There’s times where I just wanna escape from reality . So I tried smoking marijuana and I didn’t even smoke alot . And 4 days later after smoking , I feel very odd. Like something is wrong with me and I’m worried I’m going to be stuck like this forever . I don’t know what to do and I’m so scared . I can’t sleep , I can’t relax , my whole body is tensed up. I’m afraid . I don’t know what to do anymore
although marijuana calms down some people Others have the opposite effect I get it though like turning to drugs for relief makes sense I’ve done stuff like that too If your in a position to do so I recommend talking to a doctor about getting on some medication Like yes I’ve had to go to therapy and yes I’ve had to do CBT etc. HOWEVER medication gave me an incredible BOOST that I could never get through “brain exercises” lol https://unstuckmyocd.com/ Not everyone but for a lot a people this Ai personalized chat app (approved by OCD professionals) is a game changer It’s $7 a month but one week free trial
In my opinion, you're probably just feeling some residual effects of the marijuana. While the stoned effects of marijuana last for a number of hours (<24), the thc will stay in your system for roughly a month. That does not mean you'll feel the way you do for a month, but rather its an explanation that your body is getting rid of the thc steadily and as the level of thc in your system decreases, you'll notice the feeling you described less. Drinking lots of water may help with your body processing the thc, and also it might make you feel better being more hydrated. I understand you nerves with trying something new, and I believe its also your nerves amplifying the concerns that are keeping you from relaxing and sleeping. I was about 19 yrs old the first time I experienced getting stoned, and I do recall in the days that followed feeling a little different in the days afterward. I wasn't sure what it was exactly. Maybe a little cloudy in my thoughts. Nowadays I look back and think, I was less on alert. A little less anxious. And a little more subdued. I understand that it can be concerning experiencing something seeming off and maybe not knowing where to turn for information on what your feeling. In my opinion, you're not going to be stuck with the feeling forever. I suspect in a few more days you'll stop noticing the feeling was the thc leaves your body. Yes it takes about a month to completely leave your body, but you'll stop perceiving the effects once the level in you system get below a certain point. I hope some on this information helps, and if you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I believe you'll be ok and I'm happy to share my experiences if it can help allay your concerns.
@Equanimity bound I was finally able to get a full 9 hours of sleep and I feel very rested and a lot more calm now , this made me feel a lot better and quieted down my OCD .
@Anonymous - I'm glad to hear you got some sleep and are feeling better. :)
alright, stoner here. i promise you that you are going to be okay!! everyone has different reactions to marijuana and this is because a number of things; meds, body, mental state, time of day literally so many things. it’s also normal sometimes for your ocd to heighten especially if you don’t smoke often and because of the strain/type of weed. just drink a good amount of water and breathe, our brains like to blame something we can see or know for certain so just remember that
Has anyone ever had experience OCD triggered by weed..? 1.5 years ago i got really high with my boyfriend and i thought about a really traumatizing horror movie i used to obsess over in high school and got a major panic attack. Ever since then i have ocd themes around horror movies and gore, and my brain has been high alert ever since and been a living hell. I want my normal life back…i miss having a clear mind and not living in fear every day. Could the weed have permanently damaged my brain?? Or maybe it was just a trigger? I keep blaming myself for getting too high that day and its given me depression along with ocd. Can someone help/give advice on this?
hey guys! it’s been awhile. i am severely anxious and depressed and have been for about a month and a half ever since i smoked weed, had a panic attack and now suffer real bad with derealization. i wanted to come on here to ask like what i can do to help myself and just make this go away man! and i know here is a safe space because we all have OCD and i think that pure fact is keeping me in the loop. other people with derealization don’t obsess over stuff as much as people with ocd. i also just think that i’ll forever be stuck in this state and it’s causing me to just like go crazy (not literally) i just don’t understand how ONE panic attack could’ve caused this. disclaimer: i’ve never had a panic attack in my life and while i was high for the first time that’s when it happened and the days and weeks following i just haven’t felt the same even though i KNOW nothing hasn’t changed it’s just so hard. i just don’t know what to do to lie get rid of this. i’ve never experienced this in my life.
I tried sativa for the first time last night and now I feel super anxious and my ocd thoughts are kicking in. I never smoke. I feel so uneasy and my head feels weird.
