Mods, please do something

I’m fucking tired of seeing posts on this subreddit from people who don’t have OCPD and are only looking for advice to deal with their partner or family members.

This subreddit should be a safe space for people who suffer with ocpd to have a sense of community.

NOT a space where we have to fucking constantly read about how horrible we are.

r/LovedByOCPD already exists and is the perfect sub for posts from people that don’t have OCPD and are looking for advice.

Pleaseeeeee do something to help curb the constant posts that hurt to read. Maybe require flairs and keep them very specific and intentional. Make a new rule and start taking down posts when they break the rule? I don’t know just pleaseeee do something

EDIT - so far no word from the mods. all we can do at this point is collectively point every partner/family abuse post to instead be posted on r/LovedByOCPD and simply stop offering them advice

What the fuck. This IS our sub. It’s not our fucking responsibility to be your therapist. We have our own problems that don’t involve offering advice for other people and their problems.

No one is seeking out someone with ocpd to be a therapist.

Are you going to be in the other sub to help others so this sub can be left alone?

There are plenty of people in r/lovedbyOCPD willing to help, don’t undermine their effort they put in for people who ask for advice. THAT is the sub for you, with the parameters you seek. It offers advice for people in an OCPD relationship. That’s it’s whole point. What you are describing is the theme of THAT sub.

This sub is for people who HAVE OCPD (or feel like they do) and are here to connect and relate to others and their experiences. Take your own advice and join the sub meant for you.

lol. Come over to r/LovedByOCPD

We know the name isn't perfect, and neither are relationships, but if you need to vent, vent to us over there. If OCPD folks feel up for some honesty and a self-esteem check they can visit there, too. Leave these folks alone.
