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.

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

@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

Hi there! Thanks so much for posting on here. Have you looked into treatment through NOCD, or began the ERP process yet. Some thing that I have found helpful during work is on my breaks, doing an exercise or exposure and then doing my best to move on from that moment. That way, I’m still doing the work I need to for my OCD, but trying to leave the distress after I do the exposures. I have found that a trusted coworker is very helpful in this situation I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this distress, but I can promise you it will get better! Don’t give up! You are stronger than you know!

How do I get out of a Flare Up
Im having a OCD specifically contamination OCD flare up all month and I don’t want to feel this way going into March, I’ve thrown out clothes, towels, stayed up for hours doing compulsions, washed my hands till they crack and bleed, I have washing pilling up cause I’m so overwhelmed by all the extra things I’ve added cause I thought it was contaminated. It’s completely draining me to the point where I’ve become sleep deprived and are avoiding part of my home because they are deemed contaminated to me…I only moved in a few months ago, I had a roach problem and using baits and insecticides really messed with my ocd too. anyone have any tips or tricks to make this easier? I wasn’t doing this bad in January :( thankyou in advance :)
