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.

Why no reassurance?
Hello! I just got diagnosed with OCD a week ago and joined the app today to find a sense of community. Since my understanding of treatment is minimal at this point, I'm confused why everything on here tells us not to seek or give reassurance? If someone could explain the reasoning behind that it would be greatly appreciated, as I want to make sure I'm not only watching out for it in my personal life but also using this app appropriately.

Thinking of deleting NOCD app
I feel like having the app is kind of keeping me stuck. I stopped doing therapy after my therapist left abruptly, but I like having the community here. I would feel like I’m abandoning y’all, but it might be better for my mental health? I’m just not sure. I feel like deleting is giving in somehow, but I can always redownload. For the friends I’ve made on here, just know that if I go, I still very much care about you and your wellbeing and recovery! ❤️

Hello everyone
I’m finding this a great app. Is there any recommendation for how often it should be visited? Like not asking for a specific amount of time or whatever, I just find that maybe I shouldn’t always be reading stuff on the topic? Anyone have a balance they recommend?
