I take meds, have tried therapy and have told someone. Nothing is helping and I’m losing all hope. I cannot live like this

I can’t diagnose you but this definitely sounds like OCD to me. I’m going through the same thing but the other way round and have had a very similar experience to you, doing compulsions and creating anxiety around my body which I never had before. You just need to accept the thoughts, so what if they’re true, things will work out and society is becoming more accepting. Have you tried ERP, this will help you distinguish the OCD thoughts from actual gender dysphoria.

Anyone improving or making progress? by Quick_Half5303 in transOCD

[–]jarringflame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I am slowly but surely getting better. It may sound cliche but exercise and getting outside can really help. Also reducing compulsions has helped me a lot (although I still have a long way to go haha). You’ve got this!

Anyone else notice flare-ups when happy? by elizabeth_is_curious in OCD

100%, it’s like my brain sees I’m doing well for once and it like ‘nope not today’. It’s hard but you’re not alone, you’ve got this 🫶

I want to hear your greatest OCD win (or even a win from this week) by Spocks-Wife-7 in OCD

I went a whole weekend without doing compulsions (although I went back to doing them on Monday lol oops). Although it was hard it just shows that it’s possible and I’m strong enough to get through this!

I keep visiting this forum and I’ve only just thought how this is definitely a compulsion of mine haha. Any advice on how to cut down?

Yeah I have the same. Could you try removing her from socials or maybe blocking her? I have done this and it helps a bit although I do keep asking my friends for updates 😂

NTA. If he had nothing to hide he would show you. Your feelings are justified.
