@Crazylady don’t let it get to you too much. People may have seen your advice as helpful or they might have seen it as reassurance. It’s okay! I’ve a had a couple of comments flagged too. It’s hard not to give reassurance sometimes because we want to help. You didn’t mean it and you probably didn’t set off a chain of disaster. If we want reassurance really bad, we’ll get it elsewhere if not here. People have to choose for themselves to not seek it. The reason nOCD does this is to help us recover. Really, it’s okay. We’re all learning and growing together on this app!
Ok thanks 0823 ?
It wasn’t intentional. We live and learn. I think I was enabling some people on here. ?
What happened ??
What guidelines are there and where are they?
Apparently a lot of my comments were flagged and just realized it. I didn’t know what I was giving advise on was reassurance. I thought that offering advise about how I have overcome certain OCD themes was ok. Or helping people to see that their thoughts were OCD and not reality. I didn’t know that was wrong. I think I even offered someone medical advise. Now my mind is racing thinking I set off a chain of disaster for a lot of people.
Reese if you click on your profile pic there is a section that says “guidelines”
Trigger warning? I don’t know what to do. I like this app, I like how I can express myself, seek and offer help. But it’s becoming a compulsion to read everyone’s post and afraid I’ll miss something important, something I can relate to or help with. Should I stop? I can’t check as often as I used to and I was okay in the beginning.
So this is why I hate this app. It’s designed to help people with OCD. But God forbid you post something that makes someone “uncomfortable” News flash: we’re all uncomfortable. You post something and people report it. So I guess only people with lesser forms of OCD receive support on here.
From this app, I got reported for asking for reassurance. Sorry guys. That wasn’t great. I will try to do better for self care
