My OCD wants reassurance

[Cat Dancer]

It want someone to tell me it will be ok and I can do things I think I can't do. When is wanting reassurance pathological and when is it ok? That is what I struggle with, a healthy balance. Or is it possible to try to balance things when you have OCD? Do you have to take a hardline stance of just telling the OCD it's just thoughts? Is it ever ok to want someone to help or tell you things can work out?

I think we all need to hear those words whether we have an illness or not hun You can acknowledge that it is just an OCD thought and let it go through but i think it is ok to ask for reassurance if you need it.
