Death to America. Solidarity friend. My wife and I are on several different medications for anxiety and depression. We can't help feel that they are just used to help take the edge of late state capitalism.

Our depression is weird because we used to work in biology/ecology, seeing the natural world you love being killed off for profit was too horrifying and disheartening for us. Combined the with inaction on other societal problems like healthcare and even gender/sex equality just made us fall into a deep pit of sadness.

I think that most people under 40 feel this way to some extent.

For anybody looking to get off opioids, kratom can definitely help the withdrawal symptoms. It's the only thing I've seen help a friend of mine who tried several times.

There's a lot of kratom types and brands, apparently, so do some research first!

Edit: I ran this by her, she said to also research delivery methods (powder, cap, or disk(?)), and dosage, before starting.

Here's some info on Gabapentin addiction: https://www.addictioncenter.com/drugs/gabapentin/

Please recognize the symptoms and always taper off gabapentin, some claim it has withdrawls worse than alcohol.
