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.

Do/did you have this issue? Please help😪
When an intrusive thought comes I can’t just say “that’s not true” and just move on. I always feel like I have to disprove the thought and be able to say it with confidence but the problem is that the ocd doesn’t allow me to feel and say it with confidence so I get stuck for hours or even days. How can I stop feeling like I need to do this?

Posting for reassurance and not getting comments due to that is so hard. OCD is so hard..

Hand washing
I need advice. I’m constantly washing my hands after going to the bathroom/touching something I find gross, but it doesn’t stop at just washing. I have to keep washing til I feel right (usually 3-4 times). It also isn’t just my hands, I go all the way up my forearms. I know in my head that once is enough. But I can’t kick this repetitive behavior. I know I should just start only washing it once but I don’t know if I can handle the panic that will come after. I need advice/tips if anyone’s gone through something similar what worked for you. Im just sick of this
