@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.

triggering content on tiktok and insta
there’s a lot of gofundme’s and stuff that have people with cancer or someone hurt or stuff that pop up on my fyp’s and it can get really triggering because i feel the need to excessively pray for them everytime i see them. does anyone else get this way?

OCD with posts and online activity
Does anyone experience ocd really bad with posts they see online? I just saw a post just now about someone who said they’ve come to terms with dying in their early twenties, and it popped up on my Instagram for you page and i panicked. I’m 20 myself and posts like this genuinely scare me because I always think “It’s a sign or there is a reason it’s popping up on my page.” Has anyone dealt with this before or had an instance like this? Especially with those posts that say if you don’t share or like it something bad will happen, it genuinely freaks me out and I love instagram.

New here!
I feel like I’ve had a lot of different categories of ocd. Some categories stick with me more and are repetitive. I’ve been doing well with mental health - not having anxiety stick around. When the physical feeling of anxiety sticks around, every thought is horrible, but when the feeling of anxiety is gone the obsessions don’t really impact me. If I can keep anxiety at bay, my life is good. I’ve been doing well lately, although this week I was scrolling through tictok and watched a video about someone in a coma and wondered if I was in a coma right now and didn’t know it. I had a panic attack for about 15 minutes. Anxiety, sweating, etc. It didn’t take ahold of me and it quickly lost its impact on me. It still shook me and I was just like “wow” where did that come from. Now I am staying away from social media. Is that avoidance? Should I make myself keep watching social media? Many ocd problems have come from social media or watching a movie or show that triggers something and then spirals. I am limiting what I watch, which I believe is good because I shouldn’t be watching that stuff anyway. What do you think?
