@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.

Hello all, I just found out about this app! I’m pretty sure I have OCD, but also not sure. I’d line to discover more about to and hear what other experiences are.

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?

Im new here so im not exactly sure what im supposed to be doing but my therapist recommended that I start using this platform. I have had OCD my whole life as does my mom and her parents, but I never had a formal diagnosis until about 5 years ago. Recently my OCD has been absolutely taking over my life and it is just so mentally exhausting. I know there’s nothing “wrong” with me but I really wish that I just didn’t have OCD. I really just want to be able to exist without all of these obsessions. I’ve seen a few posts from people just talking about experiences so if anyone has any tips on how best to use the platform that would be great! On a funnier note - I’m pretty open about my OCD and I mention it to a coworker and there response was “Do you really have that or is that just something you say”. And my response was oh yeah no I really have it and it really impacts every minute of everyday in my life and they were just like 😶
