Before my state legalized, they had a very narrow list of qualified conditions for medical and they were considering adding OCD-- I overcame all my anxiety about it and actually wrote a letter about how much it helped me...they didn't approve it but now they've both taken away the list so you can qualify for anything with a drs approval and it's legal-- it literally has helped me sometimes more then medication. (I still take medication/go to therapy) but I'm so glad it has helped you! Like literally. <3

I am considering trying CBD aswell. I’m curious as to how you take it, when and how often? Very glad that it’s working for you. Best wishes

Just within the 1.5 hours my heart rate is down, i don’t even care about anything .. I don’t want to cry or kill/hurt myself , no nervousness, no more going to the crisis center or calling the hotline, I wanna scream and cry cuz I’m so happy ..... I have an appetite too ??????... I would’ve been a mess like last week if I did not have this. I just hope my therapist can see the difference.. I hope this can last for a while like this. I’m trying to embrace it , but it’s almost like I’m living a dream. I never thought this is how it would be. I was suffering so much I could not bare to live like that anymore ...and I would not be around for that much longer if it kept going the way it did !!! ❤️

Do you think that I can still do the intense work with therpay? That it will be easier now that I don’t have the anxiety to worry about?

Do it. I’ve been so many pharmacial pills (17) and everything was worse. I only take it in the Am and 0.5 mg at 500 strength, there is 300,500,&1000. In the oil wise. There is other but this works the quickest . I haven’t taken any since since am and it’s been 13 hours and no anxiety still ☺️.. it’s wonderful I can actually breathe.

Alternative therapies for ocd
Cranial osteopathy was one I tried, that worked alongside a specific meditation that I will not share for safety reasons. That brought up memories of events that were the birth of some of my compulsions, fears and behaviours. It mainly targeted the traumas in my life in which my ocd is comorbid. Next on my list to try is reiki, to see if that has any effect in calming me down or grounding me. I'll respond with results next week. 3rd is hypnotherapy which I'm excited to start as it's something I wish to go into. I want to experience it first hand before I consider investing in an education on it. 4th is neurofeedback therapy which looks really promising with all the stuff I've seen. I think there may be a real good combination of things in which we can rewire our brain and body. I feel so excited about this, that I don't know where to start 😅🤯

Ocd/going crazy
Hi about a week ago I found out I have ocd and chronic anxiety! I tried zoloft and it was terrible for me. I also started therapy and I take hydroxyzine but I will discuss further medication with my doctor. My question is I have a huge fear that I'm going crazy, I am crazy, or schizophrenic to the point I'm so hyper aware of my surrounding ill look out the corner of my eye to make sure I'm nit seeing anything ill make sure to double check what I'm hearing and it's so draining! I get really scared and go into a panic and cry 😅 I need some reassurance has anyone felt this way my doctor and therapist explained it to me but I'm still very scared. I feel like one day I'll have a break and I won't be the same! I tried the grounding exercise and breathing it helps temporarily. I also cut out smoking weed and none of my family has this but I feel like I have it or ill develope it even though it's rare!

Medication
At this point I feel like I need to get on something ASAP. I know that therapy is a long road and hard work and I am totally down to do it but in the short term (I just started this journey) I think I need pharmaceutical help. Some of the people closest to me agree. I have never been on meds before and it's scary AF but the road I am going down is scarier. Advice?
