For me, weed helps to control the intrusive thoughts. Better than antidepressants do. It seemed like a good cheaper alternative, until I started to use it for my depression. The high from weed is temporary, and once you realize the party’s over, you get back on it even harder. So I quit it for now.

@idonknow I keep thinking what if I was sexually abused then I said is that why I’m attracted to triggers. But I’m not, am I saying that because I feel false attraction and I believe it’s true when it’s not

@idonknow Thanks! It’s just like any other drug honestly. But right now, I’m staying off it because it messes up my depression and also can show up on pre employment drug tests. I want to have a career and live a fulfilling life.

@soupyhat Sounds horrible I’m sorry:( weed can be relaxing sometimes and i feel like anxiety is bad on its own but being anxious while on weed is like a very heightened anxiety.. and i know why people stay away I smoke weed basically everyday and I like it but sometimes I get really anxious and it gets my thinking worse

For me it is a BIG NO. It was fine while I was high, but 2 weeks after the intrusive thoughts become worse and more repetitive than the usual

I love cannabis, and used it everyday. However, I cannot tolerate high levels of thc. I vape cbd flower and sprinkle small amounts of thc with it. I used to be able smoke high thc, but as I’ve got older it’s changed

I’ve actually avoided using weed for this purpose because I don’t know which way my OCD would react and I don’t want to either 1. Traumatize myself or 2. Develop an addiction

@idonknow Do you usually use the same strain every time and notice it still makes you feel different ways? That’s interesting

@Anonymous69 No i don’t use the same strain ! Sometimes I smoke and my heart starts racing a bit I think it’s the anxiety it makes me feel like I have something to be very worried about, I get the same feeling when I don’t smoke too though so idk 🙁lol

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!

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
