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?

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

Eating and ocd
Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠
