Ketamine and mental transformation
Ketamine treatments can be life-changing. Nearly a year ago my mental health was going off a cliff. I was going through crippling depression and despair in the aftermath of the pandemic. I never imagined it could get so bad, and I was truly worried for myself. I was in therapy but was unsatisfied, and then I saw ads for Ketamine treatments and realized I owed it to myself to try. I decided to try low dose treatments to incorporate the changes gradually into daily life. It took several months to go from 15mg to the max dose of 120mg. I stayed on 120 daily for several more months, then gradually started decreasing my usage to every other day, then just a few days a week. Now I feel like 3 days of 120 each a week are adequate for maintenance. It happened naturally- I just didn't need it as much. I'm very happy to see the inclusion of a real Joyous website, with supporting literature and a community of actual fellow users. That's great, because when I started there was no community and it felt a little lonely. On my own, I used to take my dose in the mornings, then do yoga and meditate. That daily routine over time was transformative. Eventually, that "walking off a cliff" feeling, like a yawning void beneath my feet, gradually healed. I still feel depressed but I'm not overwhelmed by it. I know my moods and symptoms so much better now, and I'm better equipped to deal with the mental downturns when they occasionally happen. Ketamine was a major part of this transformation, but the willingness to change and persistence, goals and daily motivations were equally important.
