@hanajade thank you :( my classes have just been stressing me out so much lately and on top of that my ocd symptoms feel like they’ve been getting worse that it’s just really difficult to focus and get things done. i feel so overwhelmed and unmotivated to do my homework and study even though i got so much to do 😭

I was exactly feeling this last semester when I was at uni. I became very stressed and anxious and my ocd got really bad due to covid. I also became unmotivated to study. I ended up taking six months off to work on my ocd and anxiety.

I ended up seeing my doctor and she prescribed me Zoloft to help manage my ocd. You can also see a psychologist to do erp for you that will help to reduce your compulsions and anxiety. I am going to do erp soon.

Does the Zoloft work for you?

If you anxiety is too high maybe get your doctor to prescribe you a higher dose of the medication.

@saaaam Your welcome. I have recently been upped in my dose as I was still having compulsions. The only thing when going up a dose is having a few side effects such as increased anxiety and nausea but it only lasts a few weeks.
