Cannabis?
Do you find it helps or hurts your OCD? I’m coming to realize it worsen my symptoms particularly if I consume it during the day as it also can affect my sleep which is terrible for my OCD.

My advice is to stay away from any "mind altering" substances, they are merely bandaids. The temporary relief can feel amazing but it's short lived. I say this from experience over 20 years trying to chase OCD away with alcohol/marijuana, it never worked and made me worse off physically/mentally. I'm now sober for about 5 months and my anxiety has reduced dramatically. I hope this helps. God bless

what a coincidence i was just googling if cannabis worsens ocd or not. It seemed to help me at first but long term it has made my ocd symptoms worse. i think it’s the reason i relapsed but i use it a lot.

@Ocdsucks Yeah it’s actually the same for me that didn’t even occur to me if I go long periods of time in between it helps but used daily it starts making it worse

1 month sober & i’ll say.. my anxiety definitely increased. i had, and still am having, a pretty bad relapse in my OCD. but i figured its better to learn how to work through these things instead of drown them out. i’m thinking more clearly now! i became SO dependent; everyday for the past 3 or so years.

I have been wanting to explore this or potentially the Delta 8 concept. Any idea?

Can you guys meditate or/and sit in silence?
My ocd gets so loud in the silence and right before bed when there’s no distractions. I always struggled with anxiety since my teens and guided meditation used to help… until OCD. First time trying guided meditation with OCD I had an intrusive thought of “what if you actually lose control and can’t follow these instructions?” And got even more anxious 🫠🫠🫠 had to stop, and haven’t tried to meditate ever since. Just curious to know. Sometimes I feel like I have the worst type of OCD. It will latch onto anything to make me anxious!

Sleep and OCD?
Does anyone else's OCD get worse when you haven't slept well? I haven't been sleeping well since this weekend and my OCD and anxiety is just making me feel super down. Does anyone else have this problem?

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
