OCD.app - Self help + Therapy

I’m a longtime user of this app, and downloaded it in 2019. This app was literally a lifesaver before all the AI video content made it unusable to me. I mostly used this app during episodes when I needed support and I liked that I didn’t have to hear anyone’s voice or look at anyone’s face because it can be aggravating and overwhelming. I also liked the simple haptic feedback when you accepted a positive affirmation instead of the empty praise pop up that is really quite distracting when it’s in the middle of the screen. I’m not sure what benefit adding AI visual shorts was supposed to give but I really think you should remove them. This app worked the best when it was simple and straightforward. now I feel like I can’t navigate thought it easily or track my progress. you’ve also made previously free modules restricted to the paid version. I understand this from a business perspective, but I’m frustrated that what used to be an accessible resource for people who are struggling is now blocked behind a paywall.

This app is honestly a very helpful app to use for someone who suffers either OCD. It explains what you might be facing if you have OCD (intrusive, irrational, unwanted thoughts, images, and urges). It allows you to answer some questions to reflect on the level of OCD you might be experiencing, and how much it affects you on a daily basis. It also provides small videos and an activity each day explaining methods you could prevent those obsessions and compulsions, allowing you to truly reflect and take each day one step at a time, and apply those helpful tools/ tips to your daily life. It is like a form of cognitive behavioral therapy that helps you identify and change those negative and unwanted thoughts/ behaviors after watching the clips and doing the exercise. This allows your mental health and well-being to improve everyday after completing the “lesson” of the day in the app.

10/10 recommend this to anyone. I think everyone could find this helpful in their lives. Also, I struggle with the following, depression, anxiety, bpd, autism, adhd, compulsive reasoning, circular thinking and not being able to stop until I have a specific feeling in order to move on, obsessive thinking, catastrophic thinking, magical thinking, (if I take the same routes to my daily destination and avoid the potholes, then i will be safe from a car accident), etc if any of these sound remotely relatable, then this app is for you. Will not regret the money spent. It’s about the same price as one and a half therapy sessions. . . It saved my life/sanity and helps me ground from my cognitive dissonance.
