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

@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

Let me be honest.
Ok so I just downloaded this app like two days ago because I was looking for a OCD specialist. Maybe this is just my opinion but the posting’s on this app can be super triggering. If feels like even sharing your experience on an app like this can contribute to fueling OCD. So many people I see reassurance seeking, confessing and posting the same things multiple times to gain certainty. Makes me wonder if this app is counterproductive to the point of OCD treatment. I’m guilty of spending hours scrolling through the post trying to find people who relate to me, but in the end it makes me more anxious and fuels my OCD. Idk what do you guys think.

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.
whatever.

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.
