LSAT Related OCD Forum

[hiltopp01]

Hi guys,

I've been studying for the LSAT for a couple months now. Has anyone ever experienced OCD related to the LSAT? I reread stimuli over and over again feeling as though I didn't understand some part of it. My OCD has become so bad that I'm also experiencing this OCD in my daily life and it's really stressing me out. I hear things and I ask myself if I completely understood it, and most times I feel like I didn't.

Any help with his matter?

Do you have a history of OCD? Are you re-reading the passage a certain number of times? How difficult is it when you force yourself to only read something once or twice? Are you shaking and in tears, or just very uncomfortable?

My suggestion is that you consult with your general practitioner to see if you should set up a consultation with a psychologist. At the very least, this is likely to negatively effect your scores. At the worst, it could escalate into something quite serious.
