I got a new book yes
[2022-11-26 01:28:07 PM] : I got a new book yesterday called "Needing to Know for Sure". The way they describe the pain is CRAZY accurate. I'm sure the authors are not copywriters, but the book description is great copywriting material. By the second paragraph, I was like: "shut up and take my money!" :take-my-money:
Just wanted to share here, because I'm sure other people might suffer from this too (reassurance seeking).

“How do I know I made the right decision?” “What if I’m wrong?” “I need to know for sure.”
Do you have thoughts like these—thoughts that cause you to second-guess yourself, and lead to anxiety, stress, and worry? Do you find yourself repeatedly checking your email for no reason, asking others for their opinions about something again and again, or lying awake at night overanalyzing and planning ahead in an attempt to feel less anxious? If so, you probably have a problem with compulsive reassurance seeking. The good news is that you can break free from this “reassurance trap”—this book will show you how.
In this unique guide, you’ll find proven-effective tips and tools using CBT to help you tolerate uncertainty, face specific worrying scenarios, and gradually reduce the compulsion to incessantly seek reassurance. Most importantly, you’ll learn to deal with those pesky “doubt attacks” and trust your own judgment."
