The aftermath of Getting high

Yesterday I got high ( by weed ), it was really fun and I felt like I had peace of mind. When I woke up this morning I was afraid, afraid that what if I did something horrible and then forgot about it, because I was under the influence. I am currently in a cottage with some of my vest friends, but I am in a state of so much panic and anxiety. I am afraid that my friends are withholding information about the night, and that they now think I am a terrible and dangerous human being. I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have any advise on how to deal with ocd in relation to getting high, and the aftermath of that.

This is called Hangxiety! I like to picture myself in the future telling the story of what I did when I was inebriated. It helps me normalize actions. And asking friends what they remember what they did could help. You can hear how they felt or acted and sympathize with any bad feelings, or empathize that because they were high they acted differently than they wanted to. The kindness you show to your friends can help you associate it with self kindness.

@A Little Mouse thank you! I have tried to talk to my friends and asked them if I did anything morally wrong or just stupid and they said that I didn’t do anything, but I cannot convince myself of that

@Pureocdsucks It's important to trust your friends. You can do everything like asking them to check on you while you're high, making sure you pace yourself, or even going sober around them. But that's not getting gonna stop the compulsions or the fixations. Some people get contact high just from being around stoned friends. Ultimately, not seeking validation can be a goal that better benefits your friends and you. It's okay to want to be able to let loose without being lost to compulsions. And you're worth it :).

maybe consider not smoking and limiting alcohol? and having a person to look out for you when you do

This is the hard part where you can’t have a for sure answer. If you keep looking for it it will only make your ocd worse. Be like okay maybe I did maybe I didn’t but I’m still going to move forward. It’s hard but living with uncertainty is the answer you are looking for.
