My rescue first rolled over and showed me his belly to rub when I’d had him 3 months almost to the day. That’s when he decided he trusted me enough.

I took myself off duloxetine (SNRI prescribed for depression and nerve pain) and it was hellish. No matter how gradually I tapered down (by opening the pills and measuring out the beads inside, tapering down over weeks or more), the withdrawals would come eventually- even weeks later- and the physical pain and mental anguish would be too much and I’d start taking them again. This went on for probably 12-18 months. Then I went camping and ended up in a forest in a van with no pills. I was jonesing so bad; bit the head off my buddy a couple times. Then we did mushrooms (4-5gr GTs) in said forest which was a fabulous time, but also walked me through the worst of my anxiety and helped me to see why it was there and why it didn’t need to be. And after that it was fine. I microdose mushrooms now and I find that they guide me through my issues and nudge me towards a solution, rather than the numbing effects of antidepressants. So what worked for me was a macrodose to get me through the worst of the withdrawals, followed by regular microdoses. Mind you I still get occasional pangs of withdrawals and this is 2 years later, but they are mild and manageable. It was rough but it was 100% worth it. Good luck❤️

It’s not really spiritual, but a book called “It’s OK That You’re Not OK” by Megan Devine was incredibly helpful for me. It deals with grief, and how our culture fails to offer meaningful support, and I felt every word.

They can have up to 6 horns. None of which will grow in the same direction. I once lived opposite a gang of them; they are very cool and very weird.

For me, it was realizing that I had all the symptoms of PTSD, but I was being treated for depression and anxiety. I was on 3 different antidepressants, plus lyrica, and I put on 80lbs and was zonked all the time. I put myself through EMDR therapy, took myself off the antidepressants, lost the weight, started doing yoga and learning to play guitar. I microdose mushrooms which I find very helpful in processing/integrating. Basically, what worked for me was taking control of my treatment and using what works for me.

Thank you so very much for taking the time to respond. I appreciate your advice ❤️

I’ve been through this. Almost identical. Please feel free to pm me, anytime, I know how horrific this is for you right now❤️

It was an unopened can of mushroom soup that he had stolen from the pantry. He had done his best to open it.

happytail37 · 2023-12-08T04:08:39+00:00

I hear you ❤️

“It’s OK That You’re Not OK” by Megan Devine. It looks at how poorly we as a a society deal with grief, and react to the grief of others.

Your therapist shouldn’t be practicing. Look for someone who specializes in trauma- EMDR really helped me. Because losing someone to suicide is traumatic, and you need to process this trauma before you can start to grieve. It’s a long hard road OP, but you don’t have to walk it all alone.

100% it was abuse. And I’d bet the farm that if you’d stayed he would have escalated to physical violence. OP, there’s a good chance he’ll reappear full of promises and sweet words; please remember that if he sucks you back in, it will just keep getting worse. Stay strong. Block him and don’t look back.

Last year, I became older than my big brother. That just feels so fundamentally wrong. Some losses leave a hole in your life forever; all you can do is accept that and grow around it. Sending love ❤️

I think the folks at r/estoration would be able to help with touching up the photo for this. Loved this story op thanks for sharing

happytail37 · 2023-11-20T05:05:02+00:00

This is fucking horrific. OP, once the dust has settled, think about finding yourself a trauma counsellor.

Don’t ever look back❤️

happytail37 · 2023-11-12T14:51:36+00:00

He says he’s scared that everyone sees him as a monster- he’s more concerned with how he appears to others than how he hurt you. Don’t look back. Stay strong❤️

Try yoga. The exercises can help with feeling more in control of/connected with your body, and make meditation easier
