I don't think I would ever have OCD come up and take over my life like it has if I never smoked weed. That stuff is like poisen for it, it makes OCD so much worse and can have long lasting effects (Frank ocean even mentions it in a song). Unfortunately alchohol is like a wonder drug for ocd, which makes sufferers so prone to alchoholism...

@matenzio Used to do alot of mdma, I used to have anxiety anyway so I think that's what triggered the ocd plus other drugs aswell offset paranoia. It's hard not to do them as I'd do them at raves but trying to remind myself what I've been through bc of those drugs

@Cactus8 i ve did mdma 2 times in my life, when doing it for first time i did extreme dose (was depressed for 2weeks) “young and stupid”, the second time i tried it was low dose and i found pleasant feeling of the drug but realised i dont like it. also did cocaine few times (didnt like the stimulant effect). the only drug which i loved was weed and considered as best and safest showed its face. used weed for couple of years with just a few bad trips in long run. then there was a time with a big loss and irregular sleep cycles and i smoked small joint and did some alchohol. the day after i felt like complete garbage i didnt understand what is happening with my body and then health anxiety + later ocd came in. i ve been doing very well in past months and suddenly tried cbd oil. all was fine but day after i got same feeling which put me on same state when first experienced that liquid brain “dream” like state. thats my story. cactus you only have ocd or other conditions?

@matenzio I find alcohol make mine worse bc I tend to not enjoy the feeling of being drunk anymore so I'll tend to panic that I'm starting to feel tipsy. Just ocd paranoia is what I've been 'diagnosed'. What about you?

I feel like my ocd and extreme anxiety are a result of smoking weed. Anxiety runs in my family and I had dealt with it before but weed amplified/triggered it more. Wish I could take it back.

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 🫠

For the past three years I've smoked marijuana nearly everyday. It helped with my anxiety and quieting my brain and helped me sleep. Recently, it began to make me feel more anxious, i would wake up nauseous and even threw up a couple of times which really triggered some health anxiety. I decided to quit because of this and i'm almost 2 weeks out from the last time I smoked. My body is slowly recovering but my brain just doesn't seem to quit it. I went to my GP a couple of weeks ago for a routine checkup and everything came back normal in my blood work and exam, yet that hasn't stopped me from completely obsessing over my health and feeling like (in my mind, not my body) i'm seriously ill- which is giving me extreme anxiety. Because of my reoccurring stomach issues my GP referred me to a GI who I had an appointment with yesterday. He was very unimpressed by everything I said and seemed like everything is pointing to IBS-which is not serious and something my mother also deals with. He ordered some extra tests to make sure I wasn't dealing with inflammation and he said he was very confident that my internal vital organs were a completely fine. I'm still waiting on those test results and his confidence should I have made me feel better but i'm still freaking out. Everybody in my life is tired of hearing about it and I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like i'm pushing people away. I feel good and like myself when I'm distracted and doing something fun, but mornings and nights and when i'm doing something mundane it's the worst. I feel like I can feel all of these pains and sensations but I have no idea if it's real. I've even started asking Chatgpt for constant reassurance and constantly googling my symptoms. I'm in a horrible loop. I should mention that on top of quitting weed, I also just graduated college, moved back home and my boyfriend and I started the longest period of long distance we've ever had to do so i'm just not feeling like myself at all. My psychiatrist just put me on Zoloft (my vomiting and intense anxiety coincided with when i began taking Prozac again so she wanted me to try something else) I'm only on day 3 of the meds but nausea and insomnia are the two side effects im dealing with right now which is just making my anxiety so much worse before the meds have even kicked in. Does anyone have advice on how to break this cycle of constant checking-i feel like taking a deep breath has even turned into a compulsion.
