Look up what encouragement is as it's different and maybe tell people close to you that know about your ocd about the benefits of encouragement instead of reassurance

I have not let myself ask for reassurance. I understand why you what to ask for it but I always feel better not asking for it. Reassurance is a strong compulsion it will make your ocd alot worse. I often still want to ask for reassurance but I did have a huge decrease in my ocd when I start stoping myself from doing it.

Hello
Is there anyone out there who has tips and tricks or getting out of a spiral or preventing one. Lately I’ve been struggling with not giving in to my compulsions but it’s so hard. Any good advice or tips on anything reducing anxiety or spirals would be so helpful.

Reassurance
One fun thing about what I’ve experienced is that even if I go to people for reassurance, more often than not it doesn’t help and makes things worse. I see how from an outside perspective it looks like denial and the moment I open my mouth to talk about it the instant thought is “you’re faking it, you know it’s true and you’re faking it”. And it’s great when people say maybe you are this or that like it’s no big deal, …but it is? And then again it’s like maybe they see something I don’t?
