I tried sativa for the first time last night and now I feel super anxious and my ocd thoughts are kicking in. I never smoke. I feel so uneasy and my head feels weird.

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

My OCD has never been this strong, it's so real, it feels like it will never go away, it's never been this strong for me and it's very scary.

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

I’m freaking out please help

I don’t know if my hormones are extra wild this month or what, but I have been having so many POCD thoughts lately. It feels like I enjoy them in the moment, and then a few seconds later, I get this tiny flicker of *wait I don’t think I actually want to enjoy that.* It’s scaring me a lot. I was watching adult videos for the first time in about a year, since I had been avoiding them because of my OCD. I know they are not good for anyone, but I felt like i could (ironically it felt like a tiny win that my OCD had calmed down enough). But while watching, I had like 3 separate POCD thoughts. And it felt like I liked them. Like genuinely *liked* them. I don’t know if maybe my body was mixing up physical pleasure and mental pleasure, and then my brain inserted those not okay thoughts into the situation, which got tangled up with the pleasure responses I felt mentally and physically. It is all really confusing. I just feel so scared. I know OCD thoughts are supposed to feel real, and that once you get desensitized to the anxiety, they lose their power. But this feels like I am *actually enjoying* the thoughts, and that makes me want to cry. I’m scared that I actually like these thoughts when I’m really aroused :( Please help.
