I’m not sure about you, but I’m perfectionistic by nature and tend to put a lot of pressure on getting straight A’s etc. But recently I’ve seriously had to come to terms with the fact that school isn’t everything. Your health is your priority. Try your hardest, but don’t be afraid to ask for help or take a break. School is a tough place to be in general, let alone while you’re battling a mental illness. I also try really hard not to compare myself to other, no one else is fighting with their sanity everyday like I have been so it’s pointless. Look after yourself. School matters but not as much as you do. Trying your best is all that matters! d a i s y

What I wish I had known is that people say that high school is the best time of your life but that is complete BS. Your life is a series of ups and downs and there are constant trade offs. The people who seem to have perfect lives now are probably struggling with something you don’t know about. Treat yourself with compassion and try your best not to make comparisons because you do not see the whole picture of their lives like you do with yours. Everyone has unique struggles and you cannot compare yourself to others who don’t have the same burdens.

Advice on getting by?

Hi! I’m new to the NOCD community, but I’ve been dealing with OCD since I was 12. I’m almost 29 now, and my biggest issue is health anxiety. It’s gotten to the point where getting work done is nearly impossible because i can’t stop spiraling. I’m lucky that i work remotely, but also makes it easier to be in my own head… Asking for advice - how do you all deal with the intense anxiety and are able to make it through a 9-5 work day? Any suggestions on how I can actually be productive? Thank you!
