Does OCD affect holding down jobs? Does anyone know. Lost my job today trying to see if there's any correlation

I guess it depends on how much ocd interacts with a specific job/how much it affects you/the work. generally speaking from experience I would say it doesn't affect holding down jobs

I have OCD and I work full time. It doesn't hinder my ability to hold down a job. I am fortunate to work for a company that is very understanding and supportive of people who struggle with mental illness.

Yes, OCD can certainly have an affect on someone's ability to have/keep a job. However, that doesn't mean that just because you have OCD that you can't have a job. Different factors like the type and severity of one's OCD and the type of job can make all the difference. Personally, I lost a job due to my OCD, but was given another job within the same company and have excelled in that role. For me, it just about finding the right fit.

I have OCD and I work at a treatment center for people with OCD :) it’s incredibly challenging, but just as rewarding!!

during my first job i was having a lot of intrusive thoughts which made it hard to pay attention to my trainer. i ended up getting fired after 2 weeks

It certainly can. I struggled for 16 years in my career before I finally had to leave due to OCD, bipolar one disorder, and attention span issues that have still not been explained. But it was mostly the OCD. And my employers were very supportive…Almost too supportive and how much they let slide. But everyone’s illness is a little different in terms of severity and how the disease has manifested. And every job is different. So the short answer is yes but the long answer is it can but doesn’t have to.
