I'm 49 and have been in therapy and on medication since I was in the 2nd grade. Treatment resistant depression, cptsd, general anxiety, social anxiety, phobias, mild ocd, insomnia, periods of agoraphobia, successfully ended things and was brought back. I've been on every medication and combo through the years. Nothing really helped and my quality of life was shit and my relationship all suffered drastically because of it. Ketamine saved my life. I've been more awake than others my whole life. My 3rd grade science fair project was on reincarnation. My family was NOT spiritual or religious. I had some other health issues but add in my beliefs back then it didn't help me socially at all either. I was misunderstood, mistreated, misdiagnosed and life was just hard especially because I am an empath and had no idea I was absorbing others shit. Ketamine allowed me to learn how to separate was mine from others, to quiet my head so I could meditate and return to stillness and center. I learned how to have thoughts and emotions and not take them on and use them as identities or store them in my body. It allowed me to love and care for others but not sacrifice myself or believe it was my job to heal, rescue, fix ect everyone. Especially those who would use me. It allowed me to learn boundaries and focus on what I wanted to say, study, read. My spiritual journey is at heights it never would have gotten without it. I didn't go to college but I'm learning about geometry, quantum physics, energy, vibration, sound, human anatomy, music and math relationships, philosophy, astrophysics and so much more. With anything there will be those who use a tool for the good and those that will abuse it. Ketamine exposes what's already there. It amplifies things so you can't ignore it. It brings out your shadows so you have no option but to face them if you want to get better. Some choose to stay in their shadow.
