    I don't think this question fits in the other categories and is kind of general so I am asking it here.

    I find some days all I can think about is my possible gender dysphoria etc. Other days it is there but not so much almost an obsession. Am I alone ?

    I’m currently questioning and I kinda feel that way. There are days where I’m so sure that I’m trans, but other days I’m so sure that I’m cis.

    That happens to me a lot. There are some days that I feel very feminine, others I think I'm simply kidding myself.

    No, you are not alone. everyone goes through this at some point (if they are questioning/trans) i am trans myself, and my dysphoria has good days and bad days. sometimes it makes me not want to leave my room, and other days it seems to be quite calm. just like many other mental illnesses, people with gender dysphoria will have good days and bad days. mental illnesses fluctuate to some degree. on some days i feel more masculine, on some days i feel more feminine, some days i just feel like, me. it is fine to be unsure sometimes.
