Look up what encouragement is as it's different and maybe tell people close to you that know about your ocd about the benefits of encouragement instead of reassurance

I have not let myself ask for reassurance. I understand why you what to ask for it but I always feel better not asking for it. Reassurance is a strong compulsion it will make your ocd alot worse. I often still want to ask for reassurance but I did have a huge decrease in my ocd when I start stoping myself from doing it.

Advice?
I’m having a big OCD relapse and would like to hear anyone’s tips on how to be present and healthily deal with these intrusive thoughts and the “need” to preform compulsions. Thank you!!

Why no reassurance?
Hello! I just got diagnosed with OCD a week ago and joined the app today to find a sense of community. Since my understanding of treatment is minimal at this point, I'm confused why everything on here tells us not to seek or give reassurance? If someone could explain the reasoning behind that it would be greatly appreciated, as I want to make sure I'm not only watching out for it in my personal life but also using this app appropriately.
