[ TW Addiction ; Withdrawal ; Substance Abuse ; Kratom ]
Boosts appreciated; So sorry for this, I just need help getting back on my feet.
I will explain details of my situation more thoroughly later, but I have been sick from serious withdrawals from kratom for 2 weeks (I did not realize it was so addictive and I am stopping by tapering off, after accidentally quitting cold Turkey and experiencing severe withdrawal sickness). More info on my experience here. Iâve tried to be very open and honest about whatâs happening, because I was very misinformed about the substance I was taking. When Iâm recovered more fully, I will absolutely be talking about it more in detail because there are a LOT of disinformation & lies about kratom and I really REALLY donât want other ppl to get sick like this. More info on kratom & kratom addiction here .
[ Note: kratom activists / defenders will be blocked, do not even bother âď¸]
I am supervised by friends, family, and have a doctor who knows whatâs going on and helping me over the phone. I am working very hard to take care of myself and get better so that I can return with regular artwork. I have been unable to work bc my physical symptoms from chemical dependence require a lot of maintenance . I am posting my Kofi and other donation info here as well as on twitter, bc trying to keep groceries in the house has been super hard with my partner and best friend taking care of me most of the time. I need a lot of electrolytes and food to keep myself healthy while I detox from this substance.
I really wanna thank everyone for being so kind and patient in this incredibly trying time, I am getting better every single day, but itâs a very rough experience. I absolutely hate asking for money like this. Things have been very very hard for a while now. But I know that things will get much better. I used to take 7-8 capsules a day, and I am down to 2.5 in just two weeks, which is a huge stride and why itâs been so hard to adjust to. Iâm really sick of this substance, and I canât wait until I can completely stop taking it. I want to get better.
Here is my Kofi and donation info, all money will be used to help feed us and our pets while I get better. If youâd rather donate to my partner @gothvegas I completely understand.
When I get my bill for the hospital/clinic visit I had last weekend (before I realized I was going through withdrawal, and was very ill and confused), I will post it for like a form of proof that this is happening. If you cannot or donât want to donate, please do not feel obligated.
Thank you so much for boosting. The kindness I have been given has really truly blown me away. I think I needed help for a long time, and I was just afraid that people would hate me. Itâs been mind blowing realizing how much ppl care. đ
