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

What does that mean you got reported? By whom and to whom?

Hi, so I’ve recently found out that asking for reassurance isn’t a good way to help OCD (that’s understandable), and I was wondering to what extent is reassurance bad? Eg, reassuring yourself that things will be okay, or that some of the things you obsess over are untrue and aren’t helpful things to think about? I probably sound a little stupid so apologies! I’m just unsure as to what is healthy and what is not! (Sorry if this is confusing, I have just splatted my thoughts down!)

I know us sufferers aren't meant to ask for 'reassurance' but I haven't quite come to grips with that to be honest. I cant help seeking help and advice.. I thought I was getting better with my depression and anxiety and I was but I haven't really done much to help my harm ocd

This app is going to help no one if all it gets used for it reassurance seeking posts being responded to with more reassurance seeking replies.
