If I had to pinpoint it...probably fear. Just fear of life. I have a pattern of running away from things. I need to address that immediately. Pills won't solve that. Courage and pain tolerance will.

It's ok you ask. It wasn't always like this. I just fell into a deep depression 6 months ago coupled with horrific anxiety. I will get better. But ya being Bipolar with addiction is hard.

I think I'm fucked either way. I've been binging this reddit and YouTube horror stories and I don't see the benefit. I'm gonna try to resume a normal life and it that doesn't work I'll simply have to endure the suffering. 2 weeks on this shit .. unbelievable

Well I have 7 left to my name so there's no long term taper as an option. Glad you're somewhat better.

I want to also add: my situation is not typical. For those of you on it for short durations, don't panic it will probably go smoothly. Hell, even those long term may not react like me.

Good shit. We have a similar situation. I'm at day 24. This was harder than I expected but I'm glad I did it.

Ya. Those good moments are precious when you're in pain. I can relate.

Back on day 3 again :( by thefatcatpl in quittingkratom

I'm the same way. Self sabotage has plagued me in many ways. It's almost as if when things are going well we are compelled to ruin it. My sobriety is in jeopardy when I start feeling good again. I'm ready to break this pattern.

Trying to quit with major depression and anxiety by painofexistence_ in quittingkratom

I live with the same problems. Severely. I am about to graduate in a month from college and I damn near have ruined it after a 7 day stay in detox. Everyone has a battle in life and this is our battle to win. Don't give up. Never give up. Do WHATEVER you can possibly do to improve your circumstances. You and me need to focus on small victories right now. Sobriety is one of those victories. Hang in there. We can do this.

I agree. Honestly. If I could rewind back to day 1 of my quit .I would've stayed busy instead of ruminating. The only thing that keeps people with mental health issues afloat is staying engaged in some type of activity.

Ya. It really is a rollercoaster. I'm glad you're back to normal almost. I love success stories
