OCD affects my schoolwork terribly. I am only doing the absolute bare minimum right now.

You can do this. Put a specific time of day just specified for school work. Don't give up on your lawschool dreams.

Hey I’m in law school too (my first year) and I totally understand how you feel. Remember to be compassionate with yourself, I know there’s a lot of pressure with the curve and all to do well but if stress that you should not be obsessing and need to study it only creates more anxiety worry and stress. So what I do to combate this is make a list of goals of what I want to get done on that day and in between I make sure I workout outside, talk a walk, clean, and listen to stand up comedy (both to give my mind a break from the hard material and to get those serotonin levels up to help with the ocd) I like working out and being outside because this is a natural way for your brain to release endorphins and you have the plus of doing something physical which makes it difficult to obsess. Lastly remember everyday is a new day and if today you cannot study don’t be hard on yourself you have tomorrow!
Stronger. Stronger.

Yes. I’m in nursing school and this last semester has been horrible. After doing the therapy program on here I was pretty good for a while, I never got so distracted I’d miss a day’s worth of work, BUT this last semester “ethical” OCD has hit hard and a 3 hour long assignment will take me 4-5 because I keep adding time. My assignment grades are going down because I’m making everything much harder on myself but I definitely don’t loose myself to my compulsions like I use to.

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! :)

i am a freshman in college and i have always struggled with depression, anxiety, and OCD. i have never received help for my OCD despite being medicated for my other two issues. i have noticed that what most of my panic stems from is my OCD and more specifically my OCD around school. i haven’t been able to get myself up for class for multiple days and im starting to panic about everything im missing and think about every little thing i have to fix. i am so behind that it makes me want to panic and i feel like i cant fix this. i just want my mind to feel normal but it feels like my whole world is falling apart all because i am feeling stuck in school. please help me i just want to feel okay but i dont know how to. i have tried doing all the assignments i can do to catch up but it isn’t enough i still feel so panicked

Advice on getting by?
Hi! I’m new to the NOCD community, but I’ve been dealing with OCD since I was 12. I’m almost 29 now, and my biggest issue is health anxiety. It’s gotten to the point where getting work done is nearly impossible because i can’t stop spiraling. I’m lucky that i work remotely, but also makes it easier to be in my own head… Asking for advice - how do you all deal with the intense anxiety and are able to make it through a 9-5 work day? Any suggestions on how I can actually be productive? Thank you!
