??? u still have the chance to practice erp and get ur intrusive thoughts in check so u can focus on exams
I just know how to make it work (ERP)
I have Exams in 26 days?
I want to guide you. But I dont know how to? i was in the same position and failed my exams
Few month ago I had finals and somehow I cracked it with good results but I think this time I am gone???
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.
No I don't have therapist
@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)

Sorry, I prolly don’t understand you well enough!
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/
Are their any doctors with ocd on here? I want to go to medical school soon but everyone in my life tells me I shouldn’t because I have ocd and it’ll be too hard for me.
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 am a student and I badly want to study. But these obsessive thoughts are not allowing me to do so. I am not being able to concentrate correctly because my focus goes on to the obsessive thoughts. I am completely getting backward in my academics. Could anyone give me some study tips which help me to study by overcoming my obsessions?? Plzz
