I was just wondering if you could do like a 1 or 2 week course of Suboxone to get off of Kratom. I've taken Suboxone long term before and that is not ideal for a few reasons. I'm not trying to trade one addiction for another especially one that doesn't cause euphoria. Secondly, it causes constipation even worse than Kratom. I have extreme gut issues from long term usage of opiates/opiate like substances because of the horrible constipation. Long term constipation is not good for your gut at all. One of the reasons I want to get off of Kratom is because I would like to poop more regularly and treat my condition. I'm not making any progress because I'm barely going. I also just want to stop relying on this slop, and waking up everyday anxious and restless out of my mind. I feel like a slave having to dose just to feel normal, and it rarely ever feels that "good" anymore unless I take much more than I'm supposed to. I know you all know the deal.

I'm not asking for specific doses or a taper schedule. I'm mostly wondering whether anyone has used Suboxone very short-term to get through kratom withdrawal, and what that experience was like. Did you find it easier to stop Suboxone afterward, or did you end up needing to stay on it longer than you originally planned?

I've heard this could help with dysbiosis. I'm just wondering if this could potentially help body odor caused by extreme bacterial imbalances. I can't find anything on Google about it or even reddit. Does anyone know anything about this or ever tried it?

I'm an extremely toxic, self loathing, abusive, and insecure person. I struggle a lot with extreme self esteem issues and they control my life and how I treat others. I'm also someone who is lazy, has no ambition, and just doesn't care about anything. I'm constantly talking and thinking badly about myself. Unfortunately I was born as a very unnattractive woman and it's shaped me in horribly negative ways. I have ADHD and I think I probably have some cluster B personality disorders but I've never been diagnosed.

I tried therapy last year and it helped a little, but after months and months I just wasn't making enough progress. I forced myself to go but it was boring. the exercises I was given like the affirmations were something I tried . But I couldn't commit to more than one or two and it felt like I was gaslighting myself.

I just have extreme avolition and executive dysfunction.. I can barely clean and my hygiene has been starting to slip. I'm also on antidepressants, but they only help so much. It helps my mood swings, but makes me feel lazier.

Honestly, for therapy I've found that talking more about myself and my problems and engaging with the therapist makes me feel more excited. Just being given exercises and homework to do turns me off.

Any advice to help me? I want to get better.. Any specific therapy to recommend maybe? CBT is not for me.

A couple nights ago I heard what sounded exactly like a phone vibrating in my kitchen. It buzzed twice and then stopped. I heard what sounded like the exact same vibration about a month ago too, except this time it seemed a little quieter.

I don't have any electronics in my kitchen that would make a vibration sound. I did ask my boyfriend about it before I searched, so I know it's possible something could've been moved before I looked. I also live in an apartment, so I guess it could've come from a neighbor, but it really sounded like it was in my kitchen especially the first time. It was loud. At first I thought it was my phone because I keep my phone on the floor sometimes, but when I heard it most recently I had no new notifications and it wasn't on vibrate. Plus remember that the sound was quieter.

Is there any way to tell if there's actually a phone hidden somewhere, especially if Bluetooth is off? Or are there other things that can sound almost identical to a phone vibrating?

I was at Walmart and had my headphones off for a little bit because I was trying to be brave with my boyfriend and I heard an announcement over the intercom. A lady was reminding employees to please clean up before they leave, but mind you it's after 6 am and they had opened at 6 am. I feel like either they were trying to send me a message or they thought the smell was environmental and from a mess. I have an incredibly strong fecal/rotten egg odor that goes super far. Of course everyone in my life and people at work tell me it doesn't exist and that I'm crazy. I don't know, this just felt targeted to me.
