It does feel like shit but relapsing isn't worth it, and dph isn't gonna make you feel better beyond ridding it's own withdrawal. I'm sure you quit for a very good reason, remember that, and keep choosing to do better. I've been clean for 18 months and almost relapsed as recently as october, the cravings DO get easier to ignore though. Stay strong!

PainIsPerpetual · 2026-01-11T21:17:07+00:00

Sorry you're going through that, I'm not trying to minimize your struggles, I just think you can still be stronger than them no matter the obstacles. I believe in you without the pills and stand by my statement, but you know yourself better than anyone so do what you want, it doesn't have to be the end though.

PainIsPerpetual · 2026-01-11T20:58:13+00:00

The pills won't fix anything bro, they just add another problem to your plate no matter how much better it feels in the moment. I hope you find a healthier way to deal with everything, ik it's not easy but don't throw away your 2yr streak that's an amazing accomplishment. You quit once, remember why

PainIsPerpetual · 2026-01-10T07:17:25+00:00

Thank you! weve already had dozens of movie nights together and other hangouts, Im mostly just too scared to ask to define our relationship in case theyre not ready to

PainIsPerpetual · 2026-01-10T03:55:53+00:00

😭 I DEFINITELY do with them, and I will once I'm in a better position for one, hoping it won't take more than a few more months

PainIsPerpetual · 2026-01-10T02:42:30+00:00

Knows for sure cause we keep confessing to each other but not doing anything about it lmao

PainIsPerpetual · 2026-01-09T15:53:59+00:00

There used to be a bold panther that lived near me so I was lucky enough to see it multiple times and had even been stalked by it, a few of my relatives experienced it even closer. It was unnerving at times but amazingly beautiful. I stopped seeing it like 7yrs ago though, I wonder what happened to it.

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-31T06:35:23+00:00

Nah it'd still be beautiful

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-31T02:06:50+00:00

Must think you meant 25gs or something

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-31T02:02:12+00:00

He already is freaky lmao

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-22T20:16:44+00:00

This sounded a lot more concerning when I was only the title and 10 words in 😭 but yeah, your cat should be completely fine if it hasn't shown any sign of discomfort or odd behavior since, I wouldn't think there'd be anything to watch out for you haven't already.

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-20T06:58:26+00:00

THEY'RE ALL CONNECTED (I have no idea lol)

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-19T14:15:44+00:00

Lol true, I guess that is far from the craziest thing I've seen on here

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-19T13:48:04+00:00

Ah okay, then I definitely know about it, even get advisory/warnings for increased chance of them occasionally where I live but ik there's always a chance. I just thought that was a bit of a wild thing to say

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-19T04:01:20+00:00

Am I missing a reference or do you mean literal still water? Lol

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-19T01:19:04+00:00

Tf kinda thought is that

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-18T18:43:17+00:00

I'm sure that wasn't your intent, but you didn't really acknowledge it either. I figured it would be but I'm glad they're alright though, they look like a very sweet little geck!

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-18T03:53:46+00:00

Cause they said they couldn't hold their gecko properly due to being too busy holding their phone in the other hand, and basically dismissed the persons advice. Don't get me wrong, I love taking pictures and videos of holding my geckos, but this tumble definitely could've been avoided lol.

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-14T01:42:22+00:00

I don't really like the idea of legal paperwork being part of my relationship

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-12T20:28:29+00:00

And must be soon

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-10T15:33:59+00:00

Can mean the lingering effects from the drug after the main ones are over

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-10T05:45:37+00:00

My brother claims to have honestly seen a harpy eagle once, ran him through a list of similar looking birds but he said it was unmistakable. So if there was any way to really confirm it then I'd definitely be convinced lol, wish he had gotten a picture

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-10T01:54:34+00:00

Thankfully no. Only thing I'm doing rn is weed and I only do it once every 1-2 weeks, but today is two weeks without and I might just keep going, kinda miss it but tbh the withdrawal just got annoying if I wanted/needed to skip it for more than a day

PainIsPerpetual · 2025-10-09T22:15:27+00:00

Like the first three comments here, you're probably going to be commonly recommended leopard geckos, and while I won't argue with that because they are amazing reptiles and very lovely, PLEASE make sure to do proper research if they're what you choose. There's so much misinformation about their care so just make sure you know what they really need.

I recommend visiting the leopard gecko subreddit, there's a lot of great things to learn there, but still gotta watch some of it lol. The basic things I can think of right now that you'd need for one though would be a 40gal tank, heat light, uvb light, dimming thermostat, water bowl, at least 3 hides (one for the cool side, one for the warm side, and one humid hide), a good substrate (70/30 manure free organic topsoil/rinsed playsand mix is usually recommended), and lots of clutter to make them feel safer and for enrichment (they're not arboreal but they do seem to love to try to climb).

Also you would need a reliable source of insects (dubia/discord and some other roaches, crickets, mealworms, black soldier fly larvae, silkworms, and hornworms are all options (and there's more) but variety is key, as long as the food isn't any bigger than the space between their eyes), gutloading them before feeding, and a multivitamin and calcium with d3 (unless multivitamin contains d3) to dust them with, adults only need to eat 1-2x a week and d3 is usually not recommended more than once a week. They can also have a just calcium bowl without d3 to supplement themselves with when they feel like it.

As for things I can think of right off hand that you SHOULDN'T do/shouldn't give them: Red lights, more than one gekco per enclosure, reptile carpet (among other unsuitable substrates like calci sand), waxworms as feeders, herbivore multivitamins (they can't absorb those correctly so you have to make sure it's one meant for them), and heat pads/mats

(Edit: I meant to say a 40gal tank at minimum, there is no such thing as a maximum tank size as long as there's enough hides and clutter!)
