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.

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.

Trigger
Idk anymore it feels like being on here is a trigger. Every time I see a minor post on the app, my intrusive thoughts go haywire and then my brain says maybe you should comment something inappropriate and i literally don't wanna fucking do that. It's the last thing I want to do. And now im scared that I commented something crude on someone's post. obviously, when I went to check there was nothing now my brain is saying "you commented and then deleted". I want to think it's something I wouldn't do, but why are the images in my head so real. Children should be safe. I feel like I need to be locked away. Someone please help me.

Thinking of deleting NOCD app
I feel like having the app is kind of keeping me stuck. I stopped doing therapy after my therapist left abruptly, but I like having the community here. I would feel like I’m abandoning y’all, but it might be better for my mental health? I’m just not sure. I feel like deleting is giving in somehow, but I can always redownload. For the friends I’ve made on here, just know that if I go, I still very much care about you and your wellbeing and recovery! ❤️
