Why do people have to be rude? Yes I know us sufferers aren't supposed to ask for reassurance, but this is all so new to me.. Forgive me If I want to post about how I'm feeling, I've finally found a place where I feel I can safely say what's on my mind. So for someone to be rude by telling me not to keep posting the same thing. Makes me feel 10 times worse. People should really consider how they are talking to people on here. You may be familiar and know what to do in times of distress but that doesn't mean we all do.

Yeah you're right, it's even worse if you have social anxiety in this case because you feel like a bother. I don't know if there is someone who wrote something like this, but feel free to talk about your feelings and emotions whenever you want :) this is a forum to help poeple and to vent. Ocd is hard and stopping reassurance and compulsions is even harder, I feel the same. It's part of the journey tho

Don't worry :) right now hocd but I have intrusive thoughts of different themes at the same time. I had some other themes in the past but while they were distressing they weren't as strong as this, so I too am trying to navigate this whole thing

Thank you ❤ nice to know there are some kind people on here. Most of the people I've come across are very kind. But you get the ones that feel the need to snap and have a go at you. But as you said this is a forum to help people vent. What's the point in having it if I can't talk about how I'm feeling. That's the whole reason I downloaded it. OK maybe wanting some reassurance was there to begin with but I'm still learning about why this isn't good for ocd sufferers. But to have someone be rude when I'm just posting how I feel, venting to people that understand and go through the same. Thank you for your kind words though ❤️ I appreciate it

No problems:) I'm sorry you had to read those things. If you ever need to talk to someone I'm here ❤️

No, homosexual ocd/ sexual orientation ocd. I've had some harm ocd thoughts in the past and I still get intrusive thoughts about it, in general because some of my intrusive thoughts can be vividly violent. Finding this app has been great, because I get some supports cause it's hard to explain this to other people. But we're not alone :)

We understand, some people can be like that sometimes but i'm here if you wanna talk, i suffer from harm ocd too and i understand what you're going through<3 so if you wamma talk about anything i have twitter since we don't have dm's here @c0smickiddo❤❤

I've been reading more about homosexual ocd I'm sorry youre going through that ? we all suffer differently but we're all in the same boat so it's nice to know we have a place we can rant and not feel judged, I'm glad you are getting some support ? thank you for being so nice and I'm always here if you want to chat about it❤️ And thank you it's.catts I would definitely like to chat some more about it with you, unfortunately I don't have twitter but I'm sure I can get it. ?

Thank you ?❤️ Can I ask if you don't mind, what type of ocd are you suffering with?

Do you mean harm ocd? That's what I'm suffering with, I've had it for years and years. I'm now 29 and only recently discovered there's a name to it. It's caused me a lot of distress too. Well if you ever wanna talk I'm here too ? have to support eachother on this app and show eachother we aren't alone
