Yep, it cools off my obsessive thoughts. I try not to rely on it though

I like to cook something with a spoon of cannabutter once a week, i usually feel really free, I can do my chores without much difficulty, with low anxiety and it also boosts my confidence a little bit. I usually do this on Thursday, and the effects on the next morning are mild enough to not have an impact on my work. On the weekends I have some time with my significant other, and feel good, but Mondays are worst...

Yes and small amounts (smoking once a day) really helps me focus on the important things and shuts all the other obsessions off for a while. I used to be a very heavy smoker (many times a day) and this had HUGE negative effects, so I cut down and found my “sweet spot”. For some people it makes it worse, you will only know if you try. Just try a little and make sure you are in a comfortable place with someone you feel completely comfortable around. Or else the weed can make those anxious thoughts worse.

Yes I use it mostly to fall asleep and stay asleep. However I do use it recreationally as well and I’ve found that this keeps me most calm and easy going, whereas other drugs or alcohol have intensified my OCD.

Weed helps me look at myself as if I were a third party looking in and seeing the ridiculousness of OCD. It frees my mind when I am in a state of endless thoughts and anxiety

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 ?

Help me need insight
When I smoke weed when I think of non ocd things or themes, my head starts to make sense of things I feel more open and I think clearer. So that’s where my big concern is!!! Because when I’m high and think of ocd things like being a killer, or someone who’s a sociopath or someone that can be a pedo it feels real like my mind is clearer that I am these things Any one who has experienced weed with ocd help me I need insight on this im very confused and it’s causing me to ruminate all day
