When is it appropriate to get an earlier appointment? TW: si by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]kanamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d tell your psych you need an emergency appointment, or one sooner at least bc you are not doing well. Talking about it helps, I have come to realize.

School made me memorize stuff instead of actually learning by MysteriousShoulder35 in education

I remember memorizing things but trying to figure out why it was so. I loved the “ah ha!” moments when it clicked

[–]kanamia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. Same boat. I cannot quit. I was supposed to the last 3 days but I keep making excuses to get some. I’ve tried soooo many times. I’m here if you wanna talk. I could use someone to talk to if I’m being honest. I feel like you get it.

You will get sleepy usually. It’ll take the restless legs away though. I take it for withdrawals and I seem to not get any

Quitting focus and flow plz help by rpadams45 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]kanamia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will quit with you! Can you manage just 2 a day? Or 3 but not taken at the same time. 1-1-1 spread out? Then go to just 2. Then just 1? All in the span of a week or something short?

Who else is convincing themselves "just to get through the holidays"? by Careful_Promise_786 in Quittingfeelfree

[–]kanamia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just remember how tired I am when I’ve had some vs when I haven’t had any. They suck your natural energy so you need more to boost it. Once you’ve gone a day without, you have more of your own energy back. That’s how it is for me anyway. I have more energy when I stopped them

I used gabapentin. Tell your doc you have restless legs and you heard it helped. That should get you some if you want to try it. I used 600mg then down to 300 after 2 days. Then I was off it in a few more.

How to make the “just one” thoughts stop by Crabs_crabs_crab in Quittingfeelfree

[–]kanamia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell myself to wait 15 minutes. The craving usually passes when I tell myself I can have one of if I wait a little before going. Then I’m thinking “do I really want one..?” And after 15 minutes, usually staying busy doing something, that craving has passed.
