I’ve been taking well over 20 grams a day for 2 years now.
I’ve been using kratom powder for over 4 years in total but the last couple of years it has increased dramatically. I lost my older sibling suddenly a year ago and lost my job around the same time. The kratom numbs me and has honestly helped me get through it all but I know it’s just numbing me. I’ve lost all motivation to find a new job, I’ve lost my libido almost entirely, I haven’t really even given myself the time to properly grieve. I know this sounds horrible but I didn’t even go to his funeral and I still haven’t visited him. I feel like my life is just on pause and all I have to look forward to is my next dose of kratom. Can someone give me some advice on how I can get off this stuff without the inevitable dreadful withdrawals? Also for those who have successfully quit, did getting off kratom significantly help your mental health and motivation long term?
