Reassurance isn’t reassuring after awhile?

Because reassurance is a compulsion and feeds the OCD.

Yep ^ it just feeds your OCD

Reassurance is basically a white lie and they all tend to lose validity eventually once you realise its bs. Still, it doesn't stop some seeking it even though it does nothing for them.

It’s the way ocd works, the more you give it the more it wants. Very Similar to the way drug addiction works. Just remember when it’s comes to checking and reassurance “1 time is To many and 1000 is never enough”

Sorry i know this doesn’t answer your question but I wanted to remind u ur not alone!!! Been there and still struggling now with the reassurance just not being as comforting as it was. OCD always wants more and more out of us, and it can gradually grow until it’s takes up most of the day! (which has happened to me)

I suffer alot with reassurance and self reassurance but I just leave it uncertain with a maybe ,maybe not or agree with the thoughts best way to stop compulsions
