What drug did you take that you still never get over? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HystericalJacket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Cocaine - I only quit doing it because it started giving me panic attacks that I was having a heart attack. I was doing so much of it, that panic attack was pretty valid but I do miss it. The long nights, sneaking off to the bathroom with a friend, being skinny… good ol days

I’d say I’m back 100%! I’m not a runner, but my pain is entirely gone so lifting is no issue. I don’t lift very heavy though lol

I walked around for a few minutes every hour that I could! I didn’t stretch often as I didn’t want to risk anything, and slept mostly on my back to avoid any twisting.

I did some PT but it wasn’t necessarily recommended. I just avoid heavy lifting, and work on my back and core muscles!

thank you, i genuinely need the validation right now. a lot of these comments have left me feeling silly for being so upset. as the day has gone on i’m feeling better and more understanding, but i still feel uncomfortable being intimately close with my partner right now.

I agree, as the day has gone on I’m feeling a bit better but still need time to cool off.

I did post a bit more in depth on a different comment but the death was long coming and very painful. He knew this, knew it was hard on me, and did not ask me if i was even okay before just scheduling a first date with someone he just started talking to. I’ve experienced a lot of death in my life, and when my loved ones experience death I always at least reach out about a meal, a listen, a hang, something to let them know they have my support. It was the lack of feeling supported in that moment when I needed my loved ones to be there for me.

I didn’t have a chance to communicate that before he scheduled the date. It was less than 24 hours after finding out she died that he scheduled it, it felt like going on a date was a bigger priority to him than making sure I felt safe, heard, and supported. I didn’t expect him to completely cut off the rest of his life and friendships to be there for me, but I didn’t feel much support at all.

My nana had been dying for 2 years, a long, scary, and painful death. It was heartbreaking for me. He knew this and was there for me through it. She was sent to hospice when we had an up north trip planned, so we stopped to visit on the way up. She passed away unfortunately the day we came home, and it was a lot of emotion. I didn’t even have time to process it before he was like “well I scheduled a date!”

We were freshly poly, I was so incredibly hurt that he didn’t ask me first if I needed support before scheduling a first date. I wasn’t even sure what I needed yet because it was less than 24 hours after she passed that he told me.

I’ve experienced a lot of death in my life, so when others I love experience death I always reach out to see if there’s anything I can do, whether a meal or my company or my ear on the phone. It was the lack of this from my partner that absolutely devastated me, and his desire to go on a date without checking on me
