For me I feel Tiktok has heightened my ocd. Whenever I see something triggering I delete it for like a week. Obviously people can’t tiptoe around our triggers, but I do find deleting the app helpful even if it’s for a day or two. Yes the intrusive thought will still be there, you won’t go down a rabbit hole that will make it way worse.

I used to delete the app but I figured it would be avoidance. So I’ve started immediately blocking people that post triggering content on purpose and I try not to spiral in the comments by reading them bc it’s just contributing the algorithm pulling more videos like that when I interact by reading the comments

Worst part is she was joking so like why post that at all? And the comments were making my ocd worse. AND my brain immediately latched onto it bc my indoor cat bit my hand like three months ago. This is like the third fear I’ve had unlocked thanks to tik tok 🥴

Tiktok is so unhealthy for many reasons but for ocd, i got triggered and have stayed triggered from one tktok/ the comments. Its almost two years. And i have the same obsession from just one video. And while it’s obviously not their responsibility to tip toe around people. So many people make videos about conspiracies or wild things for the views. And the comments are either people being sarcastic or just being a wild as the poster because its funny to them. Its all clickbait and trying to get views. But people like us are more likely to create obsessions about it.

I didn't see the tik tok but I've been terrified a puppy gave it to my baby. It's been my ocd obsession for over a month now.

I’ve always seen it on here or in other support groups of being a. common ocd obsession I just never thought I would get it until now :(

Speaking my fears out loud
I’ve been really struggling with obsessing on the though that I somehow got exposed to rabies without my knowledge. I live in an older home and my mind keeps telling me somehow a bat got in without my knowledge, even though I have no reason to believe so. I also own a cat and I’ve also been struggling with what if he got exposed because of this “bat”.

Real event
I’m stuck in a loop, I can’t stop avoiding the thoughts by watching tik tok, I’m paralyzed on the couch, I’m searching for clues everywhere that something bad is happening I don’t know how to go on like this anymore my fears are so strong so present they feel so real. Any mention of the future sends my whole body into panic. My arms go numb, I can’t keep living like this i feel like I’m going crazy

Pet OCD-Cat
I saw a Tik tok video randomly of a woman petting her cat at the base of its tail and it making a funny noise. I read the comments and random ppl were saying she was turning her cat on…which is not true. Anyway, one day I saw my sweet cat and decided to sit on the floor and just pet her and love on her. As I was petting her, the intrusive thought of that video came in and I still petted her near the base of her tail literally for like 2 seconds and now my ocd has been questioning intentions and I’m having the hardest time of my life. 😭😭😭 I just need someone to relate to. 😭 Any advice?
