Unless you've had OCD and dealt with it (especially without medication or therapy), then you really don't know how easily that can happen when it escalates.

Ok then. Heaven forbid someone in 2026 not open their mouths to spout opinions on things they’ve never actually studied or encountered.

Cool. I'm not saying OCD isn't real. I'm saying that most of these mental issues people are having these days could be solved by an outside hobby and regular exercise. Crying and complaining about it on the internet isn't gonna fix anything. Go fishing, go for a hike, ride a bike, ect. Growing up my family always put an emphasis on being outside and enjoying God's creation. People separate themselves from it and wonder why they are having issues.

I don't discount exercise or being outdoors for mental health but i get both of those in abundance

Some can, some can’t. Coming in here and calling people soft and saying “go outside” without actually knowing the person solves what, exactly?

I posted a couple of weeks ago about getting diagnosed with ocd. In learning more about it it's manifesting currently in the form of moral scrupulosity. Anybody deal with this directly or indirectly? It's been a struggle for several days to not let it blow up my life.
Listen, I'm going to post something that will seem heartless and cruel to those who don't battle OCD but it's truly not. Stop asking for reassurance. Stop googling. Stop seeking to lessen the anxiety by finding reinforcement that you aren't the things your thoughts center on. Stop going to the internet. It only serves to reinforce that your thoughts have meaning and must be addressed which only strengthens the anxiety cycle and makes them stickier. The subject of your thoughts are irrelevent and even if you could "neutralize" them, the subject matter will just shift to something else. The only way out is through brother and I know that's incredibly terrifying but it's the truth. It took me a long time and I don't take any medication for it but the diet and exercise stuff coupled with radical acceptance that my thoughts are just thoughts and don't need to be addressed has helped me a ton.

Mental illness is at an all-time right now when we have the most information and the most treatments we've ever had. Go outside. Get a hobby. Exercise. Pray. That would solve the majority of people's issues. Of course some people this won't help but coddling them isn't helping them. Sometimes harsh advice is exactly what they need.

My OCD is a kller, but I revel in my moral scrupulosity.

I don't disagree entirely, but also, sometimes people give advice when they don't have the slightest clue what they're talking about. On some subjects, I feel like you should have at least some background knowledge before you spout off. I like to use MMA fights as an example. To the untrained person, "just get up" seems like the most logical and helpful advice in the world. Reality though? Not so much.

That's 100% right and straight out of my therapists mouth.

How about instead of trying to be intellectually superior by posting a subset of OCD, that most people have never heard of, without a brief explanation of what it is, that you STFU and touch yourself?

Yep. It jacked me up for years but I basically got to a place where I assumed that if a behavior is intended to lessen my anxiety, good shot it's a compulsion of some kind and thus don't do it. The truth is, no matter how many times I googled, it never made me feel better for more than a brief time and it only made it comes back even worse later.

Me personally, when I researched and learned what intrusive thoughts/thinking was, I realized that it wasn't all that big of a deal, and the thoughts weren't really real, but just a projection of my anxiety, and my fear of doing something "wrong." Actually its more of the "thought" of doing something wrong, and how people would perceive and judge me. I'm a people person, and a people pleaser, and I'm assuming you are too. Its fairly normal for people like us to have intrusive thoughts. I eventually just accepted it and stopped worrying about it, and stopped assigning any validity to such thoughts. I have had less and less intrusive thinking since, to where now I hardly even have them at all.
There are two voices in your head: doubt, and assurance/confidence. You just have to learn how to let the right one be the one that you hear.

Download the Headspace app and commit to it. The root cause is an over active mind and entertaining all of those thoughts. You need to let go and let the mind come to a natural place of rest.

Perhaps if you deleted the lie about Auburn being a 9-time national champion in your profile you'd start to feel normal.
Deal with it
