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.

my mom caught me smoking weed
i (22f) am not a full blown stoner whatsoever, but picked up smoking weed years ago and use it pretty regularly now that i’ve been in college for a while. Not the best habit, I know, but it eases my mind so easily and is such a quick fix for my ocd when I feel really panicky. My mom caught me last night and proceeded to have a full conversation with me about it while I was totally stoned. From what i remember, She isn’t mad just really sad and disappointed. She’s made it clear through my whole childhood that weed is a horrible drug, but i just dont agree. I think that when used in moderation, like any other drug, it’s actually super helpful. I leave for partial hospitalization this Monday for my depression and she has been so helpful in getting me to the stage where i actually want help. I just feel so guilty now. A part of me is like okay i’m an adult and i can smoke weed once in a while. I did it in highschool in the house like a few times and no one ever said anything. I did it outside far way from the house, not even close to where It could bother anyone. The reason why she woke up is because I was too loud coming inside and then she came down and smelled me. Another part of me just feels like shit. I’m not an adult right now because i’m in such a mentally shit place and rely on her for so much. I should be respecting her expectations. She just seemed really sad and that’s what’s upsetting me most. It’s definitely a habit that has gotten out of hand in the past, but I don’t really want to stop. That kinda makes me sadder. (it’s not legal where i live but i bought from dispensary in another state)

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.
