This is purely out of curiosity. Have any of y’all tried any psychedelics and if so what your experience with it as it relates to OCD. Did it help? Did it harm? Was it a mixture of both?

Oh wow you sure did that’s so funny!
@Miss_OCD Me too I’m watching this Netflix Documentary on it rn and they mentioned that it’s been used on some people to treat OCD. Personal I only really want to try it in a clinical setting…unless convicted otherwise of course. I low key don’t want to see monsters tho lol one of my irrational fears is being inside a horror movie. But, that’s my only aversion to it.
@Hmac I’m also curious but afraid it’ll exacerbate my intrusive fears. I used to smoke marijuana daily for a couple of years and then out of nowhere had a panic attack about one of my themes. It’s actually what led me to even learn about the different OCD subtypes. Before that I was super down to try. Now I’m peaking from under the covers. 😂
@Miss_OCD I actually can relate to that. I used to feel the same “oh it’s just because I’m high and soon it’ll stop.” And I was usually right. Something about that last one though, it was just way more aggressive and intense. I had been looking for/needing a reason to cut back or quit for a while though before that so who knows, maybe I subconsciously psyched myself out on purpose. I talked to a bunch of people afterward who had the same experience with MJ after long term chronic use so it seems like some people are just predisposed. If it helps you and doesn’t interfere with your life or relationships then great 👍 Someday maybe when I’m old and retired I’ll try the more intense psychoactive stuff just to see what it’s about.
Really really really bad. Mental breakdown
Wondering if any of you have tried cannabis for your ocd and if it helped or made it worse.
Hiii - hope everyone is having a good day! Has anyone found any type of medication or supplements helpful with thinking sooo deeply about everything and intrusive thoughts? I’m in therapy + doing erp but my brain in this relapse of ocd just thinks sooo deep into my brain and i can’t seem to not to do it pull myself out. Like I’m just paranoid. An example would be if i simply look at my arm I’ll think so deeply about it like what’s under my arm what’s it look like inside etc. but if anyone not in this cycle looks at their arm they’ll be like hmm ok cool my arm and move on w their day. Just looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience of what I’m feeling rn.
Can people please share their experiences on very low dose medications for their OCD? Maybe ones that have worked well with little side effects? Anything is helpful & thank you
