@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. ?

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.

Just a vent
So I’m always telling people who say I’m not getting any help or advice on my post that maybe those people just don’t know what to say or they’re afraid of possibly making the situation worse… well while that is completely understandable I feel like the amount of help/advice/ interaction has went down drastically on this app.. again not complaining I’m thankful for everyone on here but I just wanted to know if others have felt the same way

vent (any opinions or words would be appreciated.)
I think all of us have made mistakes, wether in childhood or teenage years and adulthood. I’ve made terrible mistakes when I was younger ( childhood ) and I’ve been regretting my actions and dealing with severe shame and guilt, I came out okay in the end and been the ideal kid I should’ve been when I was younger. I changed but hearing people like close family saying they would judge past mistakes and you’re allowed to judge, makes me feel horrible. because only if they knew…

I’ve spiraled a lot in the past week
Every 30 minutes I spiral about something different. It’s exhausting. Right now I’m freaking out because I was finally feeling a little calmer, got on TikTok, and saw a post saying that comforting a guy or giving advice to a guy is considered cheating. Or “microcheating.” And so many people in the comments were agreeing. My OCD already gives me so much crap about having guy friends and comforting them during hard moments. Another post said that even giving advice when a guy texts you his problems is wrong, and like, I give advice so often. That one really struck me, because how on earth is that unacceptable? There was also a part about how hanging out with a guy is cheating too. I don’t really agree with that one either, but I guess I can understand that perspective a little more, especially if your partner feels uncomfortable with it. Still, it just added more fuel to the fire. I already doubt myself constantly, and then I read a comment that said, “*If you do any of that, all I’m hearing is ‘I’m a microcheater and proud.’*” I just started crying. I haven’t been able to sit with the uncertainty of whether I’ve been unfaithful or disrespectful to my boyfriend for months. Especially since my guy friend has given me comfort and advice too. Everything I do feels like cheating. ***Everything***. And seeing that just made it all feel so much worse.
