My anxiety is so bad right now should I go to the ER ?

Ok...first step is you stop researching...everyone with ocd including me gets nothing from research and specially on the internet just to get reassurance while it brings nothing but more anxiety...just stop for a moment and tell your self that you accept anything that would happen and ready to tey the journey of uncertainty which could be really inclusive of many things...nothing can change the strong person you are and you dont have to worry...at this situation the only thing you should try is to calm down...try breathing techniques and get out of the environment you are in...try to go out or meet a friend or family face to face and talk about other things...i hope this helps

If you get a feeling that you may hurt yourself then seek immediate health help...

Naj...are you on medicine? Tell me what are you feeling now.

Yep ^^

Hey Naj, First off, you aren't alone and things DO get better. Especially when you understand what is happening, and you seek help. Being that you're on this app it would appear you've already started your journey in learning to cope with these things. I myself have had bouts if HOCD and regularly deal ROCD. The important thing is to try to resist seeking reassurance that your thoughts aren't "real." You need to do your best to accept that NO ONE can truly know anything with one hundred percent certainty. Some questions don't have indisputable answers and they never will. Work with that thought, and from there you can begin to learn to cope with your OCD. This is how I deal with mine anyhow. As for the immediate anxiety I would do your absolute best to sit with these thoughts and come to terms with the uncertainty. However, if it's too intense right now, what I'll often do is try to surround myself with others and engage with them. I'm pulling for you. You've got this!

I’m not on medicine but I’m feeling lots of hopelessness and anxiety about this whole gender thing . I can’t stop researching and the uncertainty is getting so much worse the more I keep trying to figure out . I know that I don’t wanna be a guy but it keeps doubting that . Now I feel like I’m legit turning into a guy and I’ve been lying to myself all these years but I was happy as a the woman I was and I was happy turning into a stronger woman . I was comfortable being a woman and now I feel so manly and out of my elimate and nothing gives me relief or be able to calm down
