I want ask a question that any of you who are doing job does this ocd thoughts affecting you in your job as there would be lots of stress due to job and how you handle it

Yes. Mine severely affect my performance at work. It is extremely hard at times.

How do you deal with it

I work full time. I have been considering a leave while I do counselling, but so far I am still working. It certainly gets me distracted - like now - from time to time. But I have a pretty supportive boss who knows I am trying my best and believes in me. I think likely my boss is why I haven't taken a leave.

Sometimes, I’m so busy I don’t even notice my intrusive thoughts. My mind is focused and entertained so I’m more then likely not gonna have them. If it’s slow and I have nothing to do, it becomes a challenge. I’ll get them more but I just remind myself that it’s my brain just trying to give me something to think about. That it’s just my OCD and it’s not me. That usually helps. Sometimes I even try to sing songs or chew gum every time I have an intrusive thought. Just little things will make a difference. Stay strong❤️

Have you heard of the pomodoro technique? It can help deal with the constant distraction of your own mental health and OCD worries. https://lifehacker.com/productivity-101-a-primer-to-the-pomodoro-technique-1598992730 I think many people also find work to be a positive distraction if they can dedicate all of their attention to it and get lost in a flow state. As for dealing with stress at work: take breaks. Take walks. Meditate if there’s a space you can do this (I know tons of people at my work do this, so it’s more socially acceptable, but I get that’s it’s not at every work place.) Put on calming music. Outside of work: take care of yourself. Eat right. Get a good nights rest. Drink in moderation. There’s no silver bullet to it, but a lot of little efforts add up to a much better work day.

It's my all time dilemma. When I don't work and sit at home all day my OCD gets worse but when I work fulltime it gets worse too. But bills need to be paid.
