I’m a teacher as well and recently suffered from harm theme. It attacked everything I cared about and I had to take time away from work because my mind was such a mess I couldn’t focus. So yes, ocd can impact your ability to perform normal job duties. I have gotten so much better since I got on the right medication and am back to work with minimal interference from ocd.

i totally get how tough it must be dealing with ocd while trying to navigate interactions at work, especially in a role as crucial as teaching. it sounds incredibly challenging to manage those feelings of doubt when talking to parents and trusting coworkers. you're not alone in this struggle. 💔 by the way, have you heard about this new ai-powered ocd therapy tool called 'unstuck'? when i was in a similar spot, feeling overwhelmed by my ocd at work, my nocd therapist recommended 'unstuck' to me (unstuckmyocd.com/try), and it was a game-changer. i think it'll be especially helpful for you because it offers personalized, step-by-step support for managing ocd, especially in high-stress environments like yours. it's like having an ocd therapist in your pocket, ready to help whenever you need it. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have qs or just want to talk more! <3

Does anyone else have job ocd
I’ve been my job for almost 2 years now and I can not shake the constant worry that I am going to do something to mess it up. I’m constantly checking things over and over to make sure they’re correct to the point where I almost don’t believe my own eyes anymore. Everyday I go home with something to be anxious about. Today me and a coworker got in a bit of a tiff and I can’t stop thinking about it (even though I was totally right to be upset 🤣) everyday I play out fake scenarios that may happen because of what I said or did. Occasionally I will worry if I had written something inappropriate on the work I turn in. There’s no amount of reassurance that can make me stop worrying and I’m not sure what to do anymore. I’m new here and would love some suggestions!

How do you tell friends and family
How do you tell friends and family about ocd? Like it makes me so anxious and I feel like such a terrible person. A lot of my intrusive thoughts are on my kids. And I hate every single thing that comes into my head.

pocd/career plans
i’ve graduated and it just seems terrifying now because my pocd is flaring up again and i’m terrified of myself , i was planning to become a teacher but i just find disgust in even applying and I want to avoid children I have had these recent thing where i have intrusive thoughts and im scared to look at children because im scared i might look at their intimate areas and it’s killing me because i avoid looking at children or even have conversations with them because im scared of what my ocd does. Even when i try to conquer my fear of looking at children and just letting the fear sit, my OCD convinces me that i do look at them in a weird sexual way and I feel like ripping myself into shreds even saying that.
