You can always choose what you see on it. Like the subs you follow or common posts you look up or upvote are what appear on your feed.

I get it socal media can cause thoughts and triggers but it's also a erp exercise bc it's stuff that maje you uncomfortable with my social media I'll see it and then delete or hide the post or just acknowledge it abd scroll it's uncomfortable at first but you completely forget about it when you scroll through posts you like so it's a win win your standing up to ocd and you get to see posts you like to ease the uncomfortableness! You got this!

You could try out site blocker so you physically can't go on that site, or you could download an app that controls and limits the amount of hours of a day you are able to use certain apps. It has a record keeper for that and auto locks the apps once that time is up. It's hard to stop googling compulsions like reddit cold turkey. So the app suggestion could be a good way to start, and gradually lessen the amount of time per day you let yourself be on the app until you don't do it anymore.

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.

Has anyone deleted social media because of triggering things? I find it helps as a distraction when I am anxious but then it can be extremely triggering when people talk about being sick or a news article talks about an illness being spread.

Question
Is it a compulsion to get rid of social media. I feel extremely triggered by social media, even before I had ocd my boyfriend told me to get off tik tok because it was feeding so much bullshit into my head and making me worry about my relationship because there was so many cheating video things on there… I took myself off Facebook when me and bf broke up months ago, we got back together but social media was one of our biggest problems in our relationship so he still chooses to not have me on there which is fine. But I sorta just don’t even see a point in having it? At the same time tho, I don’t want to go on there also because I get triggered easily by things. Was thinking of if I go back on there one day to just make all new accounts for things, if I choose or want it again one day…
