I kinda agree I’m new here and still feeling it out 50/50 for me. I do appreciate people’s stories they definitely can be relatable and help with isolation but the constant reassurance seeking us a bummer.

I think there is a big difference between sharing your story or current experiences and seeking reassurance and one thing holds true to all recovery show up and do the work.

Just wondering, why do you believe this app negatively impacts people with OCD?

Because most people come on here and get instantly triggered or you can see from their posts they want reassurance. Reassurance doesn’t help, and as crippling as this disorder is, you have to do ERP in order to see a change.

@HJOx I understand that, but I would say it matters where you are with your OCD. I do agree if you are asking for reassurance consistently then, yes, you shouldn't be on here. However some people, like me, feel better talking to people and relating with others on here in a civil and friendly matter without seeking reassurance.

@EmmaFaFe Which I also understand ☺️ but I see a lot of the same people (which you may too) asking for constant reassurance, and they only make themselves worse. X

@HJOx Yes, I definitely agree with that! Unfortunate that some people don't listen or comply with the TOS check boxes before posting :(
