Sorry, I was being vague. My OCD therapy involves denying myself the habitual compulsions that make me temporarily feel better, and reassurance seeking is a big factor in those compulsions, feeding the vicious cycle.

It's NOT forbidden to ask for support. It's specifically the reassurance that is the problem. My strong desire was to list the things I was worried about, and have people respond with "You're being silly. Of course you're alright." I was denying my obsession its power over me by refusing to talk about the things I was obsessing on and asking for reassurance that I was okay. I've had the most success with this approach, so I am continuing this process as best I can.

Sorry for the confusion. Thank you everybody for the concern.
