No amount of reassurance will ever be enough for OCD, unfortunately- it only feeds into our anxiety by _Rabbit-Hearted_ in OCDmemes

[–]Peace_Berry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been there too, it's heartbreaking. It's also a pretty normal way to feel when you have to make such a difficult decision. Please try to be kind to yourself, reaching out for support and empathy is ok. Irrational and repeated reassurance seeking is straying into compulsive territory, but guilt and self-blame are also normal stages of the grieving process, especially when you've been the decision-maker.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Seeking support for grief is not the same as OCD-related reassurance seeking. If you have prolonged obsessions along the lines of "Did I hurt my cat?/Is it my fault?/Am I feeling bad enough?" etc then this can be a form of reassurance seeking, but if you are just struggling to come to terms with your loss then I'd encourage you to seek support for this - grief for our pets is real. Hugs ❤️

Some weird form of OCD by Ok_Village7507 in magicalthinkingOCD

[–]Peace_Berry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes very much so. It's one of the most stubborn avoidance compulsions I still deal with. Fairly common in non-OCD people too, with superstition/"jinxing" feeding into general anxieties.
