@mia bean Same, I have to stay away from it. The sexual content causes me to spiral.

@Crystal Pixellated Me too. I don’t want to look at anyone who is probably in a relationship.

I’m miserable. I spend all day on YouTube and tbh there is little to see anymore.

Is there any way you can keep yourself busy? I find that helps me a lot whether it's a job or hobbies

@Anonymous Me too, and I dont think I will go back. Not bc I’m avoiding triggers, it just is not helpful to my mental health at all. I would find myself mindlessly scrolling to avoid feeling uncomfortable. It’s actually helped me face and deal with my OCD more.

The only reason I have social media is if family or friends need to get ahold of me.... but I find myself bored not knowing what to do at times ?

same here . honestly, what i suggest is changing ur fyp & what i mean by that is basically search up things you like ( for example: food, dogs, nature, organization videos, music vids ) and like at least 30 vids in each category. TRUST ME , your fyp will changing, BUT, just like anyone we tend to like vids we relate to. id suggest stop liking videos that relate to mental health ( even if its a helpful video ) . i only say this because when im on tiktok and then i see a video about , lets say, ocd then i tend to like those vids since i can relate & because of this, i realized that ill see more “depressing” content and it just ends up reminding me of my ocd thoughts

I gave up social media for a month and it was very difficult at first. Towards the end, the desire to get online was gone and my interest with it. Since then I have downloaded the apps again and I’m now addicted again. There’s even shows about how terrible social media is for the brain- the creators themselves don’t have it and don’t let their kids have it. If it negatively affects the typical population, then it’s bound to really negatively affect mental health

I deleted my most of my social media accounts not bc I find the content triggering, but mainly bc it’s extremely time consuming and takes away my attention from the present moment. I feel better mentally now and I’m more productive in my day-to-day life, so I wouldn’t consider going back on it tbh.

Can anyone else relate to this?
my OCD is doing what it does best and it’s randomly selecting themes. Once I’m not scared or react to one it bounces to another. And then i temporarily forget all of my coping skills for that theme. Rn it’s fixating on the time I had a panic attack and it’s trying to make me have one again

Viral tik toks make me feel like Im a bad person
TikTok makes me question if I’m a bad person every day Every time a story goes viral—like the Uber Eats woman lying about her delivery at the hillside hospital—I spiral. I know what she did was very wrong, but the way people drag it out and make wild assumptions (“she probably lies at work too!”) feels extreme. I’ve never lied about missing food, but I have gotten refunds for bad orders in hard times. Now I’m panicking that maybe I’m just as bad, even though I wasn’t trying to scam. My OCD latches onto stuff like this and won’t let go. I just wish people understood how damaging these mob reactions can be. And honestly, why don’t these apps do proper investigations before punishing drivers or customers? Not everything is black and white. Idk maybe it’s just me but things can be handled without trying to go viral on tik tok.

Obsession over packages
I don't know if it's necessarily ocd related, but does anyone else get super obsessive over the orders they purchase? For example I admittedly impulsively got a cheap refurbished ipad, iPad pen and a case. (All together it was like 120 some dollars, like you can't tell me you wouldn't impulsively do that too.) Anyway, everytime I get something online I always end up religiously checking where it's at. Sometimes multiple times throughout the day despite knowing that it likely is still in the same place. It's been really bad with the iPad though for multiple reasons. First of all, this is one of the first devices I've gotten with my own money. Second of all, the pen and case came in before the actual iPad so I'm getting impatient. 🥲 My mom has this issue too so I'm pretty sure it's some weird genetic.
