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.

I don’t know what’s wrong
I can’t stop crying. My thoughts are going insane, they’re so fast I can’t keep up. I want to tell everyone around me what’s happening (my family doesn’t even know about my OCD). I can’t seem to resist compulsions today. I’m freaking out. I want to give up. I feel like I’m suffocating in whatever is going on. I feel like I need to go to a hospital. I don’t know how to ask for help. I don’t feel okay. I don’t understand this at all. It feels like I took some random drug. I’m really scared I’m sorry, I am so panicked. It’s embarrassing but I feel so desperate for help right now I feel crazy

Can you guys meditate or/and sit in silence?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!

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
