Always

please if you can try to avoid social medis that trigger ocd me too i really struggle with this i speak from experience sometimes i check reels on youtube or instagram and i feel a lot of obsessive thoughts looking at the videos i know its so hard to avoid trust me ❤️ hang in there my dear i really understand

It’s instagram for me

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

I gave up all social media for lint and I don’t miss it at all

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.
