Listen mate. If you seriously believe you are an animal. Go get some help. And not just one counselor. Get at least 3 different therapist.

I’m amazed at how long it took to get one of these messages. 

Okay, let’s start at the beginning. 
You appear to be operating under the common and persistent misconception that otherkin do not know they are human. 
We know. We all know. 

Otherkin has to do with spiritual or psychological identity, not physical. 

Secondly, you also appear to be operating under the misapprehension that otherkin do not seek psychiatric help from qualified professionals. 
Many of us do. 

Many of us talk about our personal beliefs with our therapists and/or psychiatrists. 

So your suggestion, it’s already been done. 

Guess what. 

Otherkin is not a mental disorder. 

If you had taken two minutes to research what you’re talking about, and learned even the basics of psychology you would see that as clear as day. 

My personal beliefs regarding my soul do not have a negative effect on my quality of life and can not be considered to be “disordered” and therefore can not be considered a mental illness, a disorder, nor even a symptom of either of these things. 

And before you ask how I can know that. Because I’ve had that conversation, with therapists and psychiatrists that have asked about my belief structure when I’ve been to see them for unrelated issues. 

Your concern trolling is dated, uninformed, and unnecessary.
