Ocd will always try to play tricks on us like that. It wants you to worry that if you delete the person’s page you wont be able to go back and check for evidence that you have typed something bad on their page. This is just ocd playing it’s usual tricks and putting intrusive thoughts in our heads to make us check that fear which is a compulsion. I would say the best thing you can do is speak to a licences therapist and focus on erp as this will help you accept the uncertainty and weaken the importance of the intrusive thoughts. Apologies if i am coming across to reassurring as i know that is one of the worst things we can do to help with ocd. I completely understand your pain with this and i plan to get myself with this type of ocd theme. I highly recommend opening up and speaking to a therapist who can give professional advice :)
I plan to get myself better with this type of ocd theme*
I struggle with this also. Especially at work, i fear i have typed something inappropriate. I eventually had to open up to my manager about my ocd as it made me fall behind lots with my workload by constantly checking emails etc. Luckily they were very supportive. I do also get this in my personal life with dms, messaging and social media etc. I hope you start feeling better soon, you are not alone.
@patrock182 tw grooming : // i remember my ocd saying i typed something horrible today . the messages didnt send cuz i wasnt friends w the person but im sure i spammed the hi emoticon and said hi and then i said why was i banned and now my ocd kees saying i said " i wanna groom u " so now i feel bad
@edenmn I know exactly how you feel. It is very stressful when your ocd tries to convince you that you have typed something you would never want to type and something against your nature. I spoke about this lots with my therapist and he explained that i would know if i typed something inappropriate and it’s just my ocd being a bully and it trying to latch onto anything to cause anxiety. Easier said than done but my therapist also said not to give these thoughts any importance, they are just thoughts and not us. I used ERP and found it very helpful, it is scary at first as you just want to check what you have typed to make sure it wasn’t inappropriate but by not giving in to the ocd checking, it retrains our brains and stops giving that intrusive thought any importance. Im of course not an expert but I hope that helps in some way. It might be worth seeking a therapist to chat more about this. I have recently had a slight relapse but therapy helped me over the last few months and I’m planning to speak to a therapist soon to help with this. I’m sure it will help you lots :)
@patrock182 thank u sm!
@edenmn its happening again !! i was ruminating on the issue while looking at their acc and now my ocd is saying i typed it ahaib and deleted it or was about to type it when thats both false i didnt send anything or type anything so now my ocd keeps making up false mwmories to the point idk what to do. i dont wanna delete the persons page cuz im worried my ocd is gonna say i typed somn bad
Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw Tw So there’s manors on this app ( purposefully misspelled) and I know it’s their choice to click the 18 plus posts or any posts they want but my point is what if I say something wrong to a manor or what if I think I did ( my compulsion ) is to take a picture of the conversation so just incase I get blocked for whatever reason or the post gets deleted I have proof I didn’t say anything bad and besides I never have …but it’s like I don’t trust myself ughhhh I know there’s manors everywhere on every social media app but just the thought of manors on an OCD app that always has very strong topics like you don’t have to go looking for them they’re just there vs things like facebook has a variety of posts and if you want to look up a heavy topic you have to search it unlike on the NOCD app it’s easier to access because everyone here is talking about their intrusives but usually nothing else … it just makes me so paranoid that there’s manors on this app …. I don’t know how else to explain it …. Hopefully I’m not coming off as wrong … if anyone is confuse please ask for clarity before you get upset or assume ❤️
I’m so stressed, my mind is always telling me to recheck my messages that I sent because what if I said something racist, inappropriate or mean to the person I was messaging. Or what if I post something inappropriate or rude, the only way I can somewhat cope is by logging out of my socials every night. But even that is a long progress. Like I have to make sure to read every message I sent and that it’s safe for me to leave it for the night. And if it doesn’t feel right I have to log back in over and over until it looks and feels good to me. I’m so exhausted lol:,)
Adults only as pocd mentioned I'm still thinking abt all the friends online who have unfollowed me,some cases even i think softblocked or fully blocked me. My brain is convinced that I must have done something gross and predatory or I did something racist or in general bigoted and they came to terms with it and left me. I can't stop thinking abt it. I just remembered checking an old discord for a fandom I was in when I was 17,half the people there had unadded me when we were friended and possibly even blocked,I hadn't talked to a lot of them in a long time though,but I thought we were on good terms. I think we also used to follow eachother on tumblr but before I made a new tumblr I remember not seeing their posts after some point and I can't remember if it's just bc I wasn't on much or i unfolloed or I got blocked. I feel I must have done something awful. One of my worst fears is people i care abt or was friends w leaving me and not telling me why,I have so much stuff I did on the internet I feel regret abt and it could be any of those things,as i mentioned i cant stop goint thru old messages and there have been times ive seen me make like a nsfw joke as a teen in a group chat or me not react negatively when someone else in the chat does something weird . I'm constantly scared who the next old friend i have will suddenly disappear one day,letting me wonder if I did something hurtful or predatory or bigoted to them or someone they know. I have so much stuff I regret a lot when i was younger,I have so much stuff I wanna confess but I'd be here all day and I'm bound to forget something then remember it later and spiral.
