I want to guide you. But I dont know how to? i was in the same position and failed my exams

Whats ur obsession if u dont mind sharing i can try to help

Checking out for reassurance and looking groinal response, waking up from sleep due to dream to figure out was that gayish? I feel like laughing at myself sometimes ??

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.
