As of recently OCD has become a pretty big part of my life. I suffer from H-OCD and sexual OCD as some like to call it. well, anyway, I've been a chronic smoker since the age of 16-17 and I'm 21 now. I've recently stopped smoking because it was causing me horrible anxiety (maybe because the strain i was smoking is sativa? or maybe because marijuana can just amplify anxiety). Well, anyway, I was wondering if anyone around here has OCD or experienced this before.
I think that i have a firm grasp on this because I didn't let it get built up in my brain. Probably a week after it started I instantly told my mom and dad and girlfriend (which has actually made a huge difference in how my anxiety is... barely any). I've read people who keep it in for 5+, 10+, or even their whole lives. To be honest, I think that letting people know how I've been feeling has been a good medicine and my anxiety has since gone away for the most part, though I do have a little bit of depression. This might be due to the fact that I quit smoking cannabis this Sunday... (September, 28)
Today I went to the acupuncturist and felt great relief after an hour session with him. Im going to the doctors tomorrow to see what my options are. Whether it be an SSRI or cognitive therapy, but I was just wondering if anyone here suffers from OCD and how they deal with it. (meds, therapy, or even marijuana)
I've been doing a little research and people say that strains such as White Russian, any blueberry or strawberry strains really help.
If you have something to add but dont feel comfortable posting it on the forum, please feel free to PM me or whatever. It'd be nice chatting with someone who is going through or has gone through what I am.
