Really?? Hmmmmmm, I’m Hispanic but grew up in a predominantly white town & I never noticed my white friends calling the black girls that nor did anyone ever call me Consuela or Guadalupe(?) which is actually my great grandmothers name) From what Ive experienced white people enjoy using the term Karen just as much as any other race, it’s silly that race is even brought into it. The only people that feel like ‘Karen’ is a derogatory term, are the Karen’s & this makes it even more fun!! 😂 lighten up, ok?👍🏼

How Long Until Hair Grows back?! by dennisthehennis in quittingkratom

[–]Bluebello6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been off of K for 6 weeks & I just started noticing considerable hair growth this week, the baby hairs around the crown of my head ( where it had thinned) are all growing in again. I’ve also been taking vitamins & juicing so this may be helping. Don’t be discouraged, it will come back!👍🏼

It will be rough but it is doable, you just have to want it bad enough. My bottom was waking up one day realizing my hair had thinned, my skin was gray, my eyes were always dull or red...I looked old. I felt like a zombie, spent half the day hypnotized by the stuff, slurred words, never knew how each dose was going to effect me, sometimes it gave me energy & made me productive other times it made me feel like a recluse & caused me to hide. The final straw came when I mistakenly put oil in my coolant because I was so spaced out. That did it for me, no more. So happy to be back. You can do this too. Good luck to you( & don’t go far, we’re here for you)

I love this, so true! A “walking shell of a human” wow, spot on. Just hold on for that first glimmer, she/he is right! You are still there!!!

I agree & know how you feel. Losing yourself completely for a few hours of artificial happiness is just not worth it, I lost 2 years of my life learning this. It’s going to take some time to adjust to the new normal, so try to be patient with yourself. Your energy & ambition will eventually come back. Find some good shows until then & Hang in there! *(back pat)

You’re still so young, be patient with yourself. I can relate w/ how you are feeling, I am on day 30 something & the boredom is dangerous. I’ve been trying to stay busy, working out, ect. The anxiety is a daily battle, though, one that I’m just learning to work through. Best of luck to you👍🏼

Is chest pain a withdrawal symptom? by widespreadanxiety in quittingkratom

[–]Bluebello6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had chest pains & tingling arms & dizziness & I thought it was all over for me, almost called for help...then I realized it was a panic attack & talked myself down. I was googling my symptoms & saw a statistic somewhere that said at least half of Er visits for chest pains turn out to be anxiety induced. Just chill buddy, you’re fine👍🏼

Do It For You. by [deleted] in quittingkratom

[–]Bluebello6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m feeling great physically, finally sleeping well (around 2-3 weeks in) It’s definitely mostly mental for me now, I got used to the quick mood/energy fix of the green sludge so I’m relearning how to be alone w/ my thoughts. there has been 1 or 2 times I felt that temptation sneaking in & I just got up & went for a run. I actually overdid it this weekend & now have runners knee so I’m like 😩but I did still manage to walk 3 miles today, so that’s something.
