Recently I came to the realization that Chatgpt was feeding into my obsession, I was using it to spiral and ask the same question over and over again about my sexuality hoping to get the right answer. Has anyone else experienced anything similar with ChatGPT or Ai harming their ocd?
It's becoming more common within the OCD community that ChatGPT is like a disease for people with OCD. It'll feed you your reassurance or make you doubt and it'll make your mind sick.
@Generiname Would you recommend avoiding it entirely ?
@Chlem11 Absolutely. I have never touched it once. Alcohol is nice, right? In moderation and when drank responsibly. Or not at all. Too much? It's poison.

@ydyydy It’s crazy how long i dint notice kt was even making my ocd worse, I honestly had no clue.
It depends how you use it. I just asked mine to make a smutty song about cauliflowers 🤷
AI is in more than you realize, ultimately its a tool that's there to help you and make certain things easier. When it comes to ocd, it can obviously make things worse depending on how you use it. If you ask it the same question over and over it will obviously be feeding a compulsion, but if you are using it to educate yourself? Or maybe as a sounding board for your experience, or even as something to help formulate a journal of your experiences it can be helpful. I think you just have to ask yourself how you use it, also keep in mind that its not a replacement for therapy.
@Kmcdonald Thank you
If you tell ChatGPT that you have OCD and need help not obsessing, it can be useful.
i tell mine to challenge me and give me tough love and it usually does. i mostly use it for research purposes or general advice if i have absolutely no real person to ask. its told me stuff that was absolutely not agreeing with me 😂 it’s actually kinda sassy. like damn..ok. i’m not gonna lie and say i’ve NEVER used it for reassurance purposes but that’s if the spiral is already happening and there’s no end in sight unfortunately. but yes be careful with it, it can get addictive depending on how you use it
Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.
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.
For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if you’re gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?
