Can OCD cause problems like this?

[Cat Dancer]

Problems with focusing and problems with finishing things you start? Problems with getting distracted and not being able to remember what you're supposed to be doing?

I really am struggling with these problems.

While I don't know enough about OCD to competently answer your question, I wonder if your concerns have heightened your stress levels to such a degree that you might be having difficulty to focus and become distracted easily.

I know when I feel stressed, I have difficulty with focus and distraction.

Have you ever read the Mayo Clinic article on OCD? I find their articles really informative on just about any medical condition.

I too have difficulty with focusing and staying on task when I am stressed. That's when I write lists - they help me to complete a task and help me reduce my feelings of being overwhelmed.
