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. 🛠

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! :)

Anxious about starting Therapy
My name is Abbey and I’m a 14 year old girl struggling with OCD, I don’t like to say my OCD is severe but it’s the truth. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I’m still being treated for it kinda via medication by my doctor. The reason I’m nervous about starting my therapy journey is I’m worried the therapist won’t understand what im saying or take it the wrong way and think I’m a bad person even though I know I’m a good hearted person. If you have any tips to overcome my fear of therapy please share! ✌️🧡

help :(
so I feel like I’m finally having an academic comeback after years of failing & I’m currently looking at pinterest for that motivation. there are videos that are helpful tools for college students like websites that read chapter books and summarize/create notes & it seems pretty cool. but I somehow deny using those tools bc it feels like I’m cheating. my mind is like, “no, you will study the TRADITIONAL way (which idek what it rlly is)” I don’t know why my brain is doing this to me. I feel like these apps could be beneficial to my learning. what’s ironic is that I literally googled all my assignment answers for one class at the last minute to get some grades in. this is a retake class but because I was so behind on everything, I just looked up the answers. so that really does count as cheating. like bruh 😭 I did it to save myself from a bad class grade. I’m definitely going to study the rest of this semester. I have officially began taking notes and actually doing schoolwork. someone help me!!! these videos look like great resources but my mind is telling me otherwise. another thing is that I’m still lost on what to major in. I keep changing career choices and my head’s gonna explode. there are so many things I wanna say but I don’t want the post to be long. I just want to get good grades and understand the material!!! someone help me >n<
