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 OCD 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 me😕 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 isn’t 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

Does this happen with you also, just few days or a month before exams ocd tends to increase so much that you can't study even when you sit with books after meditating and with a calm mind. Please tell me how to get out of this anxious feeling and study in a normal course. It is becoming harder day by day for me to get out of this.

Every time I try to talk about what I am feeling I feel like my mind goes blank and I don't know how to start I was diagnosed with OCD and I am taking medication and goes through CBT but I didn't feel like my life was back I didn't feel like I totally understand what is going on inside my mind and why this is happening and how. I feel like there is always something missed that I can't understand . The doctor and therapist didn't define what type of OCD I have But according to what I've read I think it's pure ocd cause I am always trying to understand every single thing and if I don't analyse I feel so frightened and not comfortable and these feelings come to me in different situation even if it's not about analysing. It comes when I draw ,study ,drive a car or just thinking about anything , Like when I think about how should I start a project or a job , I feel like I am soo lost like I am in nowhere so I feel panicked and dozens of thoughts come to my mind and I feel paralysed and soo overwhelmed . And these feelings just stay for a long time without knowing what triggered it so I don't know how to face then and they stay for a long time. I am not able to do anything in my life right now Neither study nor doing my hobbies . I feel like my life is frozen and I don't know if it will stay like this forever or not. Every time I feel like I controlled my ocd and know how to live with it it comes in a different shape that I can't recognise it and it sends me to the beginning and I feel like all my efforts were for nothing . Like it keeps beating me every time. I always afraid of my next setback and I keep feeling insecure and unstable until I have a relapse . Whenever I go through a problem, even the smallest problems, I feel stuck and suffocated and unable to face it with normal flexibility. I always focus on the details of each process so that if I forget how to do it or how I reached the ability to accomplish it, I remember how I did it before. And when I am unable to remember, the overwhelming feelings and frightening haunt me I feel like I'm monitoring my life in every detail so I feel safe, and if life goes smoothly and automatically,I feel frightened Sometimes I can face and deal with OCD in a good way to the point that I can return to my normal life rhythm, but suddenly the desire inside me to achieve and make up for what I missed takes me by surprise, and then an OCD attack takes me back to the beginning and reminds me that I am not as I was before. I feel that I cannot live and achieve what I want and face OCD at the same time. I am studying medicine and I am thinking of leaving it, even though I love it very much, but I am unable to study now, but if I leave it, what I am going through in my study of medicine in any other field will be repeated. Even when I am not doing anything I feel these feelings tie me up , like I feel I don't wanna do anything until these feelings disappear I have been in this state for 4 years. I feel that all my friends are moving forward and I am stuck. Is all of this OCD? I am very lost.

Hello everyone, Today I received my high school results and I got a score of 71%. At first, I didn’t feel very happy because I was expecting a higher grade since I wanted to study medicine or aviation and follow my dream. Right now, I’m also trying to heal, but my mom wants me to go to university. She said it would be a waste to lose a whole year without studying, and that it would be a waste of time. But honestly, I feel confused. Should I go to university or focus on my treatment until I gain more control over my symptoms? I struggle with sexual OCD, and I know university could be very triggering for me, especially since I’m still a beginner in my recovery. I’ve also thought about repeating the year to improve my score. My mom thinks that’s not a wise decision, and I also worry about money issues because I don’t want to be a burden on my family. I even searched for a job, but so far, I haven’t found one. Some of my friends even failed completely, so I know I should be grateful, but I still don’t know what to do. Do you have any useful advice? From your perspective, what would be the better path? I would really appreciate and respect your opinions.
