Hi all, I am curious what others experiences are with marijuana usage. I feel like marijuana exacerbates my OCD and provokes really visual intrusive thoughts. I am wondering if others can relate?
Oh yeah I can’t do it! Even if there aren’t images it literally brings similar sensations as anxiety.
I can’t smoke weed because it makes me paranoid and also I think it makes my intrusive thoughts worse and my anxiety bad.
If I do it at all, it’s like a literal puff and I’m good. I don’t do more than that. I feel the effects really easily, so one is good enough for me and its little enough so that I don’t get anxiety from it. In high quantities it most definitely makes it worse.
Definitely not recommended since weed makes most people more paranoid.
I’m a 23 year old student and have been smoking for a few years daily, it’s never really affected any of my symptoms tbh however I do take citalopram (celexa) which probably helps, however if it’s making your ocd symptoms worse I’d give it a rest and let your brain level itself out, because if you keep having these experiences while smoking the more it’ll cause future anxiety. I’d say chill out for a while and let it be and then when things are getting on better, ease back into it and hopefully you’ll feel better for it
@Eire2000 Also After 2 years of being nearly symptom free, I went into a really really bad relapse due to my medication being adjusted, and at the moment I’m off smoking, I’m not certain I’d enjoy it at the minute with how things are but as I said above, taking my own advice and letting it be for a while until my head levels out
@Eire2000 And sorry one last thing but also I do have some crazy shit come into my head when I’m smoking but I always just try distract myself and watch some stupid af videos or something lol
Thank you all!
I tried it twice. The first time was an edible gummy and it was a very little dosage to the point where I was slightly high but not super high and I was with my best friend who didn’t get high and it was fine. The second time tho it was a brownie edible and i took wayyy more than I should have and it hit really really bad and I was super paranoid so I’m too scared to try anything ever again especially since now, my OCD is worse
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!
Wondering if any of you have tried cannabis for your ocd and if it helped or made it worse.
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
