I also have a $100-off promo code for #Mindbloom that I'm sure they won't mind if I share here. https://www.mindbloom.com/referrals?var=1&from=abb18e15-f92a-4b5e-a865-b80634662ec2

There's a therapist I watch on YouTube who shared her promo code in a video and I only found it after I'd signed up at the full price.

But hey, at least for sessions 2 and 3 and hopefully 4-6 as well, it seems to be helping me in terms of neuroplasticity and whatnot.

In other news, I've been watching a whole lot of YouTube videos, and occasionally I got ads for #Mindbloom, which is a ketamine-by-mail service for depression and anxiety. Unlike SSRIs and most other antidepressants, the effects from ketamine can happen within days vs. weeks or months, and you only have to take a few doses over a few sessions, rather than daily.

The price was $196 per "trip" for 6 sessions. You get dissolving tablets from a nearby compounding pharmacy, at the lowest dose.

This is the first post-therapy night in months where I don’t feel like I’ve been put through the wringer.

I attribute this to my #ketamine #microdose session Thursday. Working with #Mindbloom for this, and I have NOTHING but praise for every portion of the process.

Part of my ongoing issue has been a full “cistern” of pain, trauma, and flat-out sadness. So much so, that I have wondered if I need to revise / increase dosage of my anti-depressants.

That changed Thursday. Just. Freakin’. WOW.

Had my intake Zoom meeting with the clinician last week. She only read questions from her screen and didn't seem interested in me at all. The goal of this meeting was mostly determining if I'd quality for ketamine treatment (which I barely did; I wasn't considered depressed, but anxious enough to qualify, and there were no medical contraindications). Ketamine will arrive this week. First ketamine treatment session the week after!

I think psychedelics are incredibly interesting and I believe they can change lives for the better. Today I signed up with Mindbloom, which means I will soon be trying ketamine. This is the first legal, FDA-approved psychedelic in the USA. I am confident more will follow (e.g., LSD, psilocybin).
