“You are lazy and aren’t working hard enough” Actually I’m fighting a massive battle in my head and working at the same time.

Not only does OCD affect people's ability to work. The loss of self esteem, guilt, etc that accompanies OCD makes it even more difficult. The side effects of many medications indicated for OCD can also negatively affect on a person with OCD to be able to cope with their job.

I can relate. I always have errors at work because I always daydreaming my sad stories. I felt that I cannot do anything good or achieve something even I try. I always make people laugh and happy but they don’t know that I am sad. As long as I can see others happy, I am already contented. Even if I can’t give the happiness to myself, atleast I can give the happiness to others. For all OCD like me, Do not lose hope. Our minds might limit our compentecies but our hearts make us stronger. You will be happy if you choose to be happy. Pray and look on the bright side of everything. Thank you. God bless you All.

This lady speaks as if she somehow actually knows exactly what my OCD is like. My OCD makes me think over so many things, it mostly only makes me pause to think... thats usually the only visual abnormality noticable to others!

I started my job at Amazon and honestly it was so hard to feel okay mentally sometimes. I've had issues with job performance and have noticed my OCD is really taking its toll on me. I don't know how to cope or what to do to overcome this..

I'm basically in the same position. But I've been giving myself the time that I need, so that I can take things easy. Take things easy, and one step at a time, and things will get easier. I've been doing this, and I've noticed I've been feeling better, with TIME. Let's just take it easy. Hope you're feeling better now.

I am terrified for my 19 yr old daughter right now because her OCD keeps her from being able to hold any kind of job. She simply cannot focus, and gets accused of daydreaming. She is currently a College student, and recently had to quit her student placement in an early learning centre because she was not able to get her job done properly due to POCD. This is a smart, friendly kid. I worry so much that she will never be able to support herself. She cannot even hold down a part time fast food job at this point!

I am a sculptor and ocd is affecting my work. I am having trouble with deadlines which causes me more anxiety which obviously makes my ocd worse. I am worried of losing my job. I was already laid off from one and i think this may have been the cause.. I have tried Prozac which affected me positively but make my quality of work sloppy.. I have to pick and choose here...

It's because trying to avoid it or engaging in compulsions in response to the intrusive thoughts encourages the thought patterns that make you have intrusive thoughts. Apparently, practicing having the thoughts on purpose (instead of letting yourself do compulsive behaviours) helps you to stop the cycle that keeps you having intrusive thoughts in the first place.
