Sometimes a change of scenery can actually help. I lost some of my compulsive cleaning behaviors when I switched from the ER to a doctor’s office, because I was so caught up in learning the new routine and also didn’t have the same supplies on hand. (Left that job because it was AWFUL and went back to the ER; some behaviors made a comeback but a LOT of the anxiety and sense of responsibility has faded, even with COVID.)

If it’s college, I highly suggest going to the office that deals with ADA. (If it’s high school or junior high, see your guidance counselor about the same thing.). They can help get you reasonable accommodations in case you need them. When I was seriously struggling, it helped to have that lieson between professors and myself. When I wasn’t struggling as hard, knowing I had those as a safety net helped me stay inspired enough not to need/use them. It’s also an excellent idea to set it up BEFORE you might need them. Hopefully you won’t need even need them, but will just find more support. OCD, and learning to live with and fight against it, can actually help you as a student as long as you take the time for keeping it in check and keeping yourself healthy and balanced. You got this!! And if you ever feel like you don’t, reach out; we’re here for you. Congrats and good luck!!!

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.

Hi! Im wondering how does OCD affect your school work.. Since my ocd started school got much harder and i just cant focus. Im in law school and i cant handle the stress and feeling like all of my peers are better and smarter because they know how to deal with stress and dont go crazy... It sucks because its ruining my self esteem and i feel like a loser. I used to be a good student but now i just fail class after class. Is it going to get better? Can u study with ocd and get good grades? If you can please tell me how!

college
hi! i am a week into my freshman year of college, and i just realized that a lot of my anxiety is actually stemming from my OCD. for example, i am obsessing over school and completing work, and each time i finish/give into compulsions, there is something new that i obsess over. i am having issues with sleeping because of this, and was wondering if anyone knew how to help.
