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.

Medication for OCD?
Medication for OCD? Hello all, 19 male here, this seems like a cool community that isn’t nearly as triggering as reddit. I have pretty severe bouts of existential thinking or fear of going crazy ( psychosis ) after some pretty heavy mushroom trips a few years ago, I know logically I should be fine but I do know what it’s like to lose it and it’s scary. Currently I deal with relationship focused OCD, it’s all day from before I even open my eyes. I want things to work out with my girlfriend badly. Also I can come close to a panic attack sometimes which perpetuates everything. Anyway, I mention the fear of going crazy because the way my anxiety/derealization makes me feel is that I’m not mentally stable cause I feel out of it or unreal. I saw that a lot of anxiety and depression medication can cause psychosis and I feel like I could use some help in getting ahead of my OCD because the compulsions are had not to give into when I’m in such distress/not knowing. Plus overall I just feel like I have no idea how I feel about close to anything. Anyone relate about that ?

New diagnosis
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?

My partner has severe OCD
Hello i got this app hoping to maybe find some support for my partner i thought about reddit but reddit has become a hateful place and i figured this is a safe place. i love my partner more than anything and he’s been struggling with OCD his whole life he has a hard time talking about it with anyone because it’s too painful he’s stated that it’s gotten worse as he’s gotten older His biggest issue right now is overwhelming thoughts of his actions having tragic outcomes and being unable to stop these obsessive thoughts (such as needing to check out door handle 5 times to make sure it’s locked but still panicking that it’s unlocked) he’s not open to one on one therapy or meds although he loves learning and watching informative videos i fear he’s afraid to confront his OCD or just afraid nothing will help i really wanna help him live a stress free and happy life he deserves it would anyone possibly have any ways to naturally help with OCD or recommend any great individuals that could share techniques on managing OCD or helping your partner with OCD? i would very much appreciate it!
