When you thought this app could help
But nobody even replies on your posts
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 :)
Never thought about it , thank you maybe this is a obsession too? That's eye opening
@TheThinker I feel that sometimes I use this app has a compulsion food comfort and often find myself doing the same thing :) stay true to yourself and try not to let your thoughts control You :)
@ocdsufferer101 As a compulsion and comfort *
@ocdsufferer101 That sounds like me too , Google researching etc , maybe that's a problem too
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
I think people used to reply a lot more I’m not sure what happened…
I think that everyone only rants about them own issues , people come here for the help but don't cooperate
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
@ambermayx I totally agree with your thoughts
Why does it take so long for people to respond to others posts? Is there just not a lot of people on here to help or do they just not know about said subject like I said genuine question no hate intended
Sometimes when I post and don’t get any replies, I get extremely paranoid that im the only one with this problem and that no one can help because they don’t understand what im going through and just find me crazy, and I start thinking im a traitor to this app and that i’m just deranged. I feel like a lost cause and im scared that if I tell anyone what I went through, they’ll just be driven away from me and avoid me. It makes me feel so isolated and depressed.
