It is so frustrating to want reassurance but knowing it isn't good for me when I'm having an episode... I don't know what to do

i’d try sitting with the anxiety! if you feel uncomfortable, then let it be. we ask for reassurance because we can’t deal with uncertainty. but that’s how we slowly recover—we accept the uncertainty. it’s going to be okay!

Sit through it. It really doesn’t matter what other people say anyway. It’s all just opinion. You need to accept your anxiety/ guilt/ depression.
