You made it so far as to pass the MCAT and go to med school. You need to trust yourself. Why don’t you join me in a group study; we’ll help each other focus. Prolly your obcession would be just you’re so bored-you don’t feel like all of this is worth it; or you’re not sure what all this will amount to. UNCERTAINTY. That’s normal with a lot of studying. Once we finish all this, we’ll look back and realize the blud sky has always been there. It’s just our short-sightedness and because we’re not collaborating enough. OCD demands certainty; it doesn’t accept grey, not being in control. Why don’t you just accept not being in control of everything; we cannot control our fates, our futures and everything. We “can” just do our part. My therapist says: “do our best and leave God the rest.” Do you have a therapist with experience in OCD and scholarship? I think you’ll benefit from collaborating with others because you’ll focus more in a group like I do.

@SILVERRHINO You must be very resilient. Let’s do the pomodoro technique. Every 15 mins of studying, I’ll check back this thread for sharing something fun I’ll do for 5 mins (walking meditation, move meditation through Headspace, reading a favourite encouraging spiritual verse or another book, etc.) before returning back to studying for 15 mins. After one hour of this cycle, we’ll take 30 min break.

@Pomodoro We could even share what we’re studying; now, I am doing a set of passage-based questions about some kind of interesting and fun mutation (oh! It’s soo cool)

Try also using a Keyword worksheet to breakdown the argument and reading the questions before the passage; If all this does not help, it may be more underlying learning issue; seek a learning specialist/psychologist, who could advise to have a proctor help you read the exam or study with a group/partner. “Ariel Dempsey” had a similar story: https://students-residents.aamc.org/choosing-medical-career/medical-careers/inspiring-stories/

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

What can I do if I’m being bothered by something?
Good morning, I have been noticing more and more that I might have OCD. I am currently a student and this is causing me to slack a lot during school. I am a student who has a 504 plan (accommodation for my mental health) and would like to add this app on my 504 due to my school having a no phone policy. My question is, how can this app help me while in school? What are things that can happen during school that might lead me to using this app? I am new to this app and barley finding out that I might have OCD. If any clarification needs to be made on this post please let me know! :)

Can you guys meditate or/and sit in silence?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!
