I am a student and this OCD is affecting my studies to a greater extent ☹️

it can be like that :( are you doing any decompression strategies before you study each session?

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
