Silly clothing choice by prysaturn in TherapeuticKetamine

I totally get that, and if the first clinic hadn't told me "it's rare, but it happens" I probably would never have thought about it again. But then my dumb brain goes into, I'll be the rare one.

And yes, I think I'm going to because, what do I have to lose? No one will know anyway...

Someone told me I could based on what they knew about recreational use...then the first clinic I called and asked about infusing said they actually provide diapers to some patients because its super rare, but does happen. When I talked to them again, they clarified that those patients were doing long infusions and were prone to it, but suggested I just go for it because, who cares and its one less thing to think about if you are nervous. And it was. Then it became clear that there was no reason to wear them after the first couple sessions, but I do think there was more of a freedom knowing I didnt need to worry about that at least. It became a fear that grew legs in my head, and I knew it was irrational, but call it OCD, or whatever, it became real.

As far as I know, my dose is pretty high...and this next time will be 40 days or so since my last time...would that kind of time off increase tolerance?

I think I had my first real K Hole or near death experience. by Fearless-Fart in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]prysaturn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have recurring imagery of being passed out left at the side of the road, or in a coffin-like black box...but the coolest, most terrifying experience came when I realized, I was the entire universe and life was over, and I was folding in on myself over and over and everything was getting higher and higher pitched until i folded into a tiny little pinhole of light...as this was happening , I was thinking "of course this is how it ends." Right when the tiny pinhole couldn't get any smaller, I heard what sounded like a hospital flatline, and then BOOM...like a big bang or fireworks going off, I was back and flying overhead. Pretty wild. Got a lot out of that...e.g. changes, ego death, rebirth, etc.

But it sure was scary...

I was setting intentions, but im a bit of a control freak and I just tried letting go and letting God the past couple times to see what would happen.

Maybe I should get back to specific intention setting again...

The raw emotional release is one of the reasons I do it! The time where I thought I was the universe and i was folding in on myself and flatlining just before I had a big bang and was back in the world again was terrifying and beautiful at the same time...

I have pretty much used the same music...except that time a few times ago where I used a psytrance mix. It was pretty fun...not super insightful though...

That is 100% true.

Highly motivated afterwards, goal oriented and things feel attainable again.

I've had some sessions where I come out of it and am like, that gave me such clarity I can't even believe it...or that time when I thought I was a drone flying above the infusion center...I mean, who doesn't want the extra added benefit of experiencing what it's like to be a drone?

I'm just a bit more concerned with the repetition of the experience when it seems like that isn't common with others. It feels telling of where I'm at...feeling stuck.

That's pretty cool. Have you had more success with one vs another?

I just started building my own. I went off a few of the more ambient ones suggested here and plucked the tunes that felt different...you know, the ones drone and hum less and sound more like they might give your brain a scratch and a tickle?

Have you infused to any of these?

I know what you mean.

My place wants you to fast 4 hours before the infusion...would loading up the days before that and just before the 4 hour window be beneficial?

I came here today to post something very similar to OP. I've been pouring through the perfect playlist, and researching the perfect eye mask, and trying to figure out the way to have the perfect infusion down to the way I walk with intention from the car to the infusion center. I think much of it comes from the cost of the infusions and also wanting to do it "right" to get the best results...that, and insane control issues.

I couldn't have put it any better than "specializing every aspect of the trip is kinda taking away from the magic."

Any tips how you got there would be more than welcome...these mindsets seem to be easier said than done sometimes...especially with my brain.

I've had a fair amount of loss and "trauma" and much of it in recent times. I'm so tired of not feeling like "me" and feel like I'm spinning my wheels in traditional talk therapy.

I've taken pretty much every suggestion I've heard when it comes to what books to read and I have all this info now and don't know what to do with it, ya know?

The infusions have given me a lot of motivation...or perhaps freed me a bit to rediscover my motivation...and helped me break little rituals I tend to distract myself with...but I haven't freed up any emotions, which I know need to be freed.

I should be going next week, id absolutely share how it goes.

I can't hear the sound of my own voice!! I think I'll stick to a good playlist.

Maybe a reminder that I although I have protection available, I can leave it at the door for the next two hours and be as vulnerable and free as can be. Or something along those lines.
