Tips for maintaining a job with debilitating OCD?

following, because i had to quit mine it was so bad

I am fortunate enough to have a great manager who's compassionate and willing to accomodate but im just sick to my stomach with anxiety guilt & shame it almost feels impossible to focus

Typically im a great employee but i also have a physical condition that is irritated by stress and get these flare ups. So i just get overwhelmed with feeling bad for not keeping up with everyone around me

I have disability accommodations at my job. I’m allowed to miss work 3 days per month as needed no questions. I had to have my dr fill out paperwork and send it to my company’s disability management center

I think this may be the route i have to take. Its just hard for me to realize i have a disability

@Anonymous Aw I’m sorry. It is great to have them as a cushion so I know I can take care of myself first and keep my job. I don’t think of myself as disabled or mentally I’ll I just think of myself as someone who struggles with anxiety that gets in the way of work sometimes

Are you in treatment? If not, get a counselor that understands OCD and specializes in ERP. Its not fun or easy, but it works and will change your life.
