tiktok and ocd

does anyone else have like videos of ppl with gofundme’s or like sick animals who need donations pop up on your fyp? i sometimes get overwhelmed when they do pop up bc it kickstarts my compulsions and i start praying for them and then share their video to boost it. and that’s fine, i want to help. but the problem is that on my fyp it pops up back to back sometimes and then i get really overwhelmed. i was just wondering if anyone else feels this way 😭

Most of those videos are scams, so don’t feel too bad about it. Yes the people and pets in pictures are real, but those are ppl using someone else’s pictures for money

Yes… the TikTok algorithm has been extremely harmful for me, as it enables me to keep compulsing and getting reassurance from certain types of content. The more you engage, the more it will show. I’ve blocked a bunch of keywords in content preferences in my settings and that’s been really helpful in eliminating certain types of content that I know is triggering. You can do this on instagram as well.

It’s okay to feel emotional when you encounter them, but know that a lot of them are scams and are taking advantage of kind and loving people like you who will encounter it and can’t help but engage. I stopped feeling bad after awhile once I began picking up on the scams—people who beg for money by using sympathy to go viral tend to just…Not be decent people. Not the ones you’d want to donate to or support. But there are always exceptions, so if you are doubting go check their page—you will often find their page shows NO pet animal whatsoever. 😅

Religion ocd question- reply if you are religious

So i am a Catholic. My brain keeps saying that if I don’t make big posts on social media it means I am embrassed or ashamed of my religion. I am not at all!!!!!!! Idk why but I don’t want to make big posts about my religion. I always post on social media but my brain guilt trips me when I dotn make some posts. It keeps accusing me. I keep having anxiety like i am doing something so bad. For instance today it said that if I don’t make this post with a paragraph about my religion it means I am embrassed or ashamed. I am not so confused bc i am not not posting it becaue i am embrasses or ashamed or shamed wheatver. It’s not becaue of anything bad if i was ashamed or embrassed i would know but i am not. I always make posts me not posting a whole paragraph dotn me being ashamed or embrassed or don’t want to be judged it i was worried i would be judged i woudl t make teh posts i just don’t want to i guess seem like I am over doing it? Not that u can ever but idk i am not ashamed or embrassed i don’t care if people judge me for my religion or my posts i just don’t want to overdo it? I guess I don’t want people to be like “she posts a lot about that” or stuff. Is that normal? It’s not becaue i am ashamed or embrassed. M’y ocd won’t leave me alone. I guess I don’t want it to be in a ocd way? Someone help- if ur not religious don’t reply to this. But me not wanting people to think taht i post too much about it isn’t me being ashamed or embrassed u know. Because I don’t care about being judged for my religion.

Urgent- reply if you are religious! (Catholic)

I already make a post about this but i need to hear more thoughts on this. Let’s be clear- i am not asking for reassurance i just want to know how to deal with this ocd. Basically, my ocd keeps doing this thing were, for instance if i don’t - make a religious post - report a religious post -Post certain tik toks (Examples of many) It accuses me of being ashamed or embrassed of my religion. I AM NOT!!!!!!!!!!! It makes me post so much (not too much) but I don’t want to NOT in a bad way- i just don’t want to all the time. I feel like religion isn’t all about that and it keeps accusing me. Just now i saw a photo of Priests. They were wearing a certain hat. I ddint want to repost it becwsue 1. Not bc of anything really 2. I am sad to say I ddint like the hat- i felt bad about it, ocd make me do compulsions over it. I now like and appreciate the hat. I make the repost. But I just feel like ocd is making me think if I don’t do soemthing I am ashamed or embrassed and it is getting out of hand. How do i separate ocd from this???????

triggered by media (TW)

i always want to watch new tv shows and lately especially i’ve been getting triggered by a lot of them. anyone else experience this? it gets to the point that i feel like i can’t continue watching the show or i’m doing something wrong, even if i enjoy it/want to continue watching. i recently started watching the menéndez brothers documentary on netflix and i’m intrigued and want to watch the rest but then my brain tells me i’m enjoying it for entertainment purposes or “profiting” off of someone’s trauma or awful experience. i’m more so interested in the case and watching the court experience but i fear i won’t be able to finish it now. anyone else have this issue?
