No, usually it does. I’m just too scared. I’m scared of everything. I just washed my hands seven times. I feel out of control.

So sorry to hear you're feeling like this. I hope you're feeling a little better now. Just remember "you have survived 100% of your worst days so far" and this feeling WILL pass. You are not alone. We all can empathise with how you're feeling. This fear is just your brain falsely sensing danger and trying to protect you. But this is a FALSE signal and you can correct this through acknowledging the feeling and carrying on anyway. I know it is SO hard but you can do this. You are SO strong ❤️✨

I want to tag each an every one of you, but I didn’t expect so much support! Thank you for every single word, all of you! It was in the middle of the night and I felt alone and it really helped to have somewhere to vent—and to people who actually get it. I watched videos of puppies online and passed out cold. ?

Big deep breath in to the count of 4.... Hold for one... you are doing marvelous And then gentle and very slow release Now try to find 5 things you can see, feel, and smell... Another breathing exercise There is a really amazing app called “calm” they have a subsection of guided meditation for anxiety. I highly recommend this along with a hot bath and maybe even some lavender. This won’t make the fears go away necessarily but it may help calm and shift perspective. You aren’t alone in this... I know you don’t feel like it right now but you are stronger than you think... ?❤️

There are lots of different therapy techniques out there from erp to cbt. (ERP being the most effective from what I hear). And different options out there for medications as well. You will make it through this, big hugs...

Stay strong ❤️ I had a major breakdown 2 days ago but I got through it with the help of my husband. Maybe u could talk to a friend or family member who is understanding and won’t stigmatize.

I don’t know why I keep triggering myself but I think it’s real this time. I’m really fucking scared. I don’t want to be a boy but I feel like I have evidence now. Honestly this is the worst I’ve ever been, my anxiety is so bad and I really think it’s true I don’t want to be a boy but fuuuuuuck it feels like there’s no way out. I’m only 14 and I already feel like my life is over before its even started :(( I miss the girl I used to be Edit: I know I shouldn’t be doing this but I’m doing compulsions by going on trans forums to confirm I’m not trans, any advice to help me stop?? I really need your help :(

I had the biggest emotional breakdown of my life. I don't even understand why, but because of something that bothered me the slightest bit, i started yelling SOO loudly and bad at my parents: "YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME!" I threw some things, i even ran, tried to leave the house, and i ran to my room, i hit my head and i got a bump and some really bad scratches. Afterwards i felt super guilty, i feel horrible for having made my parents feel this way, and how was it possible that I hurt myself like this? I don't understand why i reacted that way, it's so, soo bad. They hugged me and we cried for a while, but i don't understand, am i crazy?

I have hold back my tears . I’m trying so hard to play it off. I can’t think about it anything without on the verge of falling apart . I have no self control over my mind . I’m scared. Is this a psychosis . I have barely eaten in days . My stomach is growling but I have no appetite. Idk what’s going on . Normally if I have a rough week I can fight it but I can’t fight it this time. My biggest fear is loosing my bf. I’m spending the day with him and all I can do it think about what’s gonna happen when I leave .
