I was getting ready to post a question on this site and after I click "Share", a message shows up saying that it is important for us to avoid seeking reassurance and then forcing me to check boxes asking me to promise not to ask for reassurance and some other promises to make. Well how are we supposed to learn anything if we cannot ask questions?? I was trying to get insight from others here about an issue I am having but seems like now I am censored.

Hi Jerry, it is more there as a reminder. By all means ask any questions, just try not to make a habit of asking the same ones! As that would be reassurance seeking in a compulsive way, I hope this helps.

Hey! It's a like a friendly reminder of genuine good tips once you understand OCD. Once you start therapy, ERP you learn that reassurance seeking is another big compulsion! It's okay to ask questions, but there will come a time when you know the question is only fueling the hamster wheel of intrusive thoughts. The best tip I can give is start therapy, and start learning about OCD through websites, books and podcasts. Knowledge for the disorder is a big KEY to help yourself! 🔑😊

Oh pal just click on it without reading that's what I do.

My question was about how one can tell if something is OCD or just reasonable guilt.

Guess morality is subjective then. Example: A man steals $1.00 from roommate but has full intention to return it later. He then plays the lotto with the $1.00 and wins $1 million. Is it moral to keep the $1 million?? Legally he just owes the roommate $1.00. Personally I would feel great guilt keeping the $1 million. I can give this scenario to different people and get different answers. I wonder what a priest would say.
