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 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.

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
