I have anxiety with obsessive thoughts once something pops into my head I can't seem to get it out. Often this takes the form of health anxiety. I'm constantly checking my body over and over looking for anything out of the ordinary and then I convince myself I have cancer. Or a few weeks ago I accidentally bumped a car pulling into a parking spot. Barely any damage just some scratched paint but the entire day I obsessed over this and kept returning to the car I hit to look at it. I couldn't sleep that night and every time my phone rang I worried it was the driver calling me. I convinced myself it was going to be thousands worth of damage. Finally two weeks later and no phone call and I've been able to calm down and not constantly worry about this.
A few days ago the idea of being transgender popped into my head. I think it's important to note that a family is transitioning from female to male and I often hear about them. Also the other day on youtube a video of someone talking about their transition popped up in my recommendation box and out of curiosity I clicked it and saw a little. I'm essentially one hundred percent certain I'm not. I've never had any thoughts about this and even now my thoughts aren't about wanting to be another sex but I'm worrying that I'll develop thoughts about wanting to be another sex. So last night I had a panic attack about this and was hardly able to get any sleep. I'm feeling a bit better this morning but I can't seem to shake these thoughts.
It's like my brain has to obsess and worry about everything even if it doesn't apply to me. I'm satisfied with being a woman but now I keep overanalyzing every little thing in my entire life trying to see if maybe I am transgender. But I know deep down that I'm not. I don't think I could be further from it. I dream about becoming a mother one day to be able to experience pregnancy and breastfeeding. I love my body. So why are these thoughts popping into my head?
Are these thoughts I'm experiencing normal or do only transgender individuals experience these thoughts? I've had weird and bizarre thoughts before but usally I'm able to shake them more quickly then I've been able to shake this. It just doesn't make any sense why I would even be thinking about this.
