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. 🛠

ERP
I’m thinking about doing erp but my ocd is so severe the thought of accepting my fears happening to me makes me sick to my stomach. I also believe in the power of my words and saying I accept this Bad thing will attract it into my life. I’m not sure what I should do🥲

independence.
okay so I’m 18, I’ve always been kinda a homebody , especially recently starting lexapro made my anxiety worse at first ect. I feel so scared to be in the “ real world” because I feel like I’m not independent at all:/ I’ve never had a job I had 1 at 16 for 2 weeks and it wasn’t to bad. I can drive , but it’s kinda hard for me , I get scared of thinking of the future and independence “what if I’m not capable” “What if my mental health doesn’t allow me too” ect ..:/

college
i’m so stressed about college. i’m SO worried about meeting people, talking to people, making friends, meeting my roommates, etc. i’m scared that they won’t like me. i’m scared that i’ll say/do something that i couldn’t control and then they all hate me. i’ve been so on edge with my ocd lately, and it’s not very out of the ordinary to have me wanna do something like. weird. but it’s also just like…anything can happen. that little “your chances may be low, but they’re never zero” is always in the back of my head and it stresses me OUT. “the chances of you doing some weird and crazy thing or something out of pocket to your new roommates are very low, but never zero” like that TERRIFIES me dude. idk what to do. on top of it, im scared that they might accidentally do something and contaminate me or my surroundings or anything and then there’s nothing i can do about it. im always VERY particular with keeping things clean, with who can touch them, etc etc, but what if they do something behind my back? or what if they don’t but i think that they did and im stuck instead my head for the next like day or so? i’m so scared. i dont know what to do. does anybody have any college experiences they can share to help me?
