Dang, as a support person what do you do? I just give continued reassurance as much and iften as they want but I guess thats not helping.

I always say to clients. it's not my job to convince you the thing you're afraid of certainly won't happen. it's my job to get you to tolerate a reality where that uncertainty will always exist. and that the thing your afraid of is always going to feel like a possibility

My therapist says “the first time is validation but if you ask again it’s for reassurance and that will stick you in a cycle you want to avoid” and that line helps me a lottttt.

I don’t ask for reassurance if I know that I won’t believe the answer. Most times I know I won’t trust the answer. It’s not about the knowing for me it’s the trusting myself and knowing myself. If an unknown bothers me and the truth won’t reveal itself in a timeline I’m cozy with I discuss with myself if it’s something I can sit with or if I need to move on and then I make those moves.

I feel like ive got a pretty good system of. the first time someone reassures me, I pin the message or screenshot it, that way I can look back at it. they don't have to tell me again.

I seek reassurance until my loved ones get annoyed, then I hate myself for asking and think they hate me, so then I need reassurance they love me too and the cycle just never ends…

I’ll ask it once and then go “I’m not allowing myself to say anything further. Don’t ask me anything about this question unless you need clarification please.” It’s so hard but has been tremendously helpful for my sanity

its like divesting from your own perception and appraisal of the situation.

I think I may have reassurance ocd as I cannot trust my own judgement and it also goes with my teachers that they’ll tell me we will get back to a task but we have to move on and then 1. I can’t move on unless I’ve finished the task and 2. I keep making the teacher reassure me that we will get back to it as o don’t trust them

but like if I just check that all my cats are in my house every time I leave then they won't die from somehow getting outside...

what’s it mean when someone’s reassurance doesn’t reassure you? for example let’s say you constantly think you’re doing something illegal and you can’t tell yourself you’re not even though you know it’s just your ocd and your loved ones tell you constantly that you don’t but it doesn’t help at all.

So don’t seek reassurance. Did I get it right? Am I right? Is that right?

My therapist will just say “what do you want me to say about that?” When I’m doing it so I get nothing and I have to confront what it is I’m trying to validate.

I don’t know if this is the same thing, but I will often ask those around me (family) to check something that I have probably already looked at 100 times (the time an event starts, whether the door is locked, whether the stove is off, etc.). While it can help sometimes, it makes me feel like I am acknowledging that I am incapable of dealing with it on my own… so I end up checking it again and again to avoid that conflict, which only instigates the problem further. It also doesn’t help when those people clearly show signs of exasperation at my request, or even act as though they are babying me… there just doesn’t seem to be a good middle ground.
