Anxiety and second hand marijuana

[rathernotshare]

Hi guys, I'm new to this thread so please bare with me!

I was diagnosed with OCD and panic disorder around 2 years ago. I'm going through CBT and now off medication as we are TTC.

Basically my question is, has anyone ever had bad experiences with second hand marijuana affecting their mental health? My next door neighbour has taken on a 10ish joints a day habit during lockdown and it is literally causing me vomit inducing panic attacks every time I smell it in my house. I've had my anxiety under control for around a year now and this is destroying me multiple times a day. I feel like an embarrassing wreck. My husband smoked it when he was younger and thinks I'm being over dramatic but it's literally ruining my life to the point where I'm thinking I can't go on anymore, as I'm living in a constant cycle of 'the next panic attacks only a few hours away' (yeah maybe not the best time to TTC!) Has anyone else had anything similar?

I think it may be that coming off your medication has caused your anxiety to increase and that you are focusing on the marijuana, because the smell is bothering you, so you think it is the smoke that is causing your anxiety but it’s just triggering it iyswim.
Do speak to the Dr, there are medications that are safe to take in pregnancy and it sounds as if you might need to start some sort of medication again to help.

The link here says
You would have to be trapped in a room breathing the smoke of 16 burning joints before you started to show signs of being high
So I can’t see how smelling it, not actually being in a room with it, could cause problems, it’s not nice to have to smell it but it’s probably not responsible for your anxiety. Sorry you are struggling
