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.
I get triggered very easily so I may not look at your post, but I haven't seen it and am not ignoring you friend! However I'm here for you. I know how debilitating OCD is💗
@Anony1314 Thank you so much, please just do whatever makes you comfortable. I didn’t really think of that & now I feel bad for not initially respecting that. Especially because I know how those triggers work! 🥹
@whatever. Hey no need to apologize at all!! I never even read it or seen it! I'm here for you. I know where you are coming from and how debilitating this OCD is and can be. Just know you are NOT alone. I am rooting for you!
I feel this.
Aww I’m so sorry to hear that :( I understand, especially when OCD is telling you you want answers, comfort, or just someone to talk to asap. How’re you now? I’ll try to find your post and see if I can respond or help in any way. You’re not alone❤️we’re all in this together. Stay strong. Remember, you’re learning to rewire your brain after years of it functioning one way - so give yourself some grace. You got through the hardest step which is asking and acknowledging when you need help.
Hey - what’s wrong
@Dreamydream Hi I left a post below from an hour ago and it’s a really long post so if you don’t mind going there I would really appreciate it. BUT as a warning it deals with very heavy topics! Sorry I didn’t think of that, that might be why people are not comfortable saying anything . Idk I’m just going through it right now because I can’t tell if I’m overthinking because of my OCD & trauma or whatnot. But thank you nonetheless 🫶🏽🫶🏽
It sounds incredibly exhausting and isolating to feel like you're not getting the support you need, especially when dealing with something as debilitating as OCD. So many people struggle to understand, and that can make the burden feel even heavier. If you’d like additional support, I encourage you to book a call with our NOCD team. We’d be happy to share more information and explore ways to help. You are not alone in this.

Hi everyone, I’m reaching out here because I know this community understands the daily battles of living with OCD. Recently, I hit a really dark place and tried to take my own life. It’s been hard to admit, but I’m still here, and I’m trying to find a way forward. OCD feels relentless sometimes—the intrusive thoughts, the constant doubt, the cycles that never seem to end. It became so overwhelming that I didn’t see a way out. I know I need help, and I’m working on reaching out to professionals, but I also wanted to connect here. To those who’ve been in a similar place: What helped you keep going? How do you manage the darkest moments when OCD takes over? I feel like I’m holding on by a thread, but I’m holding on. Any advice, words of encouragement, or personal experiences would mean so much to me right now. Thank you for reading this, and for being part of a space where we can be honest about our struggles.
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.
It kinda mind boggling to me how OCD can even cause stuff to happen to us physically as well. And it all feeling real. It only reminds me how flawed our bodies really are. If people were to hear of our situations they'd call us names and choose to stay ignorant. People fear what they cannot understand. Before this I could have possible have been one of them, but here I am. OCD really goes for anybody. Does not matter what ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation you are. It is a twisted disorder that likes to make others lives harder. If I were to tell myself before this that this would happen, I would'nt believe it. I was convinced I am evil, I cried for weeks. I had to sleep in my parents bedroom for a period of time cause I couldn't face the darkness alone. This application helped me greatly during this, cause I learned just as much about OCD as I did about myself. At the same time I get saddened cause I see people going through the exact same, or much worse. If any who come across this post have any questions for me, u can feel free to do so
