I’m sorry to hear that. Have you tried doing therapy yet with an ocd specialist and have you considered taking medication as it can help to reduce your anxiety and some of your compulsions?

I take Zoloft 100mg, I’m looking into talking to a therapist in person as I often do better with that. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do now to try and get rid of these thoughts as they happen?

@Anonymous All you have to do is to sit with your thoughts and anxiety and not do any compulsions. This may seem hard but overtime you will realise that your thoughts are not real and you can be safe in those situations.

Thank you so much, I’ve been trying to work on that the sos function has been helping a lot I just get scared often from these thoughts and that they’ll come true. Also trying so hard not to smoke It’s so hard because sometimes it feels like that’s the only thing that’ll help.

Ocd can make us believe that our thoughts are real but in reality they are not. Ocd is a doubting condition. Instead of smoking maybe you could try meditation, using a diffuser, or going for a walk or doing something that makes you happy and relaxed.

@hanajade What does a doubting condition mean? Like I’m sorry for asking so many questions this is just my first time actually realizing what ocd is and trying to get help fixing it.

@Anonymous A doubting condition is when ocd makes you doubt everything about yourself and your thoughts. So the ocd likes to make you believe that your thoughts will come true but in reality they won’t. You are allowed to ask as many questions as you want. I only got diagnosed with ocd this year. We are all in the app because we suffer from the same conditions and we are all here to support people not to give up on their road to recovery.

Hey man I smoked weed every single day (multiple times a day) for 5 years so I can completely understand where you are at. If the smoke is what is causing you the issue and you feel like the effects of THC helps you then I suggest a different way of consuming it. If you live in a state where medicinal marijuana is legal I suggest you get your medical card and go to a local dispensary. They have anything from sublingual oils to capsules. I used this for a while because it was the only thing that helped my anxiety but it got to a point where I realized that weed had already given me what it had to give me and now it was often causing me to get lost in my thoughts and was making my OCD worse. Quitting was hard but I feel like it was the right thing for me but I also understand the healing it brought me when I needed it. I wish you inner peace my friend

When I smoke weed when I think of non ocd things or themes, my head starts to make sense of things I feel more open and I think clearer. So that’s where my big concern is!!! Because when I’m high and think of ocd things like being a killer, or someone who’s a sociopath or someone that can be a pedo it feels real like my mind is clearer that I am these things Any one who has experienced weed with ocd help me I need insight on this im very confused and it’s causing me to ruminate all day

i am convinced im a psycho killer. everytime im around my mom or sister i get these intense thoughts of stabbing or hurting them. when they’re not around its not as intense but its still there. its literally on my mind 24/7. im so tense 24/7. were currently looking for a puppy for the family and when me and my sister were playing with them today the thought was still there. nothing distracts me from it. video games and EVERYTHING else doesn’t work. im starting to feel like i WANT to do these things. i was never like this until i had a marijuana induced panic attack in january. i feel like something happened to my brain and its not just ocd anymore. i dont even know if im faking it. i have suffered from relationship ocd, pedophile ocd, and health ocd. i got over those relatively quickly. this new theme came out of nowhere after a panic attack on a plane coming home from a horror convention in february. i dont see a way out of this one. its been months. i try to let them sit and i get a panic attack. all i do everyday is cry. i feel like my life is over. i talk to a therapist and i have tried two medications that didnf work work. i dont know how to live like this. im afraid im gonna lose my relationship and im afraid im gonna lose my whole life ahead of me. im just 22. i just want the old me back.

Hey guys today I just wanted to come here and share an experience I have and I generally don't know what to do I feel like a terrible person for having these thoughts and for thinking them I genuinely don't know what to do I don't know the signs behind it and why I think the way I do but it's honestly driving me crazy I don't know what to do I have a pornography addiction for a long time it's where it's like anytime I'm an intimate moment or am masturbating my head just thinks these weird things always the same repetitive thoughts to of family members your younger sibling or a young child I myself am a 17 year old and I feel so disgusted I feel like I can't live my life anymore I feel like I'm a criminal cuz like it feels like I chose this these thoughts like I actively think them I don't know the signs behind it and I just really need professional help if there's any like therapist here that could fill me in that would be nice I would also like to know if you guys had any similar experiences because for me I feel like I have to rewatch pornography and do it right without the thoughts cuz I feel like the thoughts are just like to prevalent anytime I do anything related to masturbation why do I think this way I'm also just trying to be as honest as I can with this I'm not trying to make myself I guess a victim I'm trying to hold myself accountable if I actually am like this because I also have doubts in my head that tells me that I enjoy these things I feel like I'm going crazy someone help because it feels so real like I acted on them or that I was pleasuring myself to the thoughts and not towards the video it's just how can I live with myself you know also during it it felt like I was thinking the thought for a long period of time like it was dominating my head so I couldn't focus it felt l
