I smoked way too much weed on Saturday and I still don’t feel completely normal. I’ve smoked too much before and have had this same feeling but I’m scared it won’t go away. I was hyperventilating, my heart was beating super fast, and I had no idea what was going on around me. Now I’m scared to eat because I feel like someone put drugs in my food. I don’t feel real and I’m scared it won’t go away. Please help
Maybe you should go to the hospital. Weed has a lot more thc now than it used to, and it's very possible to overdose on it. I'd recommend to not do drugs in general, especially if you have ocd. Weed can also trigger psychosis. It's a really bad idea
@Cats in the dark This was two days ago, I’ve been working all day today and it’s starting to get better. I’m just definitely going to stay away from it from now on, thank you 🙏
Sorry to contradict the comment above but I don't think you need to go to the hospital. I am an avid weed smoker and I can assure you that you likely did not overdose, it is more common to overdose with edibles but overdosing on thc is not fatal in any way. You are likely feeling increased paranoia from the amount of weed you smoked but you will be okay.
@Anonymous I was to the point where I was ready to die, my girlfriend had to come pick me up and take care of me. I fully blacked out, the last thing I remembered was being on my back in the driveway with my friends huddled around me. Their voices were all echoey and I was just sitting there shaking
Honestly even if overdosing is not fatal, it can cause psychosis and that's pretty dangerous. We also don't know where he got the weed so it could be laced with other stuff. Drugs in general are a big no no with ocd tbh, it makes it so much worse
@NathanOrput I'm glad you're staying away from it now, blacking out is definitely scary and please take care of yourself
You’re probably feeling anxiety from feeling funny from the weed.I do not take drugs or weed , but I do know that I felt anxiety being drunk.weed or ways of intoxication can definitely affect your OCD and make you feel anxious if you feel different on them.  also, if weed is causing you in  intense anxiety,you may wanna think about trying some other way to calm down instead. The few times I’ve been intoxicated with alcohol I kinda of freaked out a little bit not gonna lie with my OCD, it made me feel very anxious not being fully mentally there. I panic that there is something wrong with me and my friends one time told me about it and they’re like we’re not gonna drink with you anymore, you freak out every time. I was a little embarrassed, but I appreciate their honesty. You’ll probably feel a little bit better when it wears off.
These comments are feeding into this & it’s very triggering. I have felt this before, as well as many other people I know & it DOES go away. You do not need to go to the hospital over it. Sometimes weed can cause you to have headaches the next day. Almost like a hangover & sometimes people are more sensitive to this. I don’t know what methods you use to calm yourself down, but try to allow yourself to relax & know that this is not going to last forever. 🤍🫶🏼
100% with anonymous and Naviemaris on this. There's 0 data to back up a medical emergency for an od. Regardless how you felt it's not a thing but welcome to the world of burning ocd. The weed is gone, other drugs would have passed, but the ocd isn't. You're triggered that's it. Focus on erp, learning reassurance seeking avoidance, and IF you use again remember high dose fast cause all astronauts to orbit.

Hi all, So this weekend I went away with my partner and friends. Friday night I guess I was being spontaneous and took more then the recommended dosage of an edible. Long story short yesterday I was not “present” at all. I was in an out of this high state. Extremely uncomfortable. My anxiety shot through the roof and my body went into complete panic attack. Today, (Sunday) I am still feeling distressed. I feel high still, not alive and really anxious. Is this common worn people who have high anxiety/triggered panic attacks? I think I’m more scared of the outer body I had all day yesterday and not feeling alive.
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.
