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.

Just wanted to give some hope to those who are having ocd spikes, spirals and worries. This past year I have regained my life back. I went from beginning to isolate myself, being convinced by my ocd that my hobbies are bad and that I should avoid things I enjoyed, and having constant panic attacks. With the work of IOP, psychiatry and nocd, I have made great strives towards my future. I now don’t avoid things and instead embrace my life and ANY possibility that may come. Don’t let the ocd bully you. Yes, I have intrusive thoughts still but I am able to go about my day instead of obsessing over them. You can find this too. I encourage anyone on the fence to please seek help if you are in a tough time, it can literally save your life.

It kinda mind boggling to me how OCD can even cause stuff to happen to us physically as well. And it all feeling real. It only reminds me how flawed our bodies really are. If people were to hear of our situations they'd call us names and choose to stay ignorant. People fear what they cannot understand. Before this I could have possible have been one of them, but here I am. OCD really goes for anybody. Does not matter what ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation you are. It is a twisted disorder that likes to make others lives harder. If I were to tell myself before this that this would happen, I would'nt believe it. I was convinced I am evil, I cried for weeks. I had to sleep in my parents bedroom for a period of time cause I couldn't face the darkness alone. This application helped me greatly during this, cause I learned just as much about OCD as I did about myself. At the same time I get saddened cause I see people going through the exact same, or much worse. If any who come across this post have any questions for me, u can feel free to do so

I’ve seen wayyyy too many negative posts on here (I totally get it)…but can someone please share some positive experiences? Doesn’t have to be so grand, it could be just that you achieved a small goal with your ocd! I don’t want to continue feeling drowned by this debilitating disorder. I want to see what has helped some of you! So we can all encourage each other! 😊
