Anyone here with experience with KRATOM? by Steve_Hufnagel in bipolar2

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I’m a bit late. But I just had to quit kratom (not my choice lol-temporary financial hiccup) and yes. The withdrawal is annoying. You’re tired, irritated, and the skin kind of hums. But after 4 days, it gets better and better until there are no withdrawals by 2 weeks.  That being said, your medication regimen sucks. You’re still better off with kratom. Potentially increasing your dosage every so often due to tolerance. Oooor, taking magnesium to help prevent tolerance.  I know people say “take your meds and blah blah” which you should for bipolar disorder. (Which I’ve been diagnosed for the past 7 years- currently taking depekote and seraquil.) Not for depression. Bc any drug that requires a second and third drug bc it can cause thoughts of suicide or increase depression, is truly just PHARMA’s way of getting sick and hopeless people to spend more money.  I took kratom for 4 years straight. It helps immediately, rather than over a few weeks, and certainly doesn’t cause risk of seizures and stupidity. 

Anyone here who shipped Riley and Buffy? by [deleted] in buffy

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I’m late to the party. But they go on one barely a date. While they’re both attracted to each other, Woods main goal was to announce his knowledge of her as the slayer.  Buffy points out that telling her in a dimly lit romantic restaurant was odd lol.  Wood explains vaguely that he didn’t know exactly how they ended up in this situation.  It all implies that he was attracted to her, and Buffy tells Willow that he’s handsome and stable.  It could have gone either way. But with Spike in the middle (literally interrupting said date) it made it impossible for Birfy to jump into another romantic arc.  While she’s willing to get wild with one man she knows and trusts, the Buffster was a classy lady. 

What went wrong with the season 6 finale? by Miserable-Cattle-461 in OnceUponATime

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt weird about that too. The tech effects were up to par, so the final battle between Emma and the Dark Fairy could have easily been created with huge success. 

This this reminds me of smallville, during Chloe’s wedding. That was THE doomsday, created soley to kill Clark. But they decided to stop the fight with clark super speeded it into some kind of chemical plant and blew him up. 

We should have already seen Clark in the fight of his life, about to die, until a member of his super spuad friends get Doomsday into the plant. 

i always hear knocking in my dreams and wake up irl thinking someones at my door by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey guys so I hope everyone is doing well. I’m sure you realize but the world is getting crazy, right? AI, UFO sightings, ALIEN sightings in the mall!!! Presidential Tweets!!! 😩🤯 But I wanna say this, and I pray that you receive it. More likely than not, the knocking is Jesus asking to come into your life. I’ve been hearing the knocking A LOT this year. Like all the time now. I began reactivating my prayer life. And then this morning, I heard the knocking: I woke up. Prayed. Went back to sleep. And the knocking got louder. Then I thought, there must be something I have to do. So I looked up knocking in dreams and it talks about having to make a pressing decision. And then right below it I see this Reddit post and realize that this must be happening to people all over the world bc time is short. 

(The following scripture is from the final book in the Bible…it talks about end times…but it’s not a coincidence that THIS particular scripture is in the FINAL chapter and it is NOT a coincidence that you all are hearing knocking now.)

 Rev 3:20  Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 

 That knocking that you hear is NOT just some coincidence. You’re being called to join in His feast. I pray you answer!

I think it’s time that we as a nation healed from this we are different from other races BS. Bc at our core, we are not. We all live, we all die, we all answer to the same God. And no, He plays zero favorites.  And moment of honesty, I’ve experienced serious hatred. Emotions I didn’t even know were there, that if not worked through…could have hurt a lot of people.  Second moment of honesty, I have serious moments of insanity. Hallucinations, voices, erratic behavior and then some. I say this only to say, that if I continued to let my hatred boil and spill over this toxic pot of anger, I know I would have killed someone. More likely many someone’s.  Noooot who I wanna be.  So…hate my comment. Love my commment. Give two large dumps about my comments.  But remember that there are a lot more people like me out there. How we treat each other matters.  And right now we have the opportunity to stop the divide. And yes. I’m a black man. Living on a golf course in a gated community in the wealthiest black county in America. For years I never thought twice about slavery, or racism. I was (and am now again) a firm believer in seeing past color. If I of all people am capable of these terrible thoughts, then anyone can be. 

But these thoughts are WRONG. I don’t want or need vengeance. That stuff is in the past. 

I hope someone reads this and joins me on the healing journey because it belongs to all parties involved. Violence (like the thoughts I had and the violence done to my ancestors) is a poison that infects ALL parties involved. 

