I work in higher Ed! It might be different school to school, but where I work it’s a relatively easy process. Just a note from a doctor stating you benefit from additional time. No need for specifics, and when it’s disclosed to your teachers you essentially just come to an understanding on how much additional time you’ll get. You shouldn’t have to say what the specific health issue is. It might work differently at your school, but I’m guessing it should be a similar process. If it would help relieve stress, you should look into it!

This is what I do all day for work (at a big state U). A lot of students are intimidated by the whole process of it and aren’t sure whether they’re “disabled enough for accoms”. Feeling scared/conflicted about it is natural! It’s important to know that when accoms make sense for your situation, they’re designed to *remove barriers*. Looking into accoms doesn’t mean someone is lazy, or looking for a shortcut, or anything like that - you still have to study and show you’re learning the material, it just gives you room to do that in a slightly different way from the “default”. Accommodations are just tools. And since you’re here with the rest of us, doing this, you’re already putting thought into the kind of skills that help people use those tools effectively. 🛠

are the therapists here actually reliable???
I feel really scared and worried that the therapist I find on NOCD might not be effective, and instead of getting better, I might end up feeling worse. I’m afraid that if I don’t feel any progress, I’ll want to switch therapists, but my mom might get impatient with me. I worry that she’ll lose faith in therapy, stop paying for it, and think it’s a waste of time and money. I know therapy takes time and it’s not a quick fix, but I’m scared that things won’t go the way I hope. What if I don’t connect with the therapist? What if they don’t understand my OCD as well as I need them to? I’ve already been struggling so much, and the thought of going through another disappointment is exhausting. I’m only 14, and I feel stuck because I can’t manage this on my own. I need help, but I also need my mom to stay patient and supportive through this process. I’m scared that if things don’t improve fast enough, she’ll give up on paying for therapy. I don’t know what to do, and it’s making me feel really anxious. I just want to get better, but what if nothing works out?

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! :)

therapist appointment
I got a therapist appointment in about a week and I'm scared I will get misunderstood, or I feel like Im not telling enough details, I'm scared that I have something else. This week alone was so draining
