Try breaking a large task into smaller chunks or pieces. If you have to read a long book or many books, read a couple of chapters and take a break. If you have to cover a variety of topics, you can try to take breaks between topics. When you switch to a new topic try to find connections to the previous topic. This will help you remember the information. Try to make up examples that are real or relevant to your life, like if you are studying chemistry and are interested in food, think about chemistry in terms of food. Making up examples that apply to real life will help to. Try to take a short 5 minute break every 20-30 minutes, and then at the end of the hour take a 10-15 min break. I actually work at a university and have a lot of suggestions. Feel free to message me for more.

I like all of the above tips. I also gave my toughest exam when my ocd was at it pick,I can't even sleep. I would like to tell you that "remind yourself that "OCD is among the world's top 10 most debilitating disorder" and even after going through such ,pain and distress, you are giving the exam,not everyone has this courage,it itself is a big achievement. Just remember this. -best wishes for your exam.

@giuseppe I would say what helps me is structured time like I’ll write down my whole day and take periodic breaks so I don’t burn out. Focus first on what your struggling the most with and then figure out how long you can study for without losing focus. Take breaks and listening to music helps as well. Hope it goes well!

Tw I want to kill myself but I also want to be alive so badly. I have two exams this week and one tomorrow and I haven’t even started studying and I don’t know anything. I hate it because I was irritated when my parents kept telling me to study but I can’t do anything I just want to die I don’t even think the material is that hard there’s just a lot of it and I can’t even remember the last time I was able to focus I just wish I died right now what’s the point of studying if I’ll hate myself forever lmaooooooooooooo

Struggling today
Hey guys, I’m really struggling right now. I’m trying to study for a final and then all of the sudden I got hit with intrusive thoughts and now I’m dealing with a lot of compulsions. I’m not doing some of them but it’s getting hard not to. The thoughts won’t stop and it’s getting bad. Any support would be great. Thanks
