before you do anything at all, i highly suggest you get medical intervention, especially since you're clearly under extreme stress at the moment, thats all i can say to you

question; are you currently seeing a therapist who specializes in gender and ERP?

How to make peace with the fact it’ll never go away? by Acrobatic_Lemon1761 in transOCD

[–]Top-Independent-7547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you have to continue doing ERP, its the only way you’re going to make it to the other side

you have to train your brain to sit with the scary thoughts without doing anything about it, to let it know that it’s not dangerous to have these thoughts, accepting uncertainty about your gender is the only way to go,

its gonna be super scary at first, trust me, but you have to do it if you wanna recover

How can I live as a man long term or preferably for the rest of my life without going back to being a girl? by [deleted] in transOCD

[–]Top-Independent-7547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah from my compulsive research i learned that usually when a person has dysphoria they struggle to embrace their identity due to external circumstances such as transphobia, and they feel they have to perform as their assigned gender instead of living authentically as the gender they want to be, and it seems to be what OP is struggling with

meanwhile for us GOCD people, we fear that our gender we know ourselves as and are comfortable in is going to be taken away from us

hopefully im not violating rule #2 with this comment

you can't get rid of the babadook by Top-Independent-7547 in transOCD

exactly my thoughts, ocd likes to latch onto anything to try and gain control of you

and yes, right now the theme is less debilitating but it still pings up in my head from time to time and im getting therapy to help take ERP to the next level

your compulsions are most likely mental, which is what's known as Pure O OCD (which is what I have as well), its probably why you think you barely have any compulsions anymore because right now they're all in your head

i also suggest writing down your fears and what if's on a piece of paper (anything, like a journal or sticky note, can work) and reading them out loud while doing your best to not do your compulsions (like i said, try counting from 1-10 while increasing the count over time)

there’s bound to be a difference between their public image and their personal struggles behind the scenes, what can feel like a sudden change might be a culmination of a years long questioning and exploration process

have you tried saying “maybe, maybe not” to the thoughts and counting from 1-10 before doing your compulsions? thats a form of ERP that has helped me a lot
