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/

Contamination OCD
I don't know what to do, my hands have become so numb and bruised because of constant washing hands, i have started hating each and every furniture around me, beacuse i feel they are not clean although they are being cleaned regularly but i cannot stop these thoughts. I clean my phone, bluetooth, charger with wet wipes each day, i don't touch any object around me, i am not being able to focus on my studies or anything else because of my ocd ihave stopped going out, everyone around me is so fed up of me. I have consulted so many therapists and been taking ayurvedic supplements too but nothing works. It is getting worse and worse, please if anybody can suggest me how to overcome these thoughts!

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! :)
