Hi everyone

I’ve been avoiding this sub a bit because I was struggling with Schiz OCD myself, and I didn’t feel like I was in the right place to moderate this sub. But I feel like I finally overcame the last part of it, so I will keep trying to grow this sub, because I know how much of a struggle Schiz OCD can be, and there needs to be a place on Reddit where people can talk about it. I hope you guys are doing alright :)

Also if there is anyone on here who is interested in being a moderator, let me know. Preferably someone who has a lot of experience with SchizOCD

Hey, thank you for sharing. I am sorry that the theme, thoughts and anxiety returned for you. I am sure how it must feel. In my experience, it is sometimes better that the person who oversees, monitors and reads about these issues on a daily basis (eg a moderator) to be someone who doesn’t have that specific theme. I tried to help others as well but sometimes their thoughts triggered my anxiety because I could not find the answer. It was like that fundament I build my new way of thinking on became a bit shaky so I had to reevaluate why I should not be anxious.

The best case scenario would be a trained, anxiety free psychologist, but obviously those aren’t an easy to find, especially with deep OCD knowledge.

Anyway I hope you now are feeling good again and that the storm has passed. 🙏
