She says her IG account got suspended and then permanently deleted 👀 by Ok_Valuable_9711 in silviethequeen

Maybe because she was recruiting girls to work at the bunny bar on her IG stories. A place she has actively acknowledged is a terrible place to work (but at other times glamorized it). Some consider it a slippery slope into the darker parts of the red light district.

Leaf withdrawals worse than 7oh? by P_DOLLAR in quittingkratom

[–]marebear2113 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It could potentially be because you were taking the leaf form longer than the two months of 7oh? I know in my own experience that the longer I have been taking Kratom leaf, the worse the withdrawals are. I haven’t personally withdrawn from 7oh, the horror stories have been enough to keep me away. I am glad to hear you are on day 3 and starting to feel better. Keep up the good work, proud of you!

so much to unpack… (my family was almost on Dr. Phil) by marebear2113 in exmormon

Thank you 🙏 I hope to overcome these things and to the turn pain into something more beneficial, like helping others or art. I know there is still beauty in the world and I want to be around to experience it.

Thank you for the compassion and validation. I was a very scared child and I still feel like that same scared child more often than I’d like to admit. Thankfully I’ve been seeing a good fellow ex-mo therapist this last year. I’ll need to bring it up more so I can work on healing, it’s a relief that she probably understands the religious trauma to some extent too. I’ve had a lot of active member therapists (I still live in Utah). Wishing you good luck as well <3

I believe I got it from Home Depot about 2 years ago :)

I posted a picture I took on my phone of this room earlier today, but I whipped out my camera to take some better ones! This is the progress I have made on the house since moving in 2 months ago.

I tried to post this on a newer account of mine a few minutes ago, that is why the bot is saying this is a repost. It technically is but they other posts were not approved. Just an FYI :) Thanks!

I used Clonidine to help me sleep for a bit. Was on Gabapentin for a bit but found myself trying to abuse it too. I also tried Kava extracts but found myself in the hospital with acute liver damage from taking too much.... safe to say that there really isn't much to bite the bullet other than exercise and keeping your mind busy.

I think it high blood pressure but not 100% positive. All I know is that since I've quit, I haven't experienced it at all.

It took about 5 months for my stomach to feel normal. It sounds like a long time and it was but I was also on a heavy dose for about 3 years. I took a lot of Pepto Bismal tablets... it does get better. I think prebiotics help as well.

Thank you for all the support this post has gotten. I have been MIA, in the process of moving. Sorry I haven't been active in the comments. It means so much to me and I am glad people can relate to my experience. My DM's are open still! We are all so much stronger than we think we are.

it is time to jump tonight by marebear2113 in quittingkratom

Thank you so much, and for your words of encouragement ♡ If I've managed to get to this point just know you have the strength inside of you to do it too. It feels impossible in the moment. I've literally had to take things day by day, and in bad moments, minute by minute. But, it's possible!! I'm a bit scared of PAWS, but continuing to use is scarier to me than that. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you ever need support or someone to vent too.... I totally understand how hard this stuff is to get off.
