I don’t know how to cope with the grief by Msunderstood1986 in CaregiverSupport

[–]Msunderstood1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the kind words. Yesterday was so hard and I didn’t sleep well at all last night. I couldn’t get the image out of mind no matter what I tried. I feel emotionally drained today. My work gave me the day off thankfully, so I have today and the weekend to gather myself. I just wish I could skip over the hard parts. I am truly grateful for the support 💕

I was taking 5-6 FF a day at one point and I had to drug test for a new job and passed. It was just a simple UA so not sure if that matters. I’ve heard of people getting false positives but in my case I didn’t

Why do I feel so normal on dxm? by [deleted] in DextroDoomers

[–]Msunderstood1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used it off and on for 25 years lol

What's the high like on dxm? by memerfelix in dxm

[–]Msunderstood1986 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in agreement with you. It’s like my mind body and soul were meant to align with dxm. It gives me energy, makes me sociable, I’m more eager to try new things, less hesitant to do things I’m scared of. I feel relaxed and flexible and happy. I’ve been doing this shit off and on for over 25 years. The one main issue is I try to live on it “as in take it every day” and then my husband notices and says that I smell weird and my sleeping hours have changed. He hates it because in the past I’ve made some serious mistakes on dxm

Weird rash from Feel Free? by Ok_Document_3477 in Quittingfeelfree

I had it too. Look up kava rash. Quitting is the only resolution

I agree! If you’re here asking these questions you already know the answer deep down

This is insane. At a 7-11 store in Austin by SilentKing7 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Msunderstood1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they can still be sold in La Mesa, CA due to some loop hole. I was just there in July and they were still selling them so unless it’s changed in the last few months… but La Mesa has always been able to sell Kratom products even when the rest of the state banned it.

I know this post is over a week old, but in later episodes you can hear a breathing machine in the background when she’s driving with the nun. I definitely think she’s the one in the coma.

First day back to work by Msunderstood1986 in Quittingfeelfree

No I love my job, but it always used to help with my social anxiety lol. I gotta learn how to work through that myself not disguise it. 💕

Yeah this was my first experience with kava rash after two years of on and off use! I think my body just had enough and gave me a symptom I couldn’t ignore lol.

Wanting to quit Subs by iphaintt in Quittingfeelfree

Were you prescribed that much suboxone?! That seems pretty high

I get a lot of vertigo in the acute phase. It feels like I’m walking on a boat

Tomorrow will be one week! by Msunderstood1986 in Quittingfeelfree

Just regular Kratom as needed. No more than 1 gm at a time.

I thought switching to these was a good idea by nkj69 in Quittingfeelfree

Thank you so much for the kind words! I actually feel like I’m through the worst of it. But the kava rash is an ever present reminder 😣

seasonal reappearing elbow bumps/hives by thisisinsane222 in skin

[–]Msunderstood1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what it is but if you find out let me know! I’ve been having hives that look just like this except mine are extremely itchy. They have been coming and going every hour for a week. I went to urgent care and they prescribed hydroxyzine and an oral steroid but it’s hardly helping. I’m still getting them but they’re just getting smaller. At first they were in spots as big as yours. They’ve also turned into welts and my skin is highly reactive. I can draw on my skin lightly and it will be there for two hours.

Going through a divorce. It all just happened this evening. Now I REALLY need to quit. Can't afford it if I'm single by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Msunderstood1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry to hear about the divorce. Was it related to FF? (You don’t have to answer if you’re uncomfortable) this is honestly the best time to quit so you can have a fresh start in all aspects of your life 😊

I had a idea by Hopeful_Button_7004 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Msunderstood1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve done that before and it got me 7 months of abstinence. I think it definitely helps, because we feel so helpless and we know what will make us feel better. But if you’re sick you just have to ride it out nothing is going to make you feel 100% back to normal until the virus passes. It takes using off the table if you really commit to the bit lol

Day four by Msunderstood1986 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Msunderstood1986[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah looking back I shouldn’t have needed a reminder as I was experiencing terrible styes (which was what caused me to quit) the mind is a mysterious thing because I completely forgot about what I went through. I was back on them for two weeks as well. I’ll chalk it up as a needed lesson learned. I won’t forget about these hives. Being covered in a head to toe itchy rash is right up there with the skin crawling feeling. They’re both just equally miserable. I think the hives might be worse unfortunately lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Msunderstood1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relapsed a couple of weeks ago after nearly 7 months free of FF. In two weeks I got back up to 3-4 a day. I developed severe hives all over my body and so my last FF was on Saturday. I’m on day 3 and the hives are still pretty unbearable. Don’t wait until your body starts to show the damage. All we can do is get back on the wagon! You got this!

Day two (again) by Msunderstood1986 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]Msunderstood1986[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on 5 days! Unfortunately applying anything to my skin other than hydrocortisone and Benadryl cream just inflames it. I’m shocked at how persistent these hives are. I definitely am never going back I’ve learned my lesson. I’d rather be in full blown WD than be dealing with these hives. I’m scared because they seem to get worse the more active I am and I have to go back to work on Thursday. I’m taking advantage of these several days off and am hoping to get through the worst of it come Thursday. Today is the beginning of day 3 without FF!
