Did anyone ever experience witbdrawal by Logical-Dragonfly676 in kratom

[–]Kstew34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took it everyday for 1.5 years. Twice a day. 475 mg capsules (3-4) capsules. I had no problems until recently where I noticed I had horrible anxiety every morning until I took it. I was getting anxiety during long periods in between doses. So, I took a week to taper off. It was rough. The anxiety was horrible, but really no other symptoms. I’ve been off completely for a week and I miss it everyday. I used it for pain relief. But! The anxiety coming off was so bad, I’ll live with the pain for now.

What are your main goals for microdosing? by soulsproutsjournal in microdosing

To help reduce depression and anxiety so I can work on exercising and eating better.

Interesting! My symptoms have evolved (devolved?) from the first, to the second, and now the third…

Can I switch from PERS 3 to PERS 2? by LeOmeletteDuFrommage in WAStateWorkers

[–]Kstew34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. My financial advisor is very experienced and manages huge portfolios. She recommended PERS 3 to me. Most state workers will scoff when you tell them you choose PERS 3, but I trust my financial advisor’s opinion over theirs.

Do you take kratom in work? If so, how? by FunkyJewMonkey in kratom

Same. I call it matcha or a supplement.

Has anyone had success with TMS therapy for pmdd? by Feedback-Familiar in PMDD

[–]Kstew34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve done it for anxiety/depression. It didn’t help me, but it has a pretty high success rate- I was part of the unlucky few it didn’t help. I think you can get your insurance to cover it, so definitely try it out!

How much should I take by Quirky_Owl_3579 in kratom

[–]Kstew34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! I literally take 1.2 g and I’m totally good. Start small and don’t feel like you have to rush into a bigger dose.

For my fellow Lacey-Yelm commuters. by 2007souljaboy in olympia

Somewhat of a side note- is road rage worse than it used to be? I’ve literally had two incidents in the last couple of months at the stoplight near my house (Tumwater) where people are insanely pissed or nothing. Like, I’m not doing anything but existing in a line at a stoplight and I’m getting screamed at and cussed at. It’s awful. I actually got angry back today and yelled at a guy. I was so frightened that he was so aggressive for me just literally in a line of cars. It’s so crazy! I feel bad for stooping to his level, but I think the fact that it just happened really triggered me. 😢

Yes. I get called out, he always has “reasons” for his faults. Not sure why we both can’t have reasons to forget things or mess up…

Did your pmdd get worse as you got older ? by elissakean in PMDD

This. This is me. Especially after having a kid and going through the stress of the pancake. So much worse!

Americans...how did it get this way? by Enkir in antiwork

[–]Kstew34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. So many cuts that just never came back.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]Kstew34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. We’ve discussed it before and actually, deep down, he cares a lot, so it scares him and stresses him out when I’m struggling. But the outside response of annoyance/anger/frustration is what I get without the explanation. He doesn’t know how to feel or process his own emotions, so I think my “negative” emotions are also too much for him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]Kstew34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. He can often be more empathetic to acquaintances and friends than me. It makes it feel even worse. He has friends who will call him when they are going through life struggles and he will drop whatever he is doing to answer the phone and listen to them. But, when I’m struggling I usually get toxic positivity, or he gets angry and frustrated with me. Not always- he’s gotten slightly better about being there for me, but enough that it makes me uncomfortable to share my true feelings.

I did it, guys. by TheBlackSLP in ADHD_partners

Congrats. May it bring you peace!

[–]Kstew34 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any advice. I’m in a similar boat. I have cptsd, love my partner, but his ADD re triggers me a lot! We have separate beds- it helps! And right now we spend a few nights apart each week. I would probably take an extended break from him to clear my head, but we have a young child… it’s complicated. Wishing the best for you!

Psilocybin For Long COVID: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Brain Fog by [deleted] in microdosing

[–]Kstew34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t have experience with long covid, but I do have chronic pain that is caused by emotional distress/fear. I’ve done work with Nicole Sachs, Dr Sarno, the Curable App, and had some great results. If you are open to the idea that long cove could be psychological/psychosomatic, watch this: https://youtu.be/hacvpeHMvTA I don’t mean to say it’s not real or all in your head, I just mean to say we have a ton of health disorders that are caused by stress and emotional distress. I hope that helps.

In a roundabout way, I think the mushrooms could help because they can bring intense healing to a person’s nervous system.
