My personal experience it helps a lot with me but can put me at risk for extra depression if I use it too often. I find CBD and exercise together to benefit the most. Cbd helps my joints feel better while exercising and the endorphins help so much

I hope there is because my neighbors right next door sell it. So that would be convenient. I used the balm on my hands since I itch so much due to my anxiety and the smell alone just calmed me down it was crazy. And how soft it made my hands. And someone told me it helps them with relaxing and falling asleep so maybe??? Its worth a try but I know you have to use it for a bit to have it get into your system like anything else.

Oh man, was really hoping the comments would be a ton of links to more CBD studies. The problem in general is that all things weed or hemp related have (or have had) a hard time getting approval, ie, scientific studies. It’s known to help seizures. Many agree it helps with calming and sleep and a host of other things. I think it works pretty quickly, unlike antidepressants. I use it when needed, and depending on the delivery method, it’s seconds, or minutes to work. Another big problem is that the Rx/“medicinal” version is very expensive and not covered for many ailments for insurance. And the self-treatment/“recreational” versions are not very well regulated. My psychiatrist likes that I use it and that it seems to help me, but he wishes we could track it more scientifically.

Oh okay yeah, all of that makes a lot of sense thank you! I hope they get approval, what if this ends up being like a life changing thing that’d be awesome! Maybe it’s just my wishful thinking but ya never know.

@Where’sMySerotonin? The good news is that hemp agricultural laws are finally lifting/lifted, and even marijuana/thc is gaining legality, so hopefully more and more studies will be approved. It probably won’t be the cure-all we want it to be, but it’s promising to be helpful for more than mainstream knows now.

@Where’sMySerotonin? Oh, also, I’ve not heard of CBD having much in the way of negativit side effects, at least for the CBD itself. So for me, it was worth it to try.

Cranial osteopathy was one I tried, that worked alongside a specific meditation that I will not share for safety reasons. That brought up memories of events that were the birth of some of my compulsions, fears and behaviours. It mainly targeted the traumas in my life in which my ocd is comorbid. Next on my list to try is reiki, to see if that has any effect in calming me down or grounding me. I'll respond with results next week. 3rd is hypnotherapy which I'm excited to start as it's something I wish to go into. I want to experience it first hand before I consider investing in an education on it. 4th is neurofeedback therapy which looks really promising with all the stuff I've seen. I think there may be a real good combination of things in which we can rewire our brain and body. I feel so excited about this, that I don't know where to start 😅🤯

Wondering if any of you have tried cannabis for your ocd and if it helped or made it worse.

I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
