@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!

It wasn’t intentional. We live and learn. I think I was enabling some people on here. ?

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.

Hi! I’m new here!
A huge thank you to everyone. I am new to the app. I’m 28 years old and only recently discovered that my thoughts are a result of my OCD. It’s been so reassuring to hear other people managing the same thoughts I’ve been having.
Figuring it ...

Newly diagnosed and Curious.
Hi, I’m new to this app and newly diagnosed. Question for you all, What things did you normalize and do without a second thought that when diagnosed, you realized was actually your OCD? Mine was how concerned with germs I am. I hold my breath when I open a door so the rush of wind doesn’t infect my lungs from whatever is in the room. I thought everyone was really careful and concerned like me. But Ive learned it’s not normal the lengths I go to. What was yours?

Let me be honest.
Ok so I just downloaded this app like two days ago because I was looking for a OCD specialist. Maybe this is just my opinion but the posting’s on this app can be super triggering. If feels like even sharing your experience on an app like this can contribute to fueling OCD. So many people I see reassurance seeking, confessing and posting the same things multiple times to gain certainty. Makes me wonder if this app is counterproductive to the point of OCD treatment. I’m guilty of spending hours scrolling through the post trying to find people who relate to me, but in the end it makes me more anxious and fuels my OCD. Idk what do you guys think.
