When you thought this app could help
But nobody even replies on your posts

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

It's fine as long as you're trying to help , sometimes the fact that someone approaches a hand of help feels better. When nobody even replies it makes you feel even more lonely.

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

I was before anonymous so makes sense you " didn't "see me . If a Nike shoes post sounds familiar that was me

@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

Just a vent
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way

I really wish yall would actually help.
This app is too flooded with posts and not enough people returning help. I really need it like. I’m sorry to be a nuisance but literally nobody else understands OCD & how debilitating it is. I’m so tired. So so tired.

Triggered ?
Does anyone else read other peoples post and think it’s for them or about them and their situation and start to think that’s what they are going through themselves ? Or like I’m blaming ocd but it’s my brain actually telling that’s how I actually feel?
