Marijuana, for me, makes my thoughts so much worse & all the accompaniment of physical symptoms. If I do want to use it, I use a 3:1 gummy (cbd:thc) bc that relaxes my body but my mind stays the normal amount of annoying.

I would be really mindful of the total thc content and psychoactive affect(been smoking for a while medically 2+ yrs and recent diagnosis) and i find that if i ruminate on the fact that i smoked and it might be horrid for me— 1:1 thc:cbd or more diluted would work for you because it produces almost no psychoactive affect- the cbd and thc being together give the entourage affect its name. the phenomenon that having cbd and thc both present, not just concentrates of either one, can be useful for different purposes— this 1:1 ratio is thought to be incredibly medically useful and is usually for cancer patients. psycho active weed usually has 10:1 or more concentration

I will on occasion take edibles that I am familiar with and they make it very easy to relax my body and release tension that I’ve been holding onto. I feel a distance from the intrusive thoughts I think because I become very dialed into the moment. Also I forgive myself way more. Smoking weed can be a bit different though, especially around people. I think it’s all about the mindset you have when you go into it too. Like if you’re already having a bad day, i wouldn’t do anything. I also purposefully don’t do weed or drink a whole lot because I have family history of addiction, so I am very mindful of my limits.

@andyminshew sounds like you have added a layer to the cycle and that might be increasing the uncertainty. I don’t have any experience, but I hope you can work on the original rumination with your responses.

@andyminshew Sitting on uncertainty is hard. I am better at it on some than others. I am grateful for times i practice even when it is hard. I never thought I would say “maybe” to my obsession and feel kind of ok with that.

@andyminshew Have you done the SOS button on the lower right corner of the therapy page? It helped me a couple of times.

I’ve actually been very curious about this myself. My past experience with marijuana have been positive and negative. I know they have specific cannabis to help with certain things like anxiety and I was curious how this would go if I implemented it into my daily routine.

Medication
Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

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!
