Does it help or make your ocd worse?

Didn’t help with intrusive thoughts. Honestly, made me feel more withdrawn and depressed.

It can make it better because it can help manage your mood, it'll eventually get to the point where it controls your mood and you'll be dependent on it. Your body also may build up an intolerance and may lead to all sorts of issues. Another thing is, a lot of it come from unreliable sources and can be laced with other drugs so it's all a gamble. Bottom line, I wouldn't if I were you. Just like compulsions, it offers false sanctuary but ultimately will make things worse

I have tried using THC for the past 5 years. For me, if I’m in a decent headspace, it makes me a lot more comfortable in my own skin. Temporarily. I have addictive tendencies, so I end up overdoing it. After a month or so of heavy use, I hit a wall of extreme anxiety. I stop cold turkey, and go through a nightmare of OCD (and withdrawals) for 4-6 weeks. Eventually, I feel a little better, try it again and repeat the cycle. I wish it worked for me, but it’s just not in the cards. Others may have different results, but it ends up fueling my OCD.

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 ?

New diagnosis
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
