Tapering

So I've been a lurker/occasional poster for some time because I, like you all, really want to quick this garbage powder. I'm coming up to almost two years of use, and that upsets me so much. I've been a light to moderate to heavy to moderate user, which is where I'm at now. I tapered down a substantial amount a week and a half ago. Oddly enough, around the week mark is when I got severe anxiety and insomnia. I assume it's due to the taper, and I think I'm lucky because the insomnia isn't as bad as some posts I've read.

I'm stressed as hell because the anxiety I've been getting is basically me just panicking (mostly at night) about any and every mistake I've made in my entire professional career, up to five years ago. Then when I'm not panicking about that, I'm freaking out that I've done long term damage from kratom (no symptoms of such physical ailment, aside from the anxiety and insomnia. But of course I'm panicked that my brain is stuck like this forever because of the kratom.. and of course that I've either killed my kidneys/liver/entire body).

If you're still reading, thank you! I'm not sure how crazy this sounds. I'm sleep deprived and anxious, but I was able to get close to seven hours of sleep last night, coming off of an avg of four hours the past few nights (could be worse, I know. But sleep is my sanctuary!)

I will quit this time. There's no question in my mind, I just hope it's not too awful..