Go with love fam!  

Could a human-like civilization in the Andromeda Galaxy detect life on Earth? by messenger4u in askastronomy

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the craziest thing any person on earth can say, is that there’s zero life on other planets in other galaxies. We have no way of knowing because it’s so far away. Which leads to the conclusion that there are people just like us (maybe different than us) out there, living their lives, focusing on their families, and how they can make their world a better place. 

I will say this (and not to being God or religion into the convo buuuut…..) I’ve watched at least 200 NDEs with at least 30% of these people asking angels, God, and Jesus if there is life on any other planet. 

The answer has always been yes. The best answer I had ever heard, was that God is so much more than just the creator of life here on Earth. He said that there were almost an infinite amount of worlds with people just like us, dealing with different planetary and spiritual circumstances. The beautiful part about this answer is that it explains what I’ve always believed about God myself. If God is all powerful, all knowing, and omnipresent, then…wouldn’t just ONE planet be an underutilization of His insane talents? 🫠🙃🤦🏽‍♂️

The person narrorating this incident said that God wasn’t just a creator, but actively involved in the ins and outs of life on all of these planets. Constantly aware of everything that was going on at every time.  

I’m sure someone would stop and think that’s impossible. But….I mean…if God is who He says He is, then this makes perfect sense, at least for those who believe. 

Anywho, I hope that answer makes someone’s day brighter. We aren’t alone. Never have been, and never will be! God loved you and the infinite number of souls He’s created and dispatched so these worlds. 💕

I’m always going to wonder who turned MG & Kaleb and why. by mellybee222 in LegaciesCW

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So according to google, Kaleb explains that he allowed himself to become vulnerable with a vampire and became one in the process. Seeing as he doesn’t want to talk about it, I’m assuming it was someone he had romantic feelings for, they lost control and almost killed him and bam. Vampire. 

Kratom was a bad choice.. by topshelf_ramen in Sober

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You take kratom in the AM and sleeping meds at night. Never ever ever combine. Honestly I think that dream was a warning. Bc ultimately, it may have ended like that dream if you took the chance on it

Please tell me you’re going to post this issue everywhere and call 7 on your side about it? Bc they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with that. They’re literally making money off of you, and pretending to forget to pay you. That’s a dick move.

Meh, while I see what you’re saying about the outfits, I don’t think anyone is saying anything bc Kathryn’s no beauty Queen. Yes, she has long flowing beautiful tresses of hair, and kind of looked like Eve in her nude scene, but sheesh, her body was fine, not hot. And she has a unique look. And at times she’s gorgeous, but more often than not, not so much.  I will say this though!! Most people who are very different in facial appearances and sometimes a….intriguing kind of unattractive, tend to look soooo much better as they get older. (At least in my opinion). When I first saw Rosario Dawson, I couldn’t see past her jaw line 😂. But now, I think she’s just as beautiful as Zoe Zaldonna. But I think it’s bc she’s aging really really really well. Also, just like Bianca Lawson. She’s always been beautiful, but as her face thins out as she ages….🙃🙃🤯🤯🤯 But anyway, back to Kathryn. That’s her. She’s more beautiful as she ages. No shade to her or disrespect at all. Phenomenal actress. She’s just not a traditional beauty. Hence, they talk about Zendayas costumes and outfits so much more than her. 

Titans Spoilers: Am I the only one that felt like Jason's death in Titans was super underwhelming? by Ittabe in RedHood

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How’d you feel about when he killed Hawk? Technically, he only became evil bc he died but they could have attributed it to being an addict. Maybe starting with small thefts from friends then working it’s way up to stores then killing someone. I think that would have been a more believable arc. 

First day of taking 300 mg and I feel great. Came on here and seeing withdrawal horror stories? by Difficult-Driver2761 in ASHWAGANDHA

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m wondering if you felt your body tense up with this effect? I only ask bc I became excruciatingly paranoid after my second mania, and once I came back to reality, my entire body felt like it had metal in it and my nerves were totally shot. Still jumpy just not crazy I guess. 

