Once our system notices you have posted more than 8 times in 48 hours and/or opened the app more than 50-100 a times day repeatedly it blocks you for 48 hours from posting and replying. Weekends don’t count in this timeline. These are signals the app is becoming a compulsive behavior and not something we support. Other communities exist online which do not moderate this aggressively. If you have already deleted your account there is no way to recover it.

To clarify, that block does not include blocking the therapy section?

@NOCD Advocate - Katie No functionality in the app is ever blocked besides creating posts/replies, so therapy/sos/etc is never blocked. You can still continue to read the community as well. We may ease this requirement to not block replies as well.

I see, well that's informative. Thank you. Also is the support chat moderated by an AI or is it an actual person talking to me?

The community is a concern from a clinical standpoint in that users may use it compulsively and research has shown this makes things worse (other platforms may not think about this side of the problem). Others have also mentioned that there are repeated posters and they are concerned about them and there is too much triggering content (which is something we are working in solutions to), we want the community to be a place where others no longer feel alone but we need to draw boundaries when behavior is becoming unhealthy.

So i’ve been planning to apply for a job that i’ve always wanted to experienced and i’ve been looking at videos regarding that job. I was scrolling on tiktok when i stumbled upon someone on live talking about the job. i had a very bad intrusive thought and my anxious mind told me that in order to be safe, i need to find that exact live and fix the thought. i’ve been scrolling for the past hour and have not been able to find the account. my brain is not linking the job to the intrusive thought. why is this happening 💔

Last year I used and app to talk about my POCD and people called me a pedo and told me to kill myself. It has been months and I had even forgotten about it, but I talked about my mom yesterday and I feel a sense of doom now. Like, I could have lived my life normally, but this happened. I feel overhelmed, and don't know exactly what to do, cuz when I stop to think about it, it is something awful, but I spend months just not caring, I don't know what to do, it was not even close to the worst thing that has ever happened to me, but it still feels terrible, it keeps echoing in my mind, and It won't go away, and yes I know it is OCD, I just want to let It go. And I lied somethings to my mom cuz if I told the whole truth she would be even more heartbroken (I just didn't say what app it was and I said it was recently, and not months ago) And I feel bad, but now I can't go back, but if I told her the whole truth, she would've just broke down. Basically she thinks it was yesterday and in another app, and I told her I just commented on something. But I feel so bad! I don't want to tell the truth to her, but also, I don't know...

I was doing fine today until I asked ChatGPT if i cheated and they said it could count as emotional cheating if you are engaging in intense daydreams and looking someone up on social media to feed a fantasy about them. My partner and I already spoke about me fantasizing about this person and he said it was totally fine since it happened in my head and he has had crushes and fantasies on coworkers too. However I feel absolutely devastated and wrecked with guilt and anxiety and panic right now. I genuinely feel like a horrible horrible horrible cheater. I don’t know what to do. I have therapy scheduled for later this week but I really really need some advice right now!!! I feel like it could count as cheating since it did happen during a few weeks where i felt a bit distant from my partner and I feel like the daydreaming was excessive. I am so so scared. Do I confess? Do I tell him I cheated? He already told me once that cheating is a physical interaction (and I literally have not interacted with this person outside of surface level responses in a group server that my partner is also a part of). Do I have a moral obligation to tell him I cheated? I need to know.
