brain fog like feeling makes me feel like I’m disconnected from my own mind and body, or that my sense of self has been completely lost. I have been extremely stressed lately and did quite a bit of compulsive behavior I’m trying my best to practice what my ocd therapist has taught me. Since the theme is relative new I don’t have many exposures sadly but I’m hoping for that to change with my next appointment. But in any case what is this sensation I’m feeling in my head?

Why does it feel like I like the thoughts or want them.

Alright thank you both very much for answering my questions and replying to my post!

Do being self conscious of that specific part of my body mean anything?

Yeah I guess it only makes since this would be a new theme of mine since it’s closely related to hocd (sexuality themed ocd) but my goodness how do I know if it’s truly the same thing or not.

Yes he’s an OCD specialist but I’m absolutely terrified to tell him about it because this theme from what I’ve seen is rare from nonexistent and I’m afraid this is real because of that.

Anyone?

Hello I’m new here, this is the first tinder I’ve ever reached out to anyone on forums for support. Recently I had a thought of “What if I’m transgender.” Which is new because the time themes I consider to be my main one is Sexual orientation and Pedophile ocd though I have had and still have others like incest, religious, contamination. This one is really eating at me I’m secretly afraid my OCD therapist won’t see it as ocd and if it’s not OCD then the worst case scenario being that I guess I’ve been lying about myself my entire life. Ive been suffering with OCD for at least 5-6 years untreated and only recently in the past couple of months gotten help for it. I’m still working on recovery but it seems like my OCD keeps attacking me with different themes. This one included; of course I’ve never had an issue with being a women in fact I’ve been fine with it my whole life the only thing about my body that I’ve had an issue with was fat; I didn’t want my breast’s getting to big as I don’t see that as my “ideal” or “perfect” body type. Of course my OCD has latched on to this and I was wondering on how to break that latch. I may also lowkey want reassurance that this isn’t really but who doesn’t you know? Basically I’m at a point where I feel like Im getting sick from the anxiety that these thoughts causes not only that but it feels like I become almost derealized or dissociated because of them.
