I tried to reserve some therapy sessions with a good psychologist in my country but he gave me an appointment time for two months later.In my country,There aren't many good therapists and this one is the best in OCDā but I'm really worried now and I can't be patient until two months later ,because I have different exams now and two months are reallyyy long for meš And about medications that you said,I heard medications can make us addict , so I'm afraid to take them :(

I find that when I leave studying too close to the test it makes my anxiety worse which makes my thoughts worse, which leads me to not be able to study and the cycle continues. Some things I do is: take a lot of breaks! ( not everything has to be done at once) be forgiving to yourself cause studying is hard for most people! Use distraction techniques or anything to self soothe that isnāt a compulsion! ( I like sensory objects that make me feel safe) I hope this can help

@Pegah There's the features of this app, as well as online work sheets/videos/books. Just be careful of common down falls. Like some people trigger their anxiety for ERP than suppress it

I started dealing with OCD when I became fixated on health issues, particularly the fear of contracting a life-threatening disease. If I experienced any kind of medical symptom, no matter how small, that even remotely hinted at something potentially fatal, it would drive me crazy, and I couldnāt stop obsessing over it. Then one day, I started having intrusive thoughts about accidentally hitting someone with my car, and I would end up driving in circles to check if I had. Eventually, I found myself overwhelmed by a flood of new obsessive thoughts and compulsions. One day, while I was at the park, a squirrel came near me, and for some reason, I felt like it attacked me. I Googled it and learned that squirrels could carry rabies, which spiraled me into a deep fear of rabies. I became consumed with the thought I received a bite from a squirrel, raccoon, or bat any time Iām in areas that trigger me. It started off only being inside then transferred to even being in my own home. This made me obsess over every physical sensation in my body, compulsively checking to make sure nothing was wrong. One compulsion that I hated the most would to be putting rubbing alcohol on me to make sure that I had no open wounds. Every day feels like Iām walking around in a fog of anxiety, constantly worrying that I wonāt even make it to old age. Sometimes, it gets so overwhelming that I just want it all to end. It stresses me so bad at times to where my brain feels like Iāve been studying all day.

Recently, Iāve been struggling a ton with what I eat/put into my body? Iām a first year college student with a few different health issues (including IBS), and lately itās been hard for me to find food on campus that doesnāt upset my stomach. I also have pretty severe emetophobia, and feel extremely anxious when I feel sick. The ironic thing is that being anxious makes me feel even worse, so I end up sticking myself in an impossible loophole. My OCD has taken hold of these fears over the past few months, and itās been such a struggle. Especially since people have been getting food poisoning from various dining halls on my campus lately. My OCD has gotten so bad that sometimes Iām too afraid to eat food other than what I buy myself. I feel so trapped. I donāt want my OCD to affect my physical health or prevent me from eating, bc I love eating!! Itās the fear of getting sick thatās the problem. And itās even harder when everything is so unfamiliar. Just wondering if anyone could relate. Advice is appreciated!
