Don't seek the reassurance. Keep going.
I'm trying to not seek reassurance today. I'm not going to. I'm not going to. I'm NOT going to!! Ugh. Why OCD why?

@ERP is the way to be Thank you friend! THANK YOU!! I'm sure you've seen my many posts regarding the same ole thing. I'm not going to ask you for reassurance. I'm not! I'm not, I'm not!!
You can do hard things! You’ve got this!
@Lucy Van Pelt Thanks friend
Not going to give you any buddy , ask all you want 😂
@ERP is the way to be lol so you have seen my posts too right?
@ERP is the way to be And I know I shouldn't ask that probably too
@Anony1314 I’m not sure what post you are talking about .
@Anony1314 Are you seeing a ocd therapist?
@ERP is the way to be Yes friend. Sorry for asking that
@Anony1314 No problem! Ask whatever you want . This is the OCD family !
@Anony1314 How many sessions have you had with ocd therapist so far ?
@ERP is the way to be A lot friend! I've been diagnosed with POCD for a long time
@Anony1314 You said you are in therapy. I’m Asking how Long have you been in therapy
@ERP is the way to be For four months then I restarted therapy when I relapsed this year. Been in therapy for almost six months now.
@Anony1314 Ok great! Make sure to bring up everything to your therapist the same way you are doing here. Your ocd therapist will help you find ways to face those fears head on
@ERP is the way to be Thank you friend. I know you will not give me the reassurance I'm looking for, so I'm not even going to ask you for that. However, am I the unique, weird case of POCD? Like alone?
@ERP is the way to be Also people have said it was a compulsion. Do you agree?
@ERP is the way to be Sorry for asking that
@Anony1314 You don’t have to Apologize because we all understand what you are going through .
@ERP is the way to be Thanks friend. Just wanted to confirm you didn't think differently about me or think it wasn't OCD.
@Anony1314 “Maybe it is OCD, maybe it is not OCD” is the go to response for that
I feel this. I want to make a post about my current theme and it’s hard to resist
@r.m.1 Same friend! SAME
Needed this today. Thank you!
If I stop seeking reassurance will the thoughts become less?
I'm struggling. Not going to seek the reassurance I feel I NEED.
I’ve heard it’s not good to seek reassurance or give it because it lowers your tolerance to uncertainty. But how do I avoid seeking reassurance when my thoughts and doubts are so bad, I genuinely just don’t know anymore if I’m a bad person or if it’s just OCD? I know I’m supposed to sit with the uncertainty, but how can I do that when the uncertainty has me unable to trust my own brain? Especially when the OCD is real event and POCD? How can I not seek reassurance when I feel so alone and so abnormal and just don’t wanna feel that way anymore? In turn, I see so many people on here struggling so bad and my heart breaks for them. How can I give advice to towers without giving them reassurance and hurting them in the long run?
