OH MY GOD I'VE FELT THIS. Ocd makes us so needy beyond rationality that it upsets me. I hate this whole thing too, don't worry. We're all living through horrors.

@?uwotm8? The feeling of being judged when nobody responds with reassurance

You're not alone! We're all going through the same patterns, but different themes.

I think no one comments anymore because we know that giving you reassurance is not helpful, and many of us, rather scroll by, than causing you or any one else harm. No one is judging you, at least no one on NOCD. Best advice we can give you, is to seek professional help, and I don’t mean getting tested again. A therapist will give you the help you truly need. I know reassurance gives us instant comfort, but the doubts WILL come back. It’s just a temporary relief, and it doesn’t help cause ocd is a permanent disorder. I’m sorry you were feeling this way, but we’re here for you.

Thankyou, I’ve realised this and called the doctor and my old therapist said he will see me once as a favour too

I’ve posted a few times about STDs a few days ago I don’t know if it’s easier to go to that thread? Thankyou

I believe you do not have any STDs if your tests have repeatedly been negative. I don’t know what symptoms you’re having, but it’s possible they’re from something else and that your OCD is making you believe it’s from an STD. It’s also possible your symptoms are psychosomatic. I hope this helps.

You’re totally not alone !! I hope you get better ASAP. Sometimes I don’t say anything because I’m afraid of giving the wrong advice when I’m inexperienced with certain forms of OCD , but if I could tell you one tip , it would be to accept that you don’t know with 100% certainty if you have an STD ( I know it’s so hard ), but that you could still enjoy your life with one. You could tell yourself that you may face challenges along the way , but they wouldn’t have to stop you from enjoying your life. Perception is everything

@?uwotm8? Try to embrace the uncertainty and tel yourself that they could be anything , and if it were a problem , you could do what you have to to feel better

Starting to hate my room
Idk if im the only one but I've literally just been holed up in my bedroom for the past 3 months and have barely gone out especially in the last 2. I'm too scared to leave and interact with people normally because I feel like a criminal and like someone who doesn't deserve to be around others. But in the same breath, I'm starting to hate my bedroom. It just feels like all my negative emotions are being bottled up and stored in here. I keep telling myself I should go out and take a walk and maybe it will feel better to just be out in the fresh air. But also don't want to because I'm quite lethargic on top of not eating that much either. Just feeling... stuck.

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.
