I understand where you're coming from. But ocd can take people to some crappy places and the darkest corners of our mind. Yes, there a lots of people here with multiple diagnosises too, I may have some other stuff undiagnosed but I don't feel the need to find out. Brains disorders are not fun. People have completely different lives from each other and have massively unique experiences. We may be able to relate to each other in some cases, and in others not. I can't relate to ocd cleaning or symmetry for some examples. Thing is, some people will feel guilty about what their ocd has led them too and will not get better unless they feel like they deserve to, whether it be subconscious or not. My ocd was triggered because I almost accidentally killed my brother on his 3rd birthday. That caused 27 years of suffering for me. I got therapy and was able to forgive myself. Now I'm better. Plus I've spoken to my family about it and it really didn't bother them, including my brother. They knew it was an accident. So I understand where you're coming from but try to keep the judgements to yourself as you have no idea what kind of personal hell they've went through because of a brain glitch. I wouldn't wish ocd on anyone. Not even the worst person on the planet.

@like Some stuff triggers me too occasionally but I deal with it. I actually used it as ERP which was ultimately helpful for my recovery

I see what your saying. Maybe use the filter on here. Skip the trigger warnings too. ~ But I think all in all, the reason we are all on here is because OCD already is making us think falsely. And it’s a chain reaction, cascading sometimes into bigger problems, and then there are new revelations to come to grips with. Another type of behavior may be troubling and signal the need for another evaluation by their doctor. When type it out on here, we can give feedback and maybe they can get a clearer picture so they can get additional help. But, it would be hard to keep from getting scared on here, these are peoples thoughts and feelings. If it triggers you then speak with your therapist, hopefully it isn’t an additional topic/diagnosis for yourself. I have tried the filter but maybe it works. That was my two cents. I do understand. ❤️

I am now worried lol. I’m so worried that mine is not ocd. I went to my therapist and she seemed to understand the things I was talking about so… idk but now I’m scared that you’ve read my stuff and that is who has “more than” ocd 🥲 this sucks

@like No no! You’re good!! I get what you’re saying 100% there are some people who I worry may just be “acting” like they have it so I worry about everything!

I get where your coming from, I’ve seen people use this platform to talk about their problems with their partner or themselves completely not ocd related and it’s very unsettling to see.
