@mimie28 Hi, sorry, I said conservative culture because I know that some people from the Muslim faith have a conservative culture but I didn’t mean any insult at all. If you are conservative or not, I don’t mind. I don’t like to stereotype, either. Sorry if my comment bothered you. Do you live in Nigeria or are originally from there and live somewhere else?
Perefarably young adults
Perefarably young adults
Me too thankyou
Hi, I am not from the same religion as you but I am also a young adult and from a conservative culture. If you are interested please reply. Thank you!
No problem can we be friends ? What country are you from please
@mimie28 Hi I live in the US
Are you a female
@mimie28 Yes
Plus what does a conservative culture mean
@mimie28 I am from an Asian culture originally but I was born and grew up in the US so I consider myself bicultural. I still follow things from my culture but I consider myself pretty progressive when it comes to some things.
@mimie28 I am totally open to being friends! Where do you live?
Oh common its okay. Not a problem at all I'm orginially from Nigeria and all live there hope you don't mind ?
How can we get in touch?
@mimie28 I guess we can keep messaging on this app. I don’t know if my phone will be able to call internationally with my current plan. I didn’t know NOCD is reaching people in Nigeria! Nice to meet you and we can keep talking on here if that is okay with you.
You are not on what's app ?
I think that's more private and easier
I don’t really use WhatsApp sorry
Okay fine
Hi what is your name by the way? My name is Shivani.

@mimie28 Yes I am originally Indian. One of my college professors was also named Maryam. Do you go to school/college?
Yes I attend a university in my country I'm sorry but I feel insecure sharing details on here feels like everyone can see it
@mimie28 Oh that’s okay I know some stuff is personal. Hope you are doing well
Well sortof you know how life can be especially withocd wby sist ?
@mimie28 Yeah OCD can be hard to live with. Are you working with a therapist?
No dear you ?
@mimie28 Yes I am. Did you try to get a therapist with NOCD?
It does work for people in Nigeria here ... What I mean is the page is not available
@mimie28 Maybe you can contact the care team and ask them what you can do. I think it has been effective
How do I contact them please
Their email is care@nocdhelp.com
Okay sis thankyou

Well not really but I'm not against it either I wish my Christian friends around the world a Merry Christmas ... I m sorry to ask but what your religion ?
@mimie28 Did you contact NOCD about an appointment?
This isn't OCD related at all, not even a little, and I'm really sorry, but I feel so panicked and overwhelmed right now and I need an outlet. So basically, I have this friend and we met online shortly after Christmas, not irl. We got on really well. I felt like I could tell them anything. Whenever I felt sad (which was quite often) they would help so much by just being there for me. Sending cute and reassuring tiktoks to me. I felt like they were the nicest ever. I told them stuff other people might judge me for. They never judged me and they never seemed judgemental. I started noticing some things, like their reposts on Tiktok. I noticed years ago they reposted something very anti LGBTQ+. It hurt, I couldn't understand it. I asked them about it, and they didn't exactly seem like they did hate LGBTQ+ people. I moved on, still unsure. I found recently they reposted something else. I wasn't sure whether this was super offensive, but the tone of the original post FELT offensive. I have a strong moral compass, and these things got to me so much because I'm attached to this person. And then today, I find another thing they reposted, this time about immigration. It had a strong racist tone. I know now that I need to cut them off. I don't want people like that in my life. It's one thing having different views, but I firmly stand by the idea that you should agree with those around you about things like this. But I'm so distressed. I feel so attached to them. None of this seems like them at all. They seem like such a kind, non judgemental person. I would sit waiting for their text. I would feel so happy to hear from them. We text non stop. We have loads in common. They never judged me. I thought I finally found someone who actually wanted to be my friend, who actually liked me. I'm going to feel empty and numb, and I'm trying not to cry while writing this. Who will I have? Nobody to expect a text from. Nobody to ask about my day. Nobody to send me cute pictures to cheer me up. I actually feel like I'll never get past this. I feel so lonely all the time and they were there for me when no one else was. I feel so numb and I'm terrified. Sorry again that this isn't OCD related. I just didn't know what to do.
Does anyone want to actually be friends? Id love to have a few friends to talk to maybe a group chat or something
I’m 19 and struggle with health anxiety, contamination, harm, and magical thinking OCD and would love to meet people with similar experiences and hardships because I have never had an opportunity for such a supportive community!
