i have endometriosis, adenomyosis, and PCOS. having penetrative sex can be painful so one day i took 1.5 mg of klonopin before. 1 mg is my regular dose, .5 mg was my emergency dose — i was within medical guidance — but i got a small high. i stopped sex and called someone in AA to confess my “sin”

thankfully my much-older friend who also deals with chronic pain told me to give myself grace but a different person could have destroyed me in that moment, making me think of sex as an addictive habit and my pain/anxiety medication just another drug to abuse
