Saw something online that triggered me

@ Choupette Same, YouTube, twitter and Reddit are my biggest triggers. I have to avoid them most of the time because of all of the bad stuff that gets on the recommendation page and on the TL.

It was a comment about a person who had OCD and the actual thing they were afraid of calling it 'anxious attraction' and it scared me

@endless_echoes I can totally see why that could be triggering, I’d feel the same way

@ck99 - I kind of wish I never saw it... I can't stop ruminating about it now and it's become another fear of mine.

@endless_echoes Sorry so just to be clear, the person who had OCD said they have anxious attraction? Or was it someone else? I wouldn’t pay any mind to other people on different platforms! If it was a non OCD person who said this, they wouldn’t understand OCD. But I totally understand and I’m sorry if none of this is helping, I’d be triggered as well. On the bright side, this could potentially be a good ERP exposure

@endless_echoes But I understand, I ruminate a lot and it’s very easy to develop new fears. You got this tho, don’t lose hope

@ck99 - It was a person on YouTube who said they knew someone who had both OCD and real attraction to the thing they were worried about. I stopped reading after that. :(

@endless_echoes Im so sorry, like I said I understand why that’s triggering. Although I thought it wasn’t possible to have OCD and also be that specific thing you’re scared of unless I’m wrong

@ck99 - I also think it's not possible either. Mainly because OCD sufferers worry about having those scary false feelings while the real thing is something entirely different from what people with OCD experience. So when I saw that post I became even more worried about the intrusive thoughts.
