Game Changer
Ketamine treatment has been a game changer for me. I have tried numerous medications to treat anxiety and depression over the past decade and none have worked as well as Ketamine. It seems to have enabled me to reframe my thoughts. It's not that negative thoughts no longer surface, but that I am able to take charge of them when they do. I feel more in control of my own thoughts and emotions. I believe this is due to the neuroplasticity that Ketamine enables. Ketamine infusions at clinics are more difficult to obtain and pricier than Mindbloom. I am so thankful that this at -home option was available to me for those reasons. Mindbloom can feel a little weird with the "guides" and going through the 'journey," but it was actually nice to talk out some of my thoughts with my guide. You do have to make sure you schedule everything in advance as they book a bit far out. But if you are on top of it and schedule as much as you can at the very beginning, it will likely go pretty smoothly. Seeing a trained therapist outside of Mindbloom at the same time you are going through Ketamine treatment also strikes me as a very important component, so that they can help you in reframing your thoughts and in gaining emotional skills/tools. I had been to therapists before Mindbloom and it didn't help me nearly as much as it has helped since going through the Ketamine treatments. Also, yes, it is expensive, but not as expensive as infusions or as much as the price you pay emotionally and relationally for having severe unmanaged depression. For whoever is looking into this, regardless of what route of treatment you choose, there is hope. I wish you the best and please know you are not alone. So many of us have struggled or do struggle with this as well. Don't give up.
