Deciding not to drink or smoke because of your OCD is a compulsion. It’s giving power to your OCD. Just FYI
@adhd&autism I’m also trying to allow myself to drink. I didn’t realize until recently it was a compulsion. An OCD advocate mentioned it to me. Keep up the work on your exposure- you deserve to enjoy what brings you joy. FU OCD lol
personally I honestly can’t even remember the difference after smoking for so long, I still have some pretty rough days and sometimes the psychotropic nature and thought provocation from thc can send me into some obsessive spirals but sometimes it’s a sacrifice I make to feel good lol, since everyone’s brain chemistry is different the only way you will really be able to know is by trying, best of luck hope it helps
I did it once and I had like a really bad episode from it. Wouldn’t recommend. I felt actuallt so horrible
I find that THC exacerbates my anxiety and OCD so it isn't for me. There is a difference between avoiding it because you don't interact well with it and avoiding it because your OCD is telling you a false narrative. If you try it and it isn't for you, that's ok. If you have tried it, find you tolerate it well, and it is helping (i.e., it aligns with your values and what you want) but your OCD is preventing you from doing it again... then feel free to challenge your OCD! Side note: I do like CBD for myself personally.
cw: weed talk Does anyone have any success stories with using pot, and/or cbd? I recently got my medical card and I’d LOVE to hear strain recommendations, what ratios work best for you, how much you tend to need, etc. Just anything that can help me with the weed <-> ocd correlation. Thanks!
Has anyone heard or tried using medical marijuana? I have been using the meds the doctor gave me and up and up the doses but still feeling the same, i was looking into other meds and options and saw articles saying it helped people with ocd. I’m thinking of going to my doctor to see what he thinks, but wanted to know if anyone on here has tried it?
has anyone tried CBD or weed for their anxiety associated with OCD? I really don’t want to take these benzos that my doctor gave me 😩 I’ve been trying so hard to keep it natural
