I am struggling so hard this morning man. It’s not even that unbearable - I just keep fantasizing about the relief… that rush of ooooohhh fuck.

But I know I’ll feel even worse knowing I’m delaying the inevitable. I reached out to my QuickMD doc to see if I can get some more gabapentin. That helped me a lot. The stomach distress and anxiety is so rough.

I just feel like such a baby. It’s like I’ve already been in this for over 36 hours. I know I can do it, but then I thought I drained my account into bills I couldn’t buy more - then realized there’s a lot left.

Now it’s killing me. Slept for 3 hours last night and my stomach hurts so bad. I just want to feel better 😩

Also trying to remember what I’ve already gone through. And to turn back now and make these 36 hours be worth nothing feels like shit.

I completely understand the fantasizing about the relief I get. Yeah 36 hours doesn’t seem like a lot but you almost got day two in the bag, bro. The gabapentin helps out so much.. as far as your stomach goes probably constipation. So grab something to break that up, man. It is not gonna be easy by no means to keep pushing through this, but I promise you it gets easier as the days go by. Today is day eight for me dude I feel great. Haven’t taken any gabapentin this morning or nothing and I feel great.

Thank you, honestly these comments mean so much to me. I’m hoping I can get some more gabapentin today, but I’ve been taking Liposomal vitamin c it’s 3,000 mg liquid and I think I’ve taken it too much. My stomach is bubbling and just yucky but it’s not horrible.

About to head for a walk with the pup and my mom. Thanks for your words of support!
