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.

Does anyone have any advice? I was venting to Chat GPT about my fears a month ago and one of the questions I asked it got flagged. Despite it getting flagged, it explained to me that all the symptoms that I had been experiencing from the situation I told it about were ocd and actually provided me a lot of reassurance in the moment. Although I established that I had ocd from the beginning, I started worrying about that question that I asked it saying that it was against community guidelines. Even though it still answered the question and told me it was ocd now I’m worried that I shared too much with it. I deleted my account out of worry that it could have a data leakage or something like that. I got even more scared when I researched if my data would really get deleted or not and it said that my data would get deleted but some would be retained for “legal or security reasons” which scares me because what if that data could be deemed as that. I’ve just been really stressing over this and feel like I shouldn’t have even asked chat gpt in the first place but I felt desperate. Even though it said that they were ocd symptoms, I’m scared that I shared too much and that it will retain that data for being flagged. Can someone help?

Hey, so I wanted to ask about something that is trying to bother me right now. I just thought to come on here before letting my mind ruminate over and over and over. So a year ago when I was 22, I did not have many people to talk to aside from my roommates who were either not home during the summer or just to themselves so I decided to try out Omegle. I talked to a few different people on there, but there’s two people in particular that kind of made me worried. There is this one girl I was talking to from Canada and she told me the story about her and her friends smoking weed, and I told her about how my female roommate used to sleep in my bed. But the way I told her that was by asking for her Instagram so I could DM her that rather than say it out loud because my roommate was in the next room. At some point during our conversation, she told me that she was 16, and I’m not even sure how we came about that but she told me. Before I continue, we were not flirting at all. We were just sharing stories, that was it. My intention was to not flirt at all with anyone because of age and the fact that they probably nowhere near me. Also, I just kind of thought it would be weird too. But now I can’t remember if she told me her age before I told her about my roommate or after I told her about my roommate, but I feel like it was before because I kind of felt like I should’ve unfollowed her after. And what made it worse is that somehow my roommate saw her Instagram handle and followed her as well. Another instance was when this girl was being very goofy and playing the character and I was joking back and I ended up being invited into their Instagram group chat, where I found out they were also 16 so without saying anything, I left the group chat. So my worries if this was inappropriate or was it just a conversation that I probably should’ve cut short. I’m not sure but it’s starting to worry me. And just for context, I have no idea that girl or anybody else since that day and it NEVER went sexual at all. So yeah, that’s the story

Hello, this is my first day here. Ran across this app on social media. I hope you finish reading. Wanted to see if anyone was somewhere in my shoes that can possibly give me some advice. Ive been in a relationship with my partner for 6 going on 7 months, we will call them H for now. At first, everything was so prefect, laughs, conversations, so much affection. Recently caught H on a dating app 10 days after my birthday, on the 4month mark, and the app was hiding it in their hidden tab section on your iPhones. The conversations were all deleted except for one. That one conversation happened to be with one of my old friends that I fell out with because they were moving in a snake way. They reached out to me via social media and told me about H’s dating account. With me having the evidence, H was seeking out attention from other people while I was away at work. Asking to be best friends and asking for their social media information. When confronting H about the messages I had, they denied it being them claiming that it’s a fake page and they got those pictures off of H’s social accounts. H opened their phone to try and show me they didn’t have the app. When i seen the hidden tab I asked H to open it. H hesitated but proceeded to opening the tab. Boom. The dating app was in the tab with the “fake profile’s account and pictures” but the text messages were all gone. H agreed to delete the dating app and unfollow the accounts they asked for on their. H thennnn proceeded to try and negotiate to keep them on their account or they would delete social media in general. Of course that won’t sit right with me so we agreed to both be off social media. Everything got better until, H was using the restroom and was in there for a while so I went to the restroom and just talk with H. As I opened the door, H quickly swipes out the app and turns the phone off. I asked H to turn it back on and unlock it and open the hidden tab. The social medias we both agreed to get off of was in the hidden’s tab once again. Now my trust has completely been shattered but I still love H. However, my real point here is, I do think that H has damaged me and I don’t think I can’t trust them even tho H swears they won’t do it again. I do also feel like I am doing too much and putting my anger and frustration against H because of what they did. I am lost and confused and need some advice on what you would do?
