    First off I'd like to say I know I have some type of ocd. When I was younger I would wash my hands and open doors with my elbows cause I didn't want to get any germs. I also started to obsess about going to he'll because I thought I was a bad person. Then I started thinking I was gay for the longest time even though I always had crushes on girls. Any creeping thought of me thinking a guy was good looking would send me into a anxiety frenzy. I'd start checking if I wanted to kiss them or touch them. Recently I've had anxiety over possibly being transgender. I always liked being a guy but I've had fantasies of being a girl in sexual ways. Being dominated and used. I've watched all types of porn and they arouse me which gets me even more freaked out. I've even had tingling feelings in my body like my chest and thoughts saying that there should be boobs there and my butt should be nice and round so guys can look at me. I'm so freaked out and depressed that I might be transgender and I'm just in denial. Sorry for the long post. I need help

    Sorry to not be much help but have you considered seeing a therapist about this? A professional might be able to help you to explore this better than someone on the internet would.

    Hi, and welcome.

    So I think you've answered your own question: You've clearly got some symptoms consistent with anxiety going on, and what you describe meets some (but not all) of the criteria for OCD. So before jumping to the conclusion that you're trans, I'd strongly recommend seeing a therapist and working through the underlying anxiety issues.

    Yes, it would really help to talk to a professional for your concerns, and you might even find one who understands gender and trans issues.
