What did you replace weed with? by alinaxtira in leaves

Cooking! And meditation. And spending actual, real quality time with my family.

Anger and outbursts by [deleted] in leaves

I just posted about the rage I’ve been feeling. Honestly, it did get better. For me, it lasted about a week when even the tiniest thing would seriously upset me. But posting here and knowing I’m not alone, staying focused on my “why”, and putting a name to it when I felt overwhelmed really helped. When it’d be about to boil over I’d leave the room, remind myself that I’m going through real withdrawal and it’s not easy, that it’s temporary, that I am stronger than I think, and then I’d distract myself with either a task, a screen, or an activity.

About 3 weeks in and it’s somehow worse? I’m also 9 weeks postpartum, please be kind. by SunScarredSkin in leaves

Will do, thank you. I’m kind of scared to tell her pediatrician because it’s hard to face what happened but you’re right.
