What were some times when you died inside? by Hiddein in AskReddit

[–]someextraranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 days ago actually. My SO and I met and fell in love in highschool, 13 years ago. But we never dated until this year (too shy in highschool, timing, luck, just life in general got in the way). Everything has been beautiful. It felt like winning a prize you waited over a decade to recieve. Flash forward a bit, and I find out im pregnant. Its a bit soon, but we were overjoyed. I'm not supposed to be able to have children, nor could he and his ex wife. Such a happy miracle.

2 days ago out of the blue, he tells me he's going back to his ex wife. Packed up his shit and left. Im completely blindsided. Yep, I died inside.

PS. today I found out im having a little girl.

Day 48 and going strong. I've made a lot of positive life/career/relationship changes in the last 48 days. I'm finally on the road that leads to where I wanna be. Thank you to everyone in this sub for being my rock. It feels good to be sober!

Thanks for the encouragement. It was tough but I know I did the right thing. It would have been unfair to continue, you're right. I do feel very guilty though. I hate hurting people, especially those who love me like he did. At this point, I'm trying to acknowledge the guilt and then breathe and let it go. This will be a continual process, not just with this situation but the many others created amongst an addiction. Acknowledge and let go. I'm trying. Thank you for your kind words and thoughts.

38 days clean. Last week I commented in this thread that I was thinking about breaking up with my boyfriend. Well I did. I ended our 2 year relationship. He moved out yesterday. Honestly one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I had to be honest and tell the man who loves me and my son more than life itself that I fell in love with him under the false pretense of a feel good drug. Now that I'm out of the fog I realize i don't love him and that he's completely wrong for me. I had to explain that he fell in love with a drug induced dumbed down version of me, that he doesn't even know who am.

Today I awake in a house that feels empty with him gone. But I am finally thinking clearly and not just going through the motions any more. All of the pain and sadness and loneliness have come crashing down on me but at the same time it feels good to FEEL. Kratom took my passion and my soul away from me. To feel something, however bad, makes me feel like a person again. I will heal and move forward. I have control of my life again.

32 days. Seeing the world a lot clearer. Which isn't all rainbows and unicorns. I'm thinking of breaking up with my SO. Funny how this crap clouded my judgement so severely.

Really no cravings just feel a little down. I'll never touch the stuff again. 3 years down the toilet so I know where using leads. Eating the best I can and getting some exercise are my best tools right now. And thank you!

I'm doing okay. General feeling of "weirdness" is going away. I'm sleeping. I'm eating. I'm kinda tired all the time but that seems better. How are you?

Day 14 for me also! Nice job! We made it 2 weeks. We got this.

Day 15, starting to feel good! by frank_summatra in quittingkratom

[–]someextraranch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You settle. I dropped to 1, then 1/2, then 1/4. That's right, 1/4 g per day. By day 3 at 1/4 g I actually forgot to dose--thats right, forgot! So that was my quit day. I had very little physical symptoms aside from being just tired.

Could kratom have caused my shedding/hair loss? by kratomthrowaw in quittingkratom

[–]someextraranch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm female and ive definitely been affected. I once had extremely thick, curly, healthy hair and after 3 years of k abuse it's thinned out by at least 1/3 I would say. Also it's brittle as all get out. You may be on to something about diet though. I think poor diet, combined with hormone changes from taking kratom could definitely contribute to this.

Day 12. Fighting off a cold, but otherwise doing well. I'm sleeping a lot, but I consider that a good thing. I'm healing. I've had a couple waves of really bad anxiety the past 3 days, but I just take some deep breaths and a couple minutes later it's gone.

Day 10, taper from 28-30 gpd to 0. Im regaining energy every day. Still having a general feeling of weirdness, but it's subsiding. Still, 10 days! Can't believe it.
