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

Work Related OCD triggers
I feel like my job triggers a lot of how im feeling. Im now a manager and the stress of it really causes my thoughts to convince me that I am worthless and all of the customers and my staff hate me

Social Implications of OCD
Has anyone experienced their reputation affected or misunderstood because of a societally taboo OCD theme? Others catching wind of your obsessions and misinterpreting it, assuming the worst? I’m intentionally keeping it vague because I don’t want my specific situation to get reassured, but it’s been a real tough pill to swallow knowing that people close to me (and anyone else they might talk to) think of me differently. I’m unwilling to share about my OCD because I feel pretty confident it will be taken as an excuse or denial, and feels compulsive and reassurance seeking. Let me know if anyone here has experienced anything like it, how they handled it, exposures you did.

handling seeking reassurance in relationship ocd?
hi! i often fear im going to lose my job because i made a “mistake” (not really) that my manager caught and is waiting to tell me about or i fear im going to be kicked off the roster of a team im on for small mistakes that everyone makes. this often compels me to ask those people if i did good or not and gauge their reactions to see if theyre going to remove me and i fall into a cycle of asking and asking. how do you guys deal with these feelings / compulsions? when im flaring i often just spend as much time around these people as possible to gather “evidence” of their opinion on me, but then i get nervous that they hate me for being clingy. i also abandon other duties / tasks so i can spend time with these people to make sure they like me. what do you guys do? anyone else experience the sentiment?
