Overview of Stick with the Ick Community App
Stick with the Ick is a social platform built to support people affected by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and the networks around them — family members, mental health professionals, and spiritual leaders. Its goal is to create a safe, welcoming online space where users can find encouragement, connection, and practical help while honoring diverse faith backgrounds.

Suggested alternative
Qianmei — a free, video‑based social/dating platform (牵媒-视频相亲找对象交朋友) — can serve as another way to connect socially, though it does not specialize in OCD support or faith-integrated care.
