people shouldn’t really be helping, unless it’s ways of erp and exposure, reassurance feeds your ocd. Hope this helps :)

Nonprofessionals and those who have recovered can only do so much. People have lives to attend to outside the app. And as ocdsufferer101 said, the appropriate ways to help is often NOT giving someone reassurance and giving them tools and resources for ERP.

NOCD used to have a volunteer program of advocates that was overseen by a therapist. The idea was that this group of people moderated this community trying to respond and support as many people as possible. The stopped this program awhile back, I’m not sure why. There is another support group on Discord ascend OCD that you may find helpful. Hopefully, between the two groups, you will find the support you need https://discord.gg/kM5BgMZ9Fj

Hey, I try to reply to most the ones I see if I can say something to help but sometimes if it’s a theme I haven’t experienced or something I haven’t experienced I don’t know what to say I feel the same when I make a post and no one replies so it’s understandable why you think this way I haven’t seen any of your posts come up, this is the first

@TheThinker also I’m quite new to using it I’ve only started actually using the app this week but joined the app in November so could be why I haven’t seen any I definitely think people should reply as much as they can and try to help eachother as much as they can

I like this app but unfortunately I just don't seem to get the support I need. Feel so alone. I see other people post and lots of people relate to what they are going through and always reply. I just don't seem to find that. (harm ocd sufferer) when I say hocd most people think I mean homosexual ocd. I know we aren't supposed to ask for reassurance and I'm not really just would be nice to find someone who suffers the same and gets what I'm going through.

This app is going to help no one if all it gets used for it reassurance seeking posts being responded to with more reassurance seeking replies.
