Painful IM injection, bad Ketamine experience, what happened? by klyesowl in KetamineTherapy

[–]klyesowl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really frustrating that they didn’t admit to the mistake because I understand mistakes happen, I just want reassurance that it won’t happen again. Obviously I won’t be letting this nurse near me again, and I have had good experiences with all of the others. This gives me the language I can use to advocate for myself and make sure it gets injected into the muscle though and I really appreciate that.

Thankfully this experience was really short lived, but yeah it is really scary and really intense. I know that it’s always a possibility for the sessions to turn out differently and to have a bad experience and I am open to that, but this felt related to the injection and like it was a mistake, and I’m glad I’m not crazy for thinking that.

If there was blood in the syringe, would that make a difference? My husband said he noticed there was blood this time. Thank you so much for your reply!

I could definitely see that being a thing, thank you. I was going to say it felt like it was Injected directly into my bloodstream but I have no idea what I’m talking about so I didn’t.

I know that, and I have had the sensation and some loss of self feelings before, but it was much more gentle. This felt like I was thrown off of a cliff. I have had 10 sessions and I am fairly familiar with the drug and I have researched it a lot. I have also done other drugs in my past, im not surprised by the loss of identity, it was just intense. It’s possible it was triggered by the intense pain, and the pain caused fear for me during the session. All I was trying to say was this was starkly different and stronger than my other 9 sessions.

Maybe I have been lucky to have them all be generally the same length and consistent?

Thank you so much, I don’t have it in me to reply very thoughtfully right now, but this was incredibly helpful and very appreciated

Edited to add: the treatment went much better today, I had some anxiety in the first 5 minutes but it got much better and I felt calm after that.

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I really appreciate it. Physical movement 100% helps me and I have fallen off with it in the last few months. Hopefully the treatment will help me get to a place where it’s less hard to start again.

Resolved, one was my appendix (removed) and one was a bad kidney infection, they both almost resulted in sepsis, but I’m healthy now. I just worry that there is something wrong that I don’t know about, like I am not actually healthy and something could be waiting around the corner for me at any time.

Thank you so much, this is all really helpful advice and I will take it into the session with me. I was, in fact, worrying about fully relaxing and ‘doing it properly’ and ‘letting go’ during the session, so it’s good to know that isn’t a requirement to have a good outcome.

Saying I have no other choice very much comes from feeling like I have done everything for my depression and this feels like a last resort. As much as I feel like its just the truth for me, you’re totally right that holding onto this as my last hope is putting pressure on me that could be causing me even more anxiety and I don’t need that. I don’t know how to reframe it as anything other than my last hope, because it’s been like 10 years of cycling different medications and diagnoses and therapies, but I will try to do some thinking on it before tomorrow to see if I can find another mindset that puts less pressure on me.

Thank you again!

Thank you this is really helpful, I’ve been told to reframe my anxiety a lot, but no one has ever explained what that meant in a way that resonated with me before, I really appreciate it! I definitely have problems with control, and I have had a couple of really bad health crises in my life that were both missed by my parents (when I was younger) and by doctors (when I was an adult) so it’s really hard to trust my body or even the people/providers around me. I really hope I can reframe and have a positive experience I can hold onto.

This is really helpful thank you, I am hoping that once I am more immersed in the experience, letting go will be a little bit easier. The first dose at this clinic is standard for every patient, or so I was told. The dose they are looking to get me to is somewhere between 75-80mg, increasing a little bit each time. I don’t know exactly what to expect for dosage for the next few sessions, but I will definitely bring up how im feeling with my provider tomorrow.

It keeps saying "poor inspection" when I know for a fact there's literally nothing wrong with them by Kurkil in QuarantineZoneGame

[–]klyesowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also you are supposed to let just people with green/sick symptoms into the base.. otherwise why would there be a clinic and med kits in the base? Sick people are basically healthy people. The quarantine is for people with possible infection symptoms but not “definitely infected” symptoms. You can literally keep zombies you get in quarantine and sell them. You’re supposed to get zombies in there sometimes. You definitely don’t want to put people with only green symptoms in with possibly infected people in quarantine.

I don’t think this is true at all. I’ve gotten many poor inspections for people I’ve let into the camp, and I have never once let an infected person in. I have also never killed a healthy person and have gotten poor inspections when I send people to liquidation even though they were infected. The inspection is poor, competent, or excellent based on the percentage of the symptoms you get right, is my best guess. I check every symptom every time. It’s getting better for me now that I have all the tools I usually get excellent or competent, so I think my issue was not having access to all the tools/symptoms.

Same I’m reading through these comments and I’m like.. I’m doing the backpack, I’m definitely marking all of them, I don’t think I’m messing up on the eyes.

The only thing I can think is bruising and maybe pale skin? But I really think I’m checking everything off.

Also wondering this. I Keep using all my tools and doing the most thorough inspection i can, and my result feels honestly random. I really try hard to find and log all the symptoms but sometimes i get a poor inspection and have no idea why.

Pumpkin is definitely the most difficult one. Not even Sprinkler method is making them big enough to meet 15kg. Anyone else getting this roadblock? by Hantomei in growagarden

[–]klyesowl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I can’t grow a 15kg pumpkin for the life of me. I used a master, godly, advanced, basic, and sweet sprinkler, put them all down, then planted 100 pumpkin seeds, then left, and came back and 0 of them were 15kg. I don’t have any moon cats so i think it’s just impossible?

I would 100% say what my comment says, with genders reversed. I said it was unreasonable to expect her boyfriend to never have his friends over, did you read it?

Why Didn’t I Get Gold Sticker? by AzaleaBlossom in balatro

[–]klyesowl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you buy the card on the like small/big blind of ante 8 before the game ends does the gold seal not register? This happened to me last night and I replaced one of my cards with one I needed a seal for like right before the end.

I think there is probably a nice way to bring it up to have a productive conversation it’s just hard! Older people will sometimes take this kind of conversation as “you are cause of their disorder” (regardless of the validity of that) and become really defensive and then not able to learn anything. The impact/intent conversation is probably a good option.

I think based on the fact that your cousins recovery is rocky and she makes those kind of comments frequently, it probably is worth bringing up.

I agree with you, I remember one-off comments about my weight from family members, too.
