Should I go to the hospital if my head hurts after repeatedly slapping and punching my forehead? They were all because of compulsions. I feel fine now although it hurts a little bit, Ive read you can still do serious damage to your brain from it though.

Checking sometimes IS wrong, you can’t say it’s never wrong, this is why health anxiety is a thing

@uwotm8 Yess ofcourse checking within OCD is always wrong. But not when we talk about her health

@Jansen0495 Going to the hospital for slapping yourself is literally ocd overreacting

@uwotm8 No ofcourse not, if you hit yourself really bad you can harm yourself even with OCD.

@uwotm8 How can you tell whether she is badly damaged without knowing anything

@Jansen0495 How can you tell her she has without knowing anything? I’m not saying she CANT go anyway?

@uwotm8 I don't know that, that's the whole point of checking in the hospital...

@Jansen0495 She can do what she wants at the end of the day

@uwotm8 Okay..I hope she does. don't know what this has to do with the previous comments but never mind

@uwotm8 I appreciate your input in trying to help, however I do think it’s quite insensitive for you to tell me that I’m overreacting. I know it probably wasn’t your intention to make me feel bad, but your comment literally takes me back to when my parents would brush off my concerns without taking the time to listen to me, and conversate with me compassionately. Not everything that makes you feel reassured is a compulsion. It DID really hurt, after I was done I was experiencing jaw pains and dizziness, and I was turning pale. Although I don’t see why I should have to prove the severity of my symptoms to strangers.

@I eat boys Christ how am I expected to know what your parents used to do? You asked a question, I thought you wanted us to tell you it was fine. I meant that. O C D was overreacting, not YOU I’m so over this app

@I eat boys You asked us if you should Go to the hospital for slapping yourself, you never mentioned any of the above till now. How the he’ll am I supposed to know that? You don’t have to prove anything to me no but unless we know the full picture of course it will affect answers.

@uwotm8 If you’re so tired of this app, then get off it. What purpose do you bring to the community? Just to bring people down in their state of vulnerability? Of course you wouldn’t know what my parents used to do, but there is a little saying that goes a long way called “Be nice to everyone as you never know what people are going through”. It’s something that’s so obvious it doesn’t NEED to be mentioned.

@uwotm8 I never asked the question to receive answers of people telling me that I was fine. I truly hope you learn to approach talking to people online the same way you would in real life.

I’m not self harming, and I live in Australia but thanks.
