I have two AP Tests this week and one of my intrusive thoughts has always been that I will never get into college (I have a 4.0 gpa) I had a panic attack last night and I’m honestly so terrified I can’t even think straight even though I’ve done all I can to prepare. So now I just have to stare at the wall until I have to drive to the testing place in the morning. I can’t sleep, or eat or do anything but worry.
I had these same fears when I was in high school. I’m 26 now and can say I had plenty of options with colleges! I had a 3.92 GPA graduating HS, so you got me there 😉 and you’re taking at least 2 AP classes… you got this! And just remember everything happens for a reason and works out how it’s supposed to. Just try your best, and it’ll all work out.
@Annonn This is the sweetest thing ever. Thank you so much for sharing and reminding me that everything happens for a reason 💜
Uhhh I have very similar ocd to you. I worry about things in the future and can’t eat sleep and just worry 24/7. I wish I had the answer for you but I do hope you feel better because I know you will get into a great school!
@ECM17 Thank you so much! 💜
@MaddieGirlie Of course! When those thoughts creep in, just try to remember that you can only control so much and you will try your best on those tests. And that’s enough 🤍
So I’m about to enter the eleventh grade this year, in September, and I’ve started thinking about university and what I want to study; however, my OCD has been hard regarding the uncertainty revolving around the question of whether or not I’ll actually get into the university I want to get into. I don’t know how to deal with the stress! Does anyone have some tips? Thank you so much.
I’m moving to college for the first time tomorrow and I’m really nervous, and I think the stress of that is making my mind spiral and look for anything else to worry about - my obsessions. Has anyone else dealt w this and if so any tips? :(
Last night I tested. But in a different sort of way I watched yk and waited for the anxiety to go away. And then tested myself. And I don’t even know what the response was. Spent all morning watching Chrissie Hodges and I relate to pretty much everything she says. But I still. Cannot. Accept. That I might have ocd (because I am not diagnosed. I feel like I’m too young. And because I don’t recognise that I do compulsions) This is war in my brain. And I’m always convinced that if I stopped having anxiety I would like the thoughts/feelings. I have to go to college and I know for a fact my head is going to spiral allllll day
