Does anybody else get triggered with post about finding your true self while under drugs? I had a bad experience smoking some weed. I was telling my self I wanted to be with a guy. That I wanted it.

Yeah but with being drunk

Some people might have that experience, but for anyone with OCD, “finding your true self” is practically impossible because intrusive thoughts warp our perception of self whenever we try. That experience was OCD, plain and simple. But next time that happens, don’t waste your energy doing mental compulsions to try to “figure out” what those thoughts mean or why you’re having them. Simply say to yourself, “maybe that means I want to be with a guy, but maybe it’s just OCD, or maybe it’s something else entirely.” And let that uncertainty be your answer. Go no further to figure it out.

Like I used to drink alcohol on parties (not much but still) and now I cant even try a drop of alcohol cause I think that will expose “my true self”

Yeah I can understand why that would be upsetting. I was worried because I had my first intrusive thought about HOCD when I was high but then I realized weed had been making me depressed and anxious for awhile about other themes as well. In my case, drugs just make my OCD and anxiety worse, I’ve even felt suicidal, which I know these are not my true thoughts

I had a similar experience on lsd... which is horrible because sometimes people say u find yourself ect on that. But i had a thought that i was gay and it fucking scared me so bad that i changed the subject and tried not to think about it.... and when i was holding it in not trying to think about it... here i am a year later with the same feelings.... of just thinking about it all the time.... was i just high or was that the truth or was it just a simple thought that im afraid of

It happened while high twice already. It sucks. I dont know what it means but it scares the shit out of me.

This is the exact reason I was always terrified to get my wisdom teeth out and why I never drink alcohol
