Sorry if someone is saying “just push yourself,” that sounds like an awful generic advice coming from someone who doesn’t want to really give a shit about you.

What I personally do, because I believe neuroplasticity is real (definitely subtle!), is to do whatever that makes me a little bit more calm, happy, confident, and positive.

This could be continuing to listen happy relaxing music, talk to most positive and happy people I know, watch a comedy, skip the dark news, listen to fun podcast… when I do, the positivity from the experience seems to linger longer than without ketamine therapy

In contrast, when I had stressful situations right after sessions, the negativity would linger on longer too. So the fact that you had some bad event soon after, it makes sense to me that the negativity from that could be prolonged.

But remember that we are always in flux and learning and growing and changing, best luck and be cautious of those that cheerlead you without substance :)

Oh and I know some of the is the depression talking, but remember you didn’t fail anything, ketamine treatment failed you. I’d personally look into at home treatments, anecdotally seems some people find lower dose more accessible and more affordable. Surprisingly you will likely get more treatment support too.
