Bit of a Back Slide This was the first full week that I didn’t have two treatments of Spravato, and it was a bit of a doozy, but not for the reasons of therapy or medication. I just had a rough time this past week nursing my ESA back to a point where she wanted

It would be about another year before I was able to get back on medication for my depression, but now my new doctor made me choose between medication for my pain and medication for my anxiety. I wasn’t allowed both. Then I was finally able to find a mental health professional that would oversee my…

Over the next four weeks, starting with this one, my treatment will be just once a week. The odd thing is I’m going to miss going out that second day, the clinic where I get my treatments is just so calming and it’s a nice couple of hours where I feel like I can relax…

Everyone around me is noticing the huge difference the Spravato treatment has made in my life. My doctors, therapists, pretty much everyone that knew or met me before I started. I am starting to feel amazing, and looking forward to a future, and yet I am still angry. It’s not a hot violent anger like…

It is important to note that not everyone who has depression or has been suicidal is like me. There are some parents who just can’t fight their darkness, or demons as people say and end their own lives. This isn’t to say that they were bad parents, or even bad people. Their lives just got…