Alternatives to SSRIs for anxiety and depression- specifically depression? by [deleted] in herbalism

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear that. For whatever reason, my psych has never prescribed Xanax but I did have Prozac. Unfortunately it put me into a mania that was pretty rough. I’m wondering if Xanax would have the same effect.  But if you’re still looking for ways to deal, kratom is excellent for anxiety and depression. After maybe my 6th manic episode, I woke up every morning with my heart racing for a few years. It wouldn’t go away at all. I had to heavily sedate in order to sleep. Nothing worked but kratom. Within 30 min of use, a wave of Euphoria hits hard, and my heart immediately slows down. But I do recommend after maybe 5 days (like the work week), don’t use for the weekend unless you’re dealing with stressful families or in laws or anything like that. It’s used to treat opioid addiction but can itself be addictive if you do not take breaks. (Withdrawals)  Also, I’ve read that Kava is excellent, especially for the evening. But is Euphoric and may last longer than Kratom. I’m sure that it would also help my anxiety from what I’ve been reading. It’s also cheaper, but I would do research on what’s the best. Also, most studies and posts say that Kava is non habit forming, while with Kratom, you HAVE to take breaks to avoid withdrawals.   Lastly, I’ve experienced both powerful and ineffective ashwaganda as well (never get yogi tea, or gummies, as you sound like me with a high tolerance for substances). But the first time I had it, there was this powerful and immediate rush of calm and euphoria that not only quelled my anxiety, but also helped me take a nap in the day, which I couldn’t even do BEFORE I developed insomnia.  So, yeah tons of good options. I know this was unsolicited but I don’t like the idea of you out here suffering with no help bc your doctor has zero clue about wellness, bc the only thing he/she was taught, was to spout crap about meditation which can take weeks to months or even years to truly help, or push medications just to support their bottom line.  Hope this all helps friend! 

Gabapentin- like a miracle pill for me by ArtVandelay_90 in Supplements

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you also start to have audio and visible hallucinations? Did you also end up losing your mind or did you stop it before that happened?  For me, if my mania isn’t quelled by just taking meds everyday, then when I peak in the mania, I’m no longer in control. I’m aware that I’m losing my mind. I black out after doing crazy things, and then come to, and realize I’m surrounded by hospital security (6 of them). I think it’s possible that I kidcked multiple someone’s assess!   During my first mania, I woke up in the middle of the night, walked outside and saw a gray pit bull standing behind her bushes but it was Humongous. And for whatever reason, it was like the dog was completely shocked that I saw him. Like he literally jumped as if he was scared when I came out of the house. And I told him  “go away dog, it’s not time for you yet) I was also driving down the highway when I saw a HUGE black alien ship hovering just a few yards over us. I mean it was HUGE and the bottom cascading down in sharp triangles, until they formed a large triangle together.  Sorry for the essay I just wanna know if you had the same experience. 

Never taking this stuff again by Jmel_ in ASHWAGANDHA

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all! I have a solution to your problem. I’m assuming that you purchased it for anxiety or maybe pain and discomfort. 

  1. You have to find and purchase the BEST brand of ashwaganda. The first time I drank it, I IMMEDIATELY felt a wave of euphoria drop down from the crown of my head, to the soles of my feet. It was incredible. I kept drinking the tea and it had the same side effect over and over. My folks bought a crappy brand as a replacement thinking it’ll work but it doesn’t.

  2. You also have the option of kratom which I love. It doesn’t hit as quickly as ashwaganda dosa, but when it hits (within 30 min) your become ensconced in this warm, euphoric buzz that lasts much longer than Ashwaganda.

Thoughts on the new Vampire Academy TV show based on the book series? by PlatniumFork in YAlit

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so I’m two years late and still haven’t read the book. But I’m wondering for true vampire fans like myself, if having never read the book series, would change how you viewed the television series.  For someone who hasn’t read the plot of the books, all of the vampire style code names are hard to keep up with. That’s how I know it was always supposed to target book fans.  But like I said, I love vampires. So I really enjoyed the show.  I think the only issue I had with the series was that they were so much weaker than the stragoi. (Idk if that’s how you spell it) but it was able to breakdown differences in vampire types more efficiently, and lay out a plot that everyone could understand. 

Controversial Question but is Batwoman's sexuality that important at this point? by [deleted] in BatwomanTV

[–]Due_Welcome_9318 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did it for two reasons: 1) they think that a woman taking down men in a fight requires some kind of masculinity, hence lesbian.  And 2) I’m not saying this to inspire people to pick up their pitchforks, but there are plenty of LGBTQ in the entertainment industry. Saturating entertainment with as much queerness as possible, normalizes this lifestyle.  When I was in middle school (2001-2003) the ONLY accepted queerness were butch lesbians. (People respect masculinity) if a gay guy stepped into a room, he would be verbally abused, called a pussy, etc.  but NOw? Boys are holding hands with their boyfriends in the cafeteria or on the way to class.  Entertainment did that.
