When ever I am on instagram, I feel like I have to screen record when I'm scrolling so that I can look back and see if I wrote anything awful.
i screen record too!! anytime i’m online shopping or on somewhere that has comments, i feel like i am gonna write something bad that is gonna hurt somebody.
@honeybee17 Yes!! I thought I was alone. I do it for every place that has comments too.
This is a compulsion. Yes, it relieves your anxiety short term. But it also strengthens the intrusive thought and makes your OCD worse. You need to sit with the uncertainty. Otherwise, you will just stay stuck in the OCD cycle
i’m trying to sit with the uncertainty, but it’s really hard because i’m afraid i created harm for someone and it’s like, how can i move on and try to live “normal” when i have this lingering thought.
