Self care
From this app, I got reported for asking for reassurance. Sorry guys. That wasn’t great. I will try to do better for self care

It's okay if you take one step backwards as long as you take two steps forward :)

I think I've been reported for reassurance in the past. Don't apologise as we all make mistakes. Just see it as a gentle nudge and reminder to focus yourself in a healthier direction. It does get better if you know how

Oh I see. So it’s not like you got reported for a violation or to authorities or something sinister like that. It was just letting you know that you were seeking reassurance and that is the entire point of ERP is to not seek reassurance. I wouldn’t take it in a bad way. Maybe re-examine your post and see if maybe that’s what you’re doing and try to learn from it and to work through the ocd induced anxiety.

@Confused on how to help Yeah I just realized even though the other posts having seeming reassurance, that post specifically got reported because a person commented a harmful response to me underneath. So the app warned me not do it again so that my ocd won’t worsen

What does that mean you got reported? By whom and to whom?

I think I need to take a step back
Finding this app has helped me a lot in feeling like I'm not isolated and I've definitely met so many kind and helpful people here. You guys have helped me on my darkest days. However, because of my fragile state of mind, I think scrolling on here is becoming a compulsion and I feel like I end up triggering myself more by scrolling through some posts. I think it just ends up adding more to my intrusive thoughts and more ammo for my false memories and POCD to latch on to. And I know exposures are good for treating OCD, but this level of exposure seems to be doing more harm than good. So I will try to be less active (maybe I won't, who knows lol).

Reassurance Seeking
I told my OCD group about NOCD and one of the members brought up that this app, despite its intent to create a safe community for sharing OCD experiences could potentially be used for reassurance seeking, thus contributing to compulsions. I’ve noticed some posts about people venting and asking for reassurance and I wonder the same thing.
