has any felt that weed has helped lower their ocd and anxiety?
has any felt that weed has helped lower their ocd and anxiety?
I was advised by my therapist to not use that or alcohol while going through therapy and ERP since it does affect your mind and mood. That said, I did use it sometimes to try to help calm me down and it made it worse. I’ve been in therapy for a few months now and now I’m at a point where I feel like I can handle it without it being too much of a problem. I would say too that different types of weed can cause different results. Ultimately, you know you and what you can and cannot tolerate. I have to use a certain strain to calm me down. I cannot use the one that perks me up because that one ramps up my anxiety. I hope this helps!
No, my ocd got triggered this way
Not recommended since weed naturally makes most people anxious and paranoid and you don’t need to add to that. ERP is the golden standard even though it’s hard but ERP is solving the issue, unless smoking weed, which masks it.
It makes mine a lot worse but it varies for different people
