Just try to sit with thoughts and the uncertainty and anxiety they bring. Try not to ask anyone for reassurance, that will just make it worse. I had to get to where I didn't talk to people about my OCD because not understanding they would start reassuring me. I had to tell my family not to reassure me. It can be very lonely but people just don't understand, so there first response is to give advice and reassurance. It doesn't happen over night but you can do it.

This is so true, practice makes (almost) perfect, remember you wanna aim for messy because OCD wants you be to exactā¦ youāre not listening to OCD anymore. Picture your future selfā¦ does your future (ideal - value moral self) do this? If no, neither do you anymore. When/if you talk about OCD you talk about it in the past āI used to obsess about ****, but not any moreā Keep with this, Iām not saying this works for everyone but did for me!

Reassurance Seeking
Iāve had physical compulsions on and off throughout my life. And rumination while not physical comes right along with it. Recently my brain has latched on to reassurance seeking. And it makes work horrible. I constantly feel the need to seek reassurance or validation from my boss or my coworkers or friends. I feel constantly judged and hyper analyze everything someone says to me or every interaction I have. I go home after work and run over all the times I spoke to or interacted with someone that day and Iām critical of how I presented myself, how I was perceived, what I said or didnāt say. I then go back the next day not only wanting to seek reassurance but also thinking I need to over explain myself to prevent any kind of damaging misunderstanding or miscommunication that would make them think poorly of me. Is this a common thing? Itās been the worst thing to go through as of late, my checking and things has gone down but this mental stuff is a whole new beast. How do you guys handle this kind of thing at work or at school?
