Anyone else do this? I had to delete tiktok and instagram for my mental health. All the "wellness" influences really triggered my health ocd and pharmaphobia.
YES me too
I went down a bad rabbit hole with that during quarantine
Same. Its hard not too. So much fear mongering on those apps that its a huge trigger for me.
Omg. I am thinking about doing it too. I literally am going off medicine because of everything I keep hearing. When you have an already doubting disease (OCD) hearing all the different opinions 24:7 is SO hard. One minute I feel okay about taking medicine, the next minute I’m wondering if I want to be 100% holistic because of what everyone is saying. I don’t know what to believe. It’s like everyone’s opinions get stuck in my head 😣
Same!! I have pmdd/pcos and know I need birth control but that wellness community is like just take this supplement and you'll be fine. I guess I have to keep going back to thankfully we live in a time where we have these medical advances. Back in the day, people really suffered. Its hard. Why can't I just be healthy physically and mentally?!
@Mama_m02 Girl I literally feel the same. I listen to the horror stories about birth control, anti depressants, any medication, and think, oh no now I can’t take that because it’ll happen to me. SMH.
@Itsheathersocd Yes! It triggers that ocd fear! I have to cut it off or ill never get better. I was just googling side effects of different birth controls and it doesn't help that my mom had breast cancer. Just know you're not alone in your thoughts. I am right there with you!
