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?

cw: weed talk Does anyone have any success stories with using pot, and/or cbd? I recently got my medical card and I’d LOVE to hear strain recommendations, what ratios work best for you, how much you tend to need, etc. Just anything that can help me with the weed <-> ocd correlation. Thanks!

Has anyone heard or tried using medical marijuana? I have been using the meds the doctor gave me and up and up the doses but still feeling the same, i was looking into other meds and options and saw articles saying it helped people with ocd. I’m thinking of going to my doctor to see what he thinks, but wanted to know if anyone on here has tried it?

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?
