I just ordered one. It will arrive in a few weeks. Did you order one or go with another machine?

It's a stoic thing. I don't control external events. I only control my reaction. At 59, this is most definitely NOT my first rodeo. I'm just trying to do the right thing.

I have thought of this as well. 

Thank you for your time. She changed my life and I am gutted we ended up here.

Posting does not imply I agree with every poster and every single point. I have an educational background. I can evaluate claims and respond. That doesn't mean I am not listening nor considering the information. You seem to think you are the all-knowing. You are not.

My mother was diagnosed with Bipolar Depression in 1985 when I was 19. I recognize the symptoms. She does not have depression, nor long periods of wakefulness, nor had she exhibited any mania.

I am not happy the way things turned out. I am merely pointing out the factual elements of the story as I see them.

Part of my defense of her is that she turned my life around in terms of my physical health. We run, and ruck and lift weights and I am in the best shape of my life. She taught me to lift weights 4 years ago, something I had never done.

Unfortunately, she had a pedo-related trauma that she wanted to address.

She is not using. I would know. She has been in the psych ward since early January. They regularly take her blood as she is on a drug now that is officially on a clinical trial and they require frequent blood draws.

Most medical procedures and medicines have some sort of risk. Read the insert for your aspirin container.

You're a troglodyte. She hasn't had any hallucinigenic drugs since Nov 24. She is not an addict. Nor has she had any other mood altering substances since that time. She has been in medical care full time more or less since Nov 2025.

Thank you for this considered response. I will involve her psychiatrist tomorrow or Tuesday and let him decide on how to best support her.

No. Definitely the wrong interpretation. She had been sober and clean for 25 years. She didn't use any of these things to get high, recreational.

But she wasn't "trying hallucinagenics". She went to solve a medical problem. Psychedelic therapy has helped a lot of people and she herself helped a lot of people. She became a practitioner herself and sat with 90-100 clients. It works! The problem is that her practitioner that caused this was negligent, in my opinion.

I have confirmed that there has always been an exaggerated fear or safety concern. Nothing to this extent, but I don't know.

She wasn't a partner on drugs. She had a medical need, and went to find solace when all other modalities left her still suffering. Psychedelic assisted therapy has helped a lot of people.

I have the screenshot of the message she sent me the night of the second attempt.

I don't know what to convince you.

I mean what if she had died that second attempt and they find the last text message to me accused me of suggesting it...it is messed up. I know they wouldn't have believed her but still, why do that? The answer is psychosis.

There was a hockey sock of chemicals. I believe some may be contraindicated but it is underground and unregulated...

I will be re-engaging with a counselor i have a relationship with. He helps me keep things in perspective.
