My psychiatrist said to stop smoking weed because not only is it a compulsion but getting high can make the thoughts worse. It definitely helps with anxiety but then i get into this weird state of not knowing what’s real and fake. Idk why
I’m not here to pass judgement, but you should be very careful. I did that too. Although it really helped with refocusing and calming my intrusive thoughts, there is no telling what will happen once you crash or it fades away. You would definitely crave it more. Not saying that it is a bad thing, but it’s better avoided completely. If you truly think you can get to a point without compulsing and can do it without being addicted, you have my 100% respect and admiration. But that is very rare, especially with OCD.
I know it’s hard to quit smoking so if you do try I am proud of you💜
@ceejanine 🩷 thank you
hey, that sounds super tough to deal with. the back and forth with anxiety and those unreal feelings must be really exhausting. you're not alone in this. 🌱 i've been down that road with my ocd too, and what was a game-changer for me was this free AI tool called "unstuck" (unstuckmyocd.com/try) my therapist recommended. it's tailored for moments like yours, providing personalized, step-by-step support similar to what an ocd therapist would offer. i hate when people promote stuff, but i really think it can help you because it's changed my life. lmk if you have Qs or just want to talk more! <3
Thoughts about marijuana and ocd anyone?? Personally smoking causes more anxiety until i build my tolerance and then i just want to get higher and higher so i stoped smoking lol. Just been sticking to alcohol lately. Hard to quit when ur in college and all my friends are alcoholics lol. Alc def helps me with ocd. I feel like my real self when I’m drunk all anxiety goes away
I’m wondering what are your guys thoughts on marijuana use and those of us who have ocd who use it regularly
Does it help or make your ocd worse?
