I heard cbd doesn’t work for ocd

I recently started taking cbd for anxiety. I started with a more hemp based product from American Shaman with mild results. I noticed some positive like increased sleep and improved mood, not to mention less anxiety but wasn’t sure if it was placebo. I used the 300mg water soluble solution from American Shaman. That however did not address my acute anxiety, so I got a vape pen with a Ratio of 20 to 1 and that cbd to thc and I love what it does for my immediate anxiety. It doesn’t make me groggy. I’m focused and calm and if I have an intrusive thought, I’m better able to process it. I also recently bought a tincture from Americaana which is 20 to 1 ratio and it also calms me down and allows me to process my thoughts from a calmer place. I hope this helps.

Cbd works wonders for me!! Helps control my intrusive thoughts. My general anxiety is lower. And my depression is completely controlled. I started with - 30:1 CBD THC but now I only take that in the morning and at night to help me sleep I take 1:1 CBD THC

I don’t have a lot of experience with CBD but I have my medical card and it really controlled a lot of my big intrusive thoughts and obsessions. I still have some compulsions and bad days too but I like to use a high thc sativa (which some people say makes them more paranoid but idk it’s different for me-I think it depends on your opinion on it and environment) and I think and write or meditate and I’ll basically talk myself through my fears that I am too afraid to say aloud to a therapist. It’s like a therapy session for me. I think about life and what is really important and I’m just really compassionate towards myself instead of critical. My mind is only focused on the present moment and what’s in front of me. I’m not obsessing over past things or worrying about future “what if’s”. It also helps with any irritability that anxiety causes and takes away the dark cloudy feeling if I’m depressed so I can actually enjoy the people around me or whatever I’m doing. Also gives me an appetite. Sativas are generally uplifting and stimulating on the mind. I like indicas for insomnia, restlessness/nighttime use.

This is killing me slowly day by day, im a straight female 20 years old, i started getting hocd after a break up with an ex and coming off intense use of 🍁🍃 for a few years on and off, i think it has messed up my brain so bad… my hocd is weird because ive been with men my whole life always wanted to be with men.. i also used to always question every relationship “do i love him? Does he love me? Am I with the right person?” Anyways after my hocd triggered my tocd due to researching hocd and finding they can often be linked, I started getting tocd and it’s worse then ever because it’s not who I want to be and I’m going back to situations where my abusive ex partner called me a “man” during a fight. I’ve always been a tomboy but never had same sex attraction. Help. This is killing me. I haven’t been able to study or leave the house most days, and work! I’ve lost motivation for everything and I’m in a dark hole. I need some success stories please

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.
