Yeah stay away. Not just for OCD but a lot of other things can seem worse than they are on there. I started using Reddit because of gastritis this summer and was convinced it would never get better because of what I’ve read on there. Ended up getting better. Turns out people that are stuck stay there so you only see worse case scenarios. With OCD you mostly see people that have to take medication and ERP isn’t effective. Or people that are having the hardest time even with both.

Oh it’s absolutely terrible. I feel like people here are also a bit more knowledgeable in regards to best practices and not providing reassurance or asking for it. It’s not perfect but just much much better

Reddit literally became a compulsion and made me obsess about perfectionism with my hobbies and made my doubting obsessions 10000x worse with all the cynicism and negativity. I have problems with thinking my medical cannabis is a waste and doesn't work because of all the quality complaints on the subreddit for UK medical, which is the only place to discuss the new market and different options... Even if I can feel it work, I obsessively doubt those feelings and check them until I enter an intense OCD loop whilst using it which makes it a self fulfilling prophecy. F*** reddit.

I was going to ask for advice and vent after i just had an episode but reading through everyones post on here. I can see that everyone is collectively struggling at the moment and i think we need to utilize this community for more than just sharing our sadness. Nothing is wrong with venting of course but i feel like there isnt enough positive energy here to encourage everyone to keep going. I know asking for reassure feels like a must sometimes and trust me everyone has asked for it, it was a heavy compulsion of mine. But reassure is not what you need. It will make it worse everyone please trust me. Instead of letting out mind win we must support each other, understand our struggles but also share out wins. I feel like we dont use this community enough for finding friendship among us or spreading enough happiness. OCD Is not a happy disorder but seeing that everyone here is just here either hating on someone, people being too afraid to ask for help or no one reading peoples post. This place isnt just for our negative thoughts and events to fester we need to support each other here too! Ask for help, comment on peoples post with love everyone is struggling. In this community we should help pull each other out from dark places not let them stay there. I hope everyone who is going through it right has a better night/day/afternoon. You’re loved deeply your not a monster, your not evil, your not dirty, your not a heretic your Nothing your thoughts tell you are. Peace to you🤍🤍🤍🤍

A huge thank you to everyone. I am new to the app. I’m 28 years old and only recently discovered that my thoughts are a result of my OCD. It’s been so reassuring to hear other people managing the same thoughts I’ve been having.

I told my OCD group about NOCD and one of the members brought up that this app, despite its intent to create a safe community for sharing OCD experiences could potentially be used for reassurance seeking, thus contributing to compulsions. I’ve noticed some posts about people venting and asking for reassurance and I wonder the same thing.
