I am not a mental health professional, and I cannot provide a diagnosis or medical advice. If you have concerns about your gender identity or mental health, it's crucial to consult with a qualified mental health professional who can assess your individual situation and provide appropriate guidance and support.
Gender identity is a complex and personal aspect of a person's identity. It can take time to explore and understand one's gender identity fully. If you have been confident in your trans identity for over a year, that consistency might be an indicator of your authentic gender identity. However, only you can determine your true identity, and seeking support from a mental health professional who specializes in gender identity can be beneficial in this process.
On the other hand, it's also possible for individuals with OCD to experience what is commonly known as Transgender OCD (TOCD) or Gender Dysphoria OCD. This form of OCD can cause intrusive and distressing thoughts about one's gender identity, which may lead to doubt or anxiety about being transgender. It is important to distinguish between genuine gender identity and OCD-related thoughts.
A mental health professional can help you explore your thoughts and feelings, providing clarity and guidance to distinguish between your true gender identity and any intrusive thoughts caused by OCD.
In any case, self-diagnosis can be challenging and may not always accurately capture the complexities of one's mental health or gender identity. A professional evaluation can provide a clearer picture of your experiences and help you determine the best course of action for your well-being.
Remember that it's okay to seek help and guidance when navigating these feelings and thoughts. The support of a qualified mental health professional can be invaluable in understanding yourself better and managing any challenges that may arise.
