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.
Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠
Anyone else here with complex trauma and ocd? How did u find they correlate with each other? Possibly the trauma causing ocd? Have you found any mind blowingly obvious connections? Healing your trauma helps with ocd symptoms? I recently found out I have cptsd and have been abused by my family growing up physically and verbally. Btw still living with them and my ocd gets significantly worse or better sometimes.I have so many questions.❤️🩹
Does anyone know if weed helps ocd symptoms?
