Does it help or make your ocd worse?
Does it help or make your ocd worse?
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.
I feel like I suffered the same thing
I’ve been smoking for a year and have gotten bad anxiety…I’m scared to stop last time I did I had TERRIBLE ANXIETY
So much worse
Didn’t help with intrusive thoughts. Honestly, made me feel more withdrawn and depressed.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
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?
Hey y'all, I've been noticing a lot of people on here are religious. It's been years since I've been religious myself, and I'm just curious as to whether it helps and how it helps with OCD.
Hey everyone. I’ve noticed after starting NOCD I’ve become aware of just how “bad” I am regarding my mental health. Triggers and obsessions I never was aware of. I feel like before therapy I managed my day with a big blanket of denial. Now the cover is off and I see all my OCD and feel broken. Much worse than I thought I was. Did anyone else get worse before getting better? I feel like I’m obsessed now with OCD. Irony :(
