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.

Hi! I’m new here!
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.

Let me be honest.
Ok so I just downloaded this app like two days ago because I was looking for a OCD specialist. Maybe this is just my opinion but the posting’s on this app can be super triggering. If feels like even sharing your experience on an app like this can contribute to fueling OCD. So many people I see reassurance seeking, confessing and posting the same things multiple times to gain certainty. Makes me wonder if this app is counterproductive to the point of OCD treatment. I’m guilty of spending hours scrolling through the post trying to find people who relate to me, but in the end it makes me more anxious and fuels my OCD. Idk what do you guys think.

Reassurance Seeking
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.
