Avoid compulsions!

I realized my sneakiest compulsion was getting on this app. Every time I felt anxious or started ruminating, I turned to the app for comfort but I realized it was only making me much worse. To be clear though, this app has helped me in so many ways and I’m so grateful for the wonderful people I’ve met on here and for the things I’ve learned. This app is incredible for many reasons! When it comes to compulsions in particular, I’m just speaking about my personal experience and hope to help those who may find themselves turning to the app to seek reassurance, relieve stress, and focus on the OCD by constantly reading posts, hoping to find answers or that “aha” moment.. that’s what I did, and I’m just here to tell you that when you refrain from doing those things, it helps tremendously. Compulsions can be tricky sometimes. Wishing everyone the best in their recovery journeys. Stay strong!
