@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

What can I do if I’m being bothered by something?
Good morning, I have been noticing more and more that I might have OCD. I am currently a student and this is causing me to slack a lot during school. I am a student who has a 504 plan (accommodation for my mental health) and would like to add this app on my 504 due to my school having a no phone policy. My question is, how can this app help me while in school? What are things that can happen during school that might lead me to using this app? I am new to this app and barley finding out that I might have OCD. If any clarification needs to be made on this post please let me know! :)

Thriving in School with OCD: The Power of Support and Accommodations
When I started therapy with NOCD, I was stuck in a debilitating OCD spiral, feeling lost and alone. ERP changed my life—it wasn’t easy, but it helped me resist compulsions and sit with uncertainty. Even when I had to pause therapy to move for my Master’s degree in the UK, the tools I learned stayed with me. NOCD not only helped me manage my OCD symptoms but also gave me the confidence to take on one of the biggest changes of my life. As a Master’s student, OCD made completing assignments incredibly difficult. I developed compulsions that forced me to reread and rewrite endlessly, making deadlines stressful. After speaking with my advisor, I applied for an Individual Learning Plan, which provided accommodations like extended deadlines. Knowing I had that flexibility lifted the pressure and allowed me to do my best work—I finished my degree with Merit, close to a 3.8 GPA. If you’re a student struggling with OCD, know that support is available, and it’s okay to ask for help. What strategies or accommodations have helped you succeed in school while managing OCD?
