Also another thing I have this issue where I will for example give a donation to charity or something and then I’m like I could always give more and then feel bad for not doing more for God

Remember God loved you first and then you loved Him. We could never do enough to pay God back for all the love He has given us. We can’t earn His love! And to answer your reassurance or research question, if you are doing it to “clean up” “fix” or “forget” scary, bad, or dirty thoughts then yes your research is reassuring. If you just want to look something up because you want to then it may or may not be reassurance.

Remember that God wants our hearts. He also created us to enjoy His creation and to enjoy this world. It’s doesn’t have to be either or...it can be both. We are called to serve others but we are also called to love ourselves correctly. If making art helps you to relax and enjoy life, that’s great! This is always a great reminder to me: Upward - Love God completely Inward- Love myself correctly Outward - Love my neighbors compassionately.

Do you have a therapist? Or a good friend or mentor who understand your OCD issues and can help you sort through questions like these? I think one-on-one conversations with person who really know you would be good; they can help catch it when you switch from asking a question to obsessing about it.

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 believe I have moral OCD and I reassurance seek about things because my brain genuinely cannot recognise if I should be upset/worried/ashamed about something or not. My brain just gets locked on one thought and cant get any real perspective. I read a post today on a OCD support group on fb where someone said "bad people often want reassurance to make them feel better about who they are/what they have done and get this reassurance online from people who dont know the full story about them". And it really triggered me because it made me think, am I not a good person? Is this really OCD? what if it's not and I am doing exactly what that person said? And that was so scary to me. I dont think I'm a bad person, I'll admit to making mistakes in the past like every other human on the planet but my intentions were never bad ones. And then I feel scared for even worrying about what that person said bc why would I worry after reading that? I feel like my brain just cant distinguish from reality and the reality that its created and its terrifying.
