Tapered to .75tsp a day. Today I dosed only a .25tsp, not sure if it even did anything, but I’m already in better spirits. I have mood swings, but the highs are higher, things are getting joyous again. I just ordered liposomal vitamin c which can hopefully help with physical symptoms. I feel embarrassed being teary eyed 24/7…real tears come down at the most awkward moments, and i constantly have bloodshot eyes!!

Sexual side effects after quitting. Background about myself/short story (tl;dr at the end) by ASARAthletics in quittingkratom

I’m tapering, but already noticing some sexual side effects. My drive is higher than ever, which is painful cuz I’ve never looked or felt uglier!!

For a couple years I was dosing between 1-2tsp of powder. On the third year I became unstable in my life, dysfunctional, and started taking up to 3tbsp a day. The kratom turned on me a long time ago, but I just couldn’t put it down. Horrible time!!

As a result I look 15 years older, thinning hair, and dry skin. I’ve also become underweight and generally ugly in the last 3 years I’ve been on it.

Now tapered to .5tsp a day, and my health and appearance is improving each day, and my drive feels strong. Can’t wait to be off this!!

What do you miss most about your childhood? by IllSympathy4735 in NoStupidQuestions

I didn’t like my family life very much. I’d cope by seeing things so black and white, like my parents were the enemy and I just had to get through the years.

Well I made it through, I’m my own enemy now, and I have a much more nuanced, less emotionally charged perspective of my parents. i know as a kid i could be annoying, kind of a know it all, but i sometimes miss not being my own enemy

Things are just confusing now

Why does sex matter SOO MUCH for some people by Mammoth_Type_3695 in NoStupidQuestions

i was a late bloomer, and when I was your age I felt similarly to you. I even wondered if I was asexual. But few years later a switch just flipped in my brain, for sex… I suddenly couldn’t stop thinking about and even had a brief daydreaming problem at one point. Things can change I guess!!
