I hadn't really suffered with OCD for years. I still bad the odd thought or compulsions but it didn't steal whole days or weeks anymore. I suffered with an OCD surrounding insomnia last year, but I didn't really realise that the insomnia had actually become the result of OCD and excessive worry. As a result I went to a private cannabis clinic in the UK. I got prescribed a day and night Strain. Indica worked wonders for my sleep but the Sativa made me really paranoid, didn't like it. When I ran out of the Indica I started using the Sativa as it was all I had - that's what's caused my HOCD to kick off again bit time. I will never touch the stuff again. I was in such a good place a month ago and I feel like I'm rebuilding the pieces once again.

I literally wish I never tried it tbh! I feel so anxious and paranoid about health related stuff and I’m scared that it’s not going to go away. I haven’t felt like this in a while. I hope that you’re doing okay and that you’re able to rebuild the pieces again

I don't like them cause they will generally raise heart rate temporarily. Anxiety typically fades as the high does but yea the lingering effects can suck. Once I've had an anxious moment I feel like I need to reset myself no matter the trigger. I stay with hybrids or indica but generally lower % is better tolerated until your tolerance is built up. Also I super recommend cbd/thc mixes. They are great for relaxing and staying functional and generally stay in the body.

Yeah it definitely gave me a bad experience and I don’t think I want to smoke again. I’ve come down from it but it has triggered my anxiety and now I have to deal with it

@🕸 That's always a choice and it's not right for everyone. I smoke daily I also keep my thc levels low and micro dose. I avoid high and go for relaxed. I hope your tools from ERP help you move past this. Good luck

I can’t even walk past someone in the street who is smoking it.

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!

Cannabis and Pocd
Wondering if any of you have tried cannabis for your ocd and if it helped or made it worse.

Help me need insight
When I smoke weed when I think of non ocd things or themes, my head starts to make sense of things I feel more open and I think clearer. So that’s where my big concern is!!! Because when I’m high and think of ocd things like being a killer, or someone who’s a sociopath or someone that can be a pedo it feels real like my mind is clearer that I am these things Any one who has experienced weed with ocd help me I need insight on this im very confused and it’s causing me to ruminate all day
