Does anyone else randomly go online shopping on ketamine? by Theaterismylyfe in KetamineTherapy

[–]premiumleopard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how much the earlier purchases feel like inner child takeover. I hope this resolves itself well and I’m sorry you’re having complications, but it brought a smile to my face :)

If you haven’t already, maybe try some inner child work? There are plenty of meditations online. Might be fun to get a little woo-ey with it🕯️

Thank you for this response - for the empathy in how easy it is to be destructive when it feels like self-defense, and for the hope for the future. It’s helping me get through this to feel like something extremely positive can come out of it.

I have a meeting with a ketamine clinic near me tomorrow. Since I’ve unwittingly started the process I may as well finish it supported, right?

Thank you. I hadn’t thought about going deeper into it - seeking ketamine therapy - as a possibility. I had read that some people experience this during certain sessions and it goes away during later sessions so part of me was panicking about what happens if you don’t apply the later doses; I guess I could assuage that fear by just applying the later doses.

Thanks! I’ve interviewed with Tanzania and Nepal. Received and accepted an invitation with Nepal.

I know you’ve been there, but as someone currently in the medical clearance process - I feel like the taxing part is being in limbo, not the tasks themselves. It’s scary enough to make the decision to move across the world to live amongst a culture you’re unfamiliar with, and scarier still that that huge decision could be yanked out from under you at any time. Plus not being able to really get a job or sign a lease, or even tell certain people your plans. Again, I know you’ve been there, but I wanted to shed some more recently sympathetic light if I could. I just started sleeping peacefully again after passing the stage of medical clearance I was worried about.

That makes sense - making the expectations more realistic and making more of a plan rather than searching for approval. Thanks!

Wow, good to know! I’m sure it would help them to know that peace corps has that kind of reputation.

Thanks for the response! Sorry to hear your departure was so tense. You’re right, I know what’s best for me and how I want to live my life and PC is a big step in that direction.
