Stop scrolling Reddit

Discussion

This is going to seem backwards because I am posting but I deleted Reddit but just thought I would come back to say something.

I think this forum and other forums can be helpful. But honestly for me, it’s best to stop looking at posts, trying to find similar stories/themes, and just constantly being on here. There are a lot of people that are very helpful that comment and I am super appreciative of that.

But really just stop looking on here to try to help yourself. More often than not something you read will trigger you or be different from what you are particular experiencing so it will trigger you into other spirals, etc.

I deleted it and won’t read this anymore. But just posting on here to give that advice to others. Maybe the best thing to do is just do the work, therapy, meds whatever you need and just stop engaging with your ocd at all to the best of your ability.
