OCD worsening with Exams
So I’ve had ocd since I was about 9 and I never knew what it was untill I was 15 (I suffered in silence and then had my worse hit at 15 and finally decided to google what was wrong with me) I finally spoke out about it and then was able to slowly recover over the last two years by doing some exposure threapy exercises. (I’ve been unable to see a actual specialist as my parents don’t believe me but I’ve told friends, a teacher and I’ve been using NOCD) anyway the point it I’ve always suffered with OCD but over the last year and a half my OCD basically went away other then the fact I still struggle with contamination OCD. I just started my exams and now all of a sudden my false memory OCD is coming back to haunt me because stress of exams and I am unsure what to do to help calm it because I can’t just “accept its OCD” because I know that the stress from the exams will just completely make that irrelevant and now im stuck in a place where my OCD is taking over and I can’t focus on my exams. Any tips ?😅
