Natural and good are not synonymous. So, just because something is “natural” doesn’t mean it’s a preferred or better form of treatment. That being said, people’s experience with weed varies. For many people, it tends to exacerbate their symptoms. Myself included. There’s no way of knowing if you’ll be impacted similarly. But proceed with caution if you’re considering it. It’s fine to be cautious about drugs that are addictive as well. So, it’s reasonable to have apprehensions about using benzodiazepines. But, the best person to work that out with is your doctor, not any of us online.

I got my med card specifically for anxiety and weed ended up making my OCD so much worse. Really really bad obsessions with the possibility of developing schizophrenia, really paranoid that once I got high I would get “stuck” and never regain control of my mind. Everyone’s experience is different tho!! CBD didn’t make it worse but it didn’t help a ton either

Yes I take a full spectrum CBD when my anxiety is bad and it REALLY helps. I get mine from Biomdplus it's such a good brand.

I don’t recommend weed, it increases my paranoia aka makes my anxiety skyrocket. Everyone is different, but I don’t recommend at all. CBD however has been wonderful, especially for sleeping!

Yeah I definitely don’t need my paranoia increased right now. Just need something to calm me down. I tried CBD tinctures like two weeks after my OCD started (started July) and if I remember correctly it did calm me down some. I should have kept using it lol

@kej25 Lol yeah that’s the thing with CBD, is you have to use it regularly to feel the full benefits. I like to vape it! It’s easy and instantly relaxes me.

I’ve been taking full spectrum CBD gummies and it helped with general anxiety when I had the OCD under control. Now that the OCD is out of control, I’m at a really bad point to where I’m not leaving the house, the CBD has no effect whatsoever on me. I almost wonder if it possibly caused my downward spiral somehow....

I quit smoking weed like 2 months ago because I noticed it was making my anxiety worse. I actually smoked last night to see what would happen and I ended up feeling really anxious lol I don’t want to make it seem like weed is bad because when I first started smoking weed like 5 years ago, it was amazing for me. It helped me out tremendously, I just feel like it’s no longer serving that role for me.

Ocd/going crazy
Hi about a week ago I found out I have ocd and chronic anxiety! I tried zoloft and it was terrible for me. I also started therapy and I take hydroxyzine but I will discuss further medication with my doctor. My question is I have a huge fear that I'm going crazy, I am crazy, or schizophrenic to the point I'm so hyper aware of my surrounding ill look out the corner of my eye to make sure I'm nit seeing anything ill make sure to double check what I'm hearing and it's so draining! I get really scared and go into a panic and cry 😅 I need some reassurance has anyone felt this way my doctor and therapist explained it to me but I'm still very scared. I feel like one day I'll have a break and I won't be the same! I tried the grounding exercise and breathing it helps temporarily. I also cut out smoking weed and none of my family has this but I feel like I have it or ill develope it even though it's rare!
