I suffer from endometriosis and migraines. And I’ve tried everything! I was even given morphine and other opioids by my er doctor and it turns out that not only am I allergic to them but it doesn’t help. I’ve tried everything else. Over the counter, natural, and prescribed. But I’ve heard a lot of people say that weed/edibles is terrible for ocd and ptsd. Should I risk it???
Hmmm that’s a really hard one. I haven’t tried weed before, but from what I know is that it can turn into a crutch. You could start out using for migraines and headaches, only to become dependent on it for its other calming effects. It’s not addictive but it can become a crutch. I personally think the best thing to do would be to try something else. I try to stay away from weed, it’s easy to become dependent on it. Just my thoughts! I’m really sorry u feel that way. Hope you find something that works. Stay strong 👍
I have used cannabis for pain since it became legal bc it completely takes away the pain in my legs from diabetes & headaches. Otherwise I take Tylenol. Morphine and other opioids cause me to hallucinate which is a frightening experience.
I will not take opioids.
It doesn’t hurt to try it just make sure you’re in a safe place when you do and be prepared that it may cause some anxiety but you can handle it if it does. For me personally I avoid it after being a chronic user for years because it really gets me stuck in thought loops and ruminations. However there was a point in time where I really felt like it helped me and didn’t cause this feeling at all. It all depends on you and how you react to it
@Anonymous That being said I do still partake from time to time and I look at it as an opportunity to prove to myself that I can make it through my anxiety/ exposure therapy
Does anyone else have the strong urge to do some sort of drugs sometimes when there ocd gets really bad or over nothing in general, like I’ll just be sitting doing nothing and my brain goes “you need to do cocaine right now or else” and I get a urge and it’s so like odd to me??? I’ve never done drugs in my life and never plan to because my father was a addict and I’ve seen what they’ve done to people so it scares me when I get these thoughts and then I get the urge to reach out to someone who can give me drugs and I play this whole scenario in my mind where I contact someone and I meet up with them and pay them for the drugs and then I take them and die and it’s like??? Idk I’ve had weird intrusive thoughts involving drugs before but this is like different if that makes sense, I also can’t stop focusing on how my body feels when this happens like it’ll feel like I was a previous addict and that I’m going through withdrawal and need something or else and it’s just so weird to me. Anyone else go through this?
So something that kinda pops up with my anxiety is about a year or so ago i ate an edible gummy after not doing anything for a while and i tripped out really bad… for example i thought i was gonna overdose and die, and that i was already dead.. that is the most fear i have felt in my entire life, and even though its over and has been over i have this constant fear in my mind “what if your still high and this is all a dream” or “your gonna wake up and it will still be that night” i never wanna feel that way again. i can’t even go around the smell of weed with out freaking out. i can’t take pills, or vitamin gummies because “what if it will make me high” when it comes to sleeping i wanna try this dr teals sleep blend but i struggle so much with it because of my mind saying “it will make you feel high”.. even when i feel tired i feel scared cause it reminds me of feeling high.. its just i feel so stuck with the same reaccrujng thought “this could be the time you wake up and it was all just a dream” “you could wake up from coma and this was all imagined” i don’t know what else to do, its my own mind no one can help me and that sucks i don’t know how to win the battle when it’s such a deep rooted fear. i feel like im pushing my family away. i feel so numb.
I am honestly desperate to try anything, I tried prozac and it works but it makes me gain weight which makes my body image issues even worse, so I need help. Has anyone tried it?
