How can I be sure that I'm not actually genuinely psychotic instead of trans?
>>43561056Consulting with a qualified licensed professional?
>>43561096Definitely the best course of action, but I'm too broke for that right now unfortunately.
>>43561136I mean, if thats a sincere concern, it feels like that's something you must check before you make a life changing decision
>>43561056it's possible to be bothi don't think psychosis leading somebody to falsely believe they're trans is particularly common. what things make you think you might be trans?
>>43561269>what things make you think you might be trans?Constant hyperfixation on my sexual characteristics, which developed into genuine and severe distress of them. What makes me think that I may be psychotic is the fact that all of this lead to a mental switch, and I now can't unthink of myself as anything but a woman, despite obviously not being one, both in looks and character
>>43561056Under classical psychoanalysis trannies are clinically psychotic and psychosis isnt a real diagnosis in modern psychiatry
>>43561440>What makes me think that I may be psychotic is the fact that all of this lead to a mental switch, and I now can't unthink of myself as anything but a woman, despite obviously not being one, both in looks and characterno, that's a very normal thing to happen to trans people and doesn't indicate you're psychotic. it can be a weird and uncomfortable experience, especially when you don't pass yet, but it doesn't indicate a separate mental health problem apart from the dysphoria it's highlighting.
>>43561488This happened to me at 21 and it feels like it came out of nowhere
>>43561056What's the difference
>>43561056you can't, but you have OCD tendencies>t. knower
>>43562380I don't know what's worse atp. I feel like I have a legitimate reason to worry about this, even if it's an unlikely scenario
>>43562550>I feel like I have a legitimate reason to worry about thisO *clap* C *clap* D *clap* tendencies.Not full blown your just a tranny, relax, it's gonna be okay better times will come just do something you like rn and tomorrow will be a better day
>>43562565I'm pretty much fucked either way. I also don't understand why it's all affecting me now and never before
>>43564148because it doesn't matter :)
>>43561723Did you have a long adolescent experience of dysthymia, the persistent numbing sense that your own feelings and desires were somehow out of reach or hard to decipher? That feelings were muted or that your life was occasionally more like watching a really weird and boring movie than living in a vast well of intense and visceral sensation?
>>43564564nta but yes but I'm a meta-attracted UBERhon AGP lateshit cis man fetishist so THIS IS JUST HOW LIFE IS SUPPOSED TO FEEL and everyone who doesn't feel it is even more narcissistic than I am
>>43565257Then why does everyone make that face when you say things like this?
>>43565540what face anon?
>>43564564That actually perfectly describes my life since I was 12
>>43561056you can't. just go with the flow
>>43569057I'm scared of where going with the flow will bring me
>>43569529me too. I want to get out of mr. moid's wild ride too.
Hello anonI have psychosisEstrogen helped treat it a littleNow i am in more control than i once wasIt feels bad to not have full control over your mind.It pushes you round and makes you to do things. But like a starving person coming for food the urge to transition was realRegardless of med status, it felt like I was supposed to be a girl and my maleness was mistaken.I'm crazy as fuck and talk to angels when nobody can hear me now, and I can hardly mask at all anymore. I think i only have a few years of lucidity left. I'm jappy I'm making the most of the time I have to live as the version of me I am.
>>43561056Take E and see if you feel better or worse
