Self care
From this app, I got reported for asking for reassurance. Sorry guys. That wasn’t great. I will try to do better for self care

It's okay if you take one step backwards as long as you take two steps forward :)
I think I've been reported for reassurance in the past. Don't apologise as we all make mistakes. Just see it as a gentle nudge and reminder to focus yourself in a healthier direction. It does get better if you know how
Oh I see. So it’s not like you got reported for a violation or to authorities or something sinister like that. It was just letting you know that you were seeking reassurance and that is the entire point of ERP is to not seek reassurance. I wouldn’t take it in a bad way. Maybe re-examine your post and see if maybe that’s what you’re doing and try to learn from it and to work through the ocd induced anxiety.
@Confused on how to help Yeah I just realized even though the other posts having seeming reassurance, that post specifically got reported because a person commented a harmful response to me underneath. So the app warned me not do it again so that my ocd won’t worsen
@Ishil *seeking
What does that mean you got reported? By whom and to whom?
@Confused on how to help My post got reported by this app
I’m kinda laughing at myself because I’m extremely disappointed that I just now found out that seeking reassurance doesn’t help anything…y’all wanna guess why I’ve been scrolling this app for the last hour and a half? … welp someone tell me what to do because it’s the only thing that seems to help me…
Is anyone else frustrated with posts on this app? Every time I log on someone is either confessing or asking for reassurance. It’s hard to see everyone struggling so much, too. That’s how it was with the support groups as well. I had to stop going because it turned into people confessing and reassurance seeking. This safe space doesn’t feel so safe anymore. I’m so lucky my therapist is amazing and therapy is going well. I highly recommend starting therapy here if you haven’t already.
I made my ocd worse by going on Reddit I saw some posts by people that basically mean I am a bad person for what I’ve done but my therapist told me not to worry about it. I want to trust her but every time I feel a bit better I remember what the posts on Reddit said.
