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

Reassurance
Posting for reassurance and not getting comments due to that is so hard. OCD is so hard..

Compulsively on reddit when in a spiral
Is it just me or is reddit and quora the worst things to be on when you’re in a spiral or just in general when you have OCD? Why is it always mostly negative replies on there or just ‘move on, get over it’ ‘break up’, ‘what’s wrong with you?’ responses? I’ve accidentally made it a habit/compulsion to go on there when I’m freaking out about something and it always makes me worse - especially when it comes to ROCD! It always make me doubt my own thoughts and emotions :(
ughhhh

Everyone needs positivity here
I was going to ask for advice and vent after i just had an episode but reading through everyones post on here. I can see that everyone is collectively struggling at the moment and i think we need to utilize this community for more than just sharing our sadness. Nothing is wrong with venting of course but i feel like there isnt enough positive energy here to encourage everyone to keep going. I know asking for reassure feels like a must sometimes and trust me everyone has asked for it, it was a heavy compulsion of mine. But reassure is not what you need. It will make it worse everyone please trust me. Instead of letting out mind win we must support each other, understand our struggles but also share out wins. I feel like we dont use this community enough for finding friendship among us or spreading enough happiness. OCD Is not a happy disorder but seeing that everyone here is just here either hating on someone, people being too afraid to ask for help or no one reading peoples post. This place isnt just for our negative thoughts and events to fester we need to support each other here too! Ask for help, comment on peoples post with love everyone is struggling. In this community we should help pull each other out from dark places not let them stay there. I hope everyone who is going through it right has a better night/day/afternoon. You’re loved deeply your not a monster, your not evil, your not dirty, your not a heretic your Nothing your thoughts tell you are. Peace to you🤍🤍🤍🤍
