I've struggled with mental illness for most of my adult life. My childhood trauma caused all of this. For years, I felt like a walking zombie but if I didn't take my medications, I was unable to leave my house. My mental illness crippled me. In 2017, I was tired of it, and researched natural remedies for anxiety. I found kratom a few short weeks later. I weaned myself off of those medications, and in July of 2017 started taking kratom. It was like a light switch for me. Suddenly, I stopped having panic attacks. In 2021, I actually found a job for the first time in two decades. I take one teaspoon twice a day with orange juice. Please don't take this wonderful plant away from the people.
