@nohope123 basically relaxation techniques before you commit to something, like on the way to work for example. You could do progressive muscle relaxation, listen to music or a podcast etc.

hii I am a student too and I struggle to find a way to get stuff done to the best of my capabilities and also give myself mental breaks and check in with my self through relaxation techniques like mentioned above. I've found that when it's my time of the month, I give myself that day all to myself and try to not have work to do so I can relax , listen to music and anything else that brings me peace. I recommend to think about m any patterns of emotion in ur day or month and try to see when ud benefit from some self care. I've heard men have a different hormonal cycle, which is 24 hours when us females is a month. So try figure out patterns in the day and when you'd benefit from any form of self care so that u look after urself. Where that be in the morning evenings or night, see what actually works and how u can optimize your focus on studys.I hope this helps :)

I don't know how you do it. I dropped out of school partly because my OCD made things difficult. I could never finish work or focus. Sometimes I would get so obsessed I would turn something small into something massive. I had a 5th grade project to right a 10 page story it turned into 126 pages and the teacher liked the first 25 pages so she gave me extra length to finish it. When it came to tests tho I would never meet the deadline because I would constantly go over my work

Should I drop out?
I am a freshman in college diagnosed with OCD, anxiety and depression. I have been on medication for 2 months but I do not see any improvement yet. College has become an anxiety fuel now and I can’t study because I am too anxious and sometimes I cry when I try to. I can’t perform well in classes and the workload is stressing me out. During the first exam season I was a wreak but I wasn’t yet on meds and that’s when my depression appeared. The thing is I can’t really do the normal routine things and I don’t find happiness in the things that were my hobbies. I don’t know how I’ll be able to tell my parents if I do it because my mom is really on about the fact that I can do it cause I’m strong and now I just feel like I will disappoint her. If anyone that went or is going through this let me know your experience.

feeling misunderstood
Having ocd is so incredibly exhausting and depressing- my mom and dad argued with me for over an hour talking about how im a pain to be around, go in too many loops, and ruin everything and everyones mood… this conversation started with me saying im stressed out because of school and that i dont want to go because im exhausted- and idk if this is like ocd directly but it takes me like 2 hours to get ready in the morning because i need to look PERFECT and the same everyday literally 😭 and that process feels so exhausting every morning at 6am but i will NOT go to school without going through with it- i will literally be crying and shaking and wanting to go home the minute i get to school if even a single strand of my hair is not perfectly straightened or any blemishes or flaws are showing- and i cant even walk to school or anything bc im scared the humidity will mess with my hair and everything- and it just really affects my life? And yeah its freaking exhausting. And i have two more years of highschool and I dont know if im going to make it 😭i get super stressed over grades too because i need them to be extraordinary otherwise its a fail. Nothing below 95%. And thats also tiring! 😁 and my mom told me today “medication IS NOTTTT AND OPTION!!!” Like oh okay so im just cooked 😭 and therapy isnt really helping me at all- i feel like what im being told is so basic and generic and it doesn’t help me when im in a huge ocd episode- which is often… and what i hate most is like my mom says “don’t come to me with your problems after 6pm…” im sorry i cant schedule my feelings 😭 im so tired

Please help
Does this happen with you also, just few days or a month before exams ocd tends to increase so much that you can't study even when you sit with books after meditating and with a calm mind. Please tell me how to get out of this anxious feeling and study in a normal course. It is becoming harder day by day for me to get out of this.
