Don’t go on tiktok

Recently, I had a really bad bout of ROCD, but when my boyfriend came to visit for the first time in a while it settled down a bit because I was happy to see him, and things have been pretty good since then. But this morning I saw a tiktok about a girl complaining about how her boyfriend doesn’t do that many little things, which is a very minor problem I have in my relationship, and everybody in the comments was telling her to leave him. It was extremely triggering, even thought I’m very happy with my boyfriend and he treats me well. I wish I had never watched that tiktok.

Kinda related to what you said, tiktok triggers me too but with my SO-OCD! Especially when the topic is comphet and women coming out later in life. They talk about minor things that made them realize, and it makes me anxious. I’ve just always imagined having a boyfriend and the thought of me lying to myself about my sexuality my entire life scares me 😭

Same thing happens to me! It’s unsettling but I think we think if it didn’t bother us then why let it bother us now? We all have different ideas and have different mind sets but as long as we feel happy and fulfilled we shouldn’t worry about minor stuff, my boyfriend has done so so many things for me and just because he can’t talk to me for 10 minutes I start thinking he doesn’t love me 😭but Ik it’s my anxiety/ocd so I calm down a bit and don’t take things personally

Thank you for saying this! I’m crying. TikTok has made my OCD so horrible. I started using it at the beginning of the pandemic and it’s convinced me that my children would be caught up in some sort of American version of the Holocaust, that my husband is a narcissistic abuser, that we were going to be broke and penniless because of inflation, that he’s leaving me. I literally couldn’t eat and then I started thinking if I eat I’ll ruin my life so I would go days and days not eating anything and when I finally ate something I would feel so guilty and my anxiety got so bad! I quit it a month ago because I started to suspect i has trained the algorithm to only bring me things that increased my OCD. I’m so sad that I can’t let my relationship evolve naturally cause I’m trying to always hold onto the past version of my relationship, and maybe I have put so much pressure on my husband that he truly wants to not be in this relationship with me. 😭

Tiktok is seriously one of my biggest triggers 🥲 I try to remind myself that the majority of the things on there aren’t even how things are in the real world. People, especially strangers, are so quick to make minor problems into something seemingly catastrophic.

Question

Is it a compulsion to get rid of social media. I feel extremely triggered by social media, even before I had ocd my boyfriend told me to get off tik tok because it was feeding so much bullshit into my head and making me worry about my relationship because there was so many cheating video things on there… I took myself off Facebook when me and bf broke up months ago, we got back together but social media was one of our biggest problems in our relationship so he still chooses to not have me on there which is fine. But I sorta just don’t even see a point in having it? At the same time tho, I don’t want to go on there also because I get triggered easily by things. Was thinking of if I go back on there one day to just make all new accounts for things, if I choose or want it again one day…

Tiktok triggers!

Does anyone find tiktoks about being ‘realising’ they are gay or coming out later in life really triggering? I have SO-OCD and seeing those things makes me question everything so deeply. How do you cope with this please.

anxious because I’m always annoyed at my bf and I know it’s just ocd in the form of anger but read a comment on TikTok saying your body is rejecting ur bf if you’re always annoyed and now I’m so scared :))
