Marijuana and OCD
I’m wondering what are your guys thoughts on marijuana use and those of us who have ocd who use it regularly

Not advisable since weed is known to make people more paranoid. And OCD already makes that happen.

“Certain” strains are known to make people more paranoid not all weed

@OcdNamedSomething Okay then. If you think you know it all, then why are you asking? 🤣 See how it goes for you, though I don’t know ANY therapist that says it’s a smart thing to do, especially when you smoke it to blur out the thoughts. You face your thoughts, not blur them out.

Oh it doesn't mix well at all for me, but i still do it. It became a compulsion and a really bad one at that. It was my ocd just pushing me deeper in, like calling me. Cos obvs i would lose all rational abilty once i got high, so it could make me believe anything. I manage it once in a while, but i defo need to stop for a long time at least. It does much more harm than good for me unfortunately. I used to love it. Obvs its different for different people. But for me it definitely made my ocd worse.

I have to be in a good headspace to do it or else I know that if my OCD latches on to something I could freak out. It really sucks bc I used to be able to do it more and OCD has again ruined something fun. Weed makes me think one thought at a time which is sometimes fun and happy but if it turns to an obsession such as rocd I will spiral and have to distract myself so I don’t have a bad trip

I had one of the worst experiences with weed, I smoked with my bf and his friends (who I hadn't met before) and I was anxious before the smoke since I am shy around new people. After I smoked I had crazy intrusive thoughts that everyone there hated me, I thought I was rocking when I was sitting still and I had a panic attack that I thought was a heart attack. I also thought I heard breathing (which was probably my own) when I went to my bfs room to be alone. It just made me mad paranoid I really don't recommend it especially if you have mental health problems already.

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 ?
