Sexual identity obsession

I am so sorry if I accidently put this in your mind, but I don't know why, but this fills me with alot of anxiety. I have no problem with being gay, bi, or straight, and I know there are people out there who have obessessoin about that, but what is intresting is that I am not afraid of being gay,bi, or straight, but I fear being a transexual. I get the doubts in my mind that play with my thoughts such as am I really a guy, do I want to be a girl. And what is intresting is that logically there is no evidence that would point to me wanting to be a girl, but the doubts play at me. Okay, one time I played with my mom's nail polish, but I was like 9 lol, but thats it and yet my thoughts plague me with this idea. I also read that those who are transexual just know, but it is such a weird thought. Do you think it could be OCD or it could be me trying to find myself? I feel so indiffernt because I am thinking about this.

I'm certainly not diagnosing you but it sounds like OCD or Pure O. If it's bothering you or interfering with life at any point I'd talk to a doctor about it :)

I know it's alarming at times to think about that stuff but surprisingly, a lot of people have OCD, I do and quite a few others on the forum as well. I'm sure if you had any questions and needed answers about ways to seek help for it someone would gladly point you in the right direction.

Just from reading your post, I also agree that it's purely the OCD. OCD makes a lot of people have obsessive thoughts about a lot of different things & you're probably not the only one whose had these kinds of thoughts because of it. I hope you can get some help for yourself :)
