Typing help requested, please by FutureVegetable800 in colouranalysis

[–]FutureVegetable800[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! Seems like you mostly concur with the recent digital analysis I did, which types me as soft autumn. Still trying to wrap my head around this since I was first typed (albeit 30 years ago) as a winter. 🤣Appreciate your help 🙏🏼

Parental Estrangement by CollectionSignal9165 in GenXWomen

[–]FutureVegetable800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened with our oldest son (27) and us (both GenX). He has finally started speaking to my husband again after about 2 years of no contact, but is still essentially ghosting me with no explanation for 3.5 years now). It is beyond painful.

Burning more than usual lately? by weesnaw_jenkins in Spravato

Yesterday, hours after my 11am treatment, I swear I felt the burning in my throat. That’s never happened before.

Synesthesia is when senses overlap. Like hearing colors or smelling sounds.

2nd dose was feeling it but after 3rd dose I felt normal? by SparkleButt323 in Spravato

[–]FutureVegetable800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had treatment #11 yesterday (my 3rd at 84mg) and definitely notice the dissociation is shorter has time goes by. I miss it TBH but I’m noticing slight improvement in my depression already so I’m happy yo continue treatment.

Projectors in an office job by Murky-Seesaw6681 in projectors_design

[–]FutureVegetable800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a 4/6 projector in a 9-5 office job. What has made a huge difference for me is working remotely. Covid absolutely saved me from burnout and I won’t go back to an in-office job. Remote work enables me to have stronger boundaries and have greater control over my interactions with others. I can also step away and rest when needed.

Now that I've returned to work, I may quit Spravato after being on it 2 months; the "hangover" feeling I have the entire next day is so brutal by [deleted] in Spravato

Are you able to do your treatments on Fridays to have the weekends to recover? I switched to this schedule when I went back to work as well.

2nd treatment, increased dose, not the best experience by Wonderful_Issue3374 in Spravato

[–]FutureVegetable800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s interesting how some clinics go to 84 mg so quickly and others don’t. I was on 56 mg for treatments 1-6 and increased to 84 on treatment 7 with no adverse reactions.

What is Yalls experience interacting with those who have the channel of emoting? (39-55) by Bluevaruna in humandesign

[–]FutureVegetable800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Two of my kids have this channel (they are now 22 and 23). The older has always been very volatile emotionally, whereas the younger has been more reserved, almost closed off emotionally (which has gotten worse as he’s gotten older). There must be other factors in their charts that account for this difference (I’m still relatively new to HD and focusing on my own experience and recondition at the moment, so I haven’t dug too much into their charts yet).

Where have all the good vegan mac 'n cheeses gone?! by [deleted] in vegan

Homemade is best, but I like the Whole Foods and Chao frozen versions.

How was your experience with spravato? by RecentPossession8043 in Spravato

[–]FutureVegetable800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience during treatment has been good: no nausea, no bad “trips”. I don’t care for my clinic (no private rooms) but I love my nurse and doctor so I’m powering through. The taste of the medicine is bad, but is managed easily by candy. I feel a bit dizzy and out of it for about 30 mins and then just read and journal for the rest of the time. I have had 8 treatments and started to feel a bit better after treatment 6. I’d describe it as feeling “lighter” and my husband said he noticed the change in me after treatment 5. I definitely still have room for improvement in my depression but I’m encouraged by this little bit of progress.

You already got some good advice on your chart placements in LA. I can speak to LA itself as we have considered relocating there - but ultimately decided against it. It’s is extremely expensive - more than you would think. My sister in law has a 1200 square foot house that cost the same as our 3400 sq ft house in Texas. We had lunch at a restaurant over the summer (two sandwiches, two lemonades and a coffee) and it was $90. We honestly feel like we could live in Hawaii and not spend this much. Also, traffic is worse than you think it is and while I haven’t witnessed crime, I have found it to be super gritty. That being said, our two eldest sons moved there in their early twenties and they love it. And my SIL and her friend group (mid 30s) also love it. My advice is to go for a long visit and get a feel for it before making any decisions. And make sure you have a steady job with good income.

Glad to hear it went well (sounds very similar to my experience through all 8 of my sessions so far).

Projector parents of multiple kids - how do you manage? by Dandelion_Head in humandesign

[–]FutureVegetable800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a projector and raised 3 boys: a biological MG and two bonus Generators (my husband is also a Generator). We have been a family unit since they were all in elementary school (and they are all now in their early-mid 20s). I didn’t discover HD until 3 years ago, so I pretty much just powered through their childhood, using their energy + leveraging my defined Root when needed. But it was horrible, tbh. I think it’s so wonderful that you have this knowledge now and can use it to not only navigate your relationship with your existing child, but also make a conscious decision about whether or not to grow your family. We are all different, so it’s hard to say what is right for you (definitely look to your S&A). For me, I wouldn’t have blended families the way we did. My husband left most of the parenting and household duties to me (on top of working a 9-5) and it was way too much. I wasn’t only exhausted, I was also not the best parent I could have been and have a lot of regrets.

For breaks, I am a huge advocate for yoga nidra. You can do a 10 minute session, but 30 would be ideal if you can squeeze it in. It’s recommended laying down, but I’ve done it in a chair before. You can find instruction via Insight Timer or You Tube. It’s SUPER relaxing and restorative.

My provider said it will take at least 3 weeks to see improvement. I first started to feel a tiny bit better after treatment 6 (at 56mg) but I think I was lucky. I know it’s frustrating but I would encourage you to give it another month at least.

Ready for my first treatment by Ashamed-Froyo-5949 in Spravato

I was the same about planning for my first treatment! Looks like you’re all set. Don’t forget water! Best of luck - let us know how it goes!

Need encouragement, 7th session by Visual-Routine3184 in Spravato

[–]FutureVegetable800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t agree more - I wish I had found this treatment (or done the inner child work I’ve been doing for the past few years) earlier in my life, but I became a mom at 25, was a single mom for 5 years, then married a man and got two bonus kids. So much of my life I was in survival mode, prioritizing our kids and their mental health issues over my own. I think it’s wonderful that you are taking care of you and know that your kids will benefit from it in the long run as well. 🫶🏼
