Hi @blutitaniumand welcome.

First, let me start by saying how truly sorry I am about the hardships you have had to endure throughout your life. You are definitely not alone and Connect is a nonjudgmental safe place where you can share your feelings of what you are going through and connect with other members who may be experiencing something similar. I know that @audriana, @mandrake70 and @happy2bhear have all had discussions or comments about depression, anxiety or ketamine injections. Perhaps they can share what they know about the medication and the feelings they have had too.

I want to share a number with you in case feel like you need someone to talk to right now:
- Call or text 988
- Chat with a counsellor at https://988lifeline.org/chat/
Chat is available 24/7 across the U.S. You don't need your phone. You can chat on your computer.

Have you felt this way before? How did your feelings change the last time you felt despair like this?

Thank you Amanda for your reply and your words of encouragement. I will be giving that number a ring and hopefully a successful outcome will pass from it. I am at my wits end. I truly am.

I have felt this way before yes since the age of 8 y/o. I tried ending my life using my father's pistol. But the pistol kept jamming. Instead of my grandmother asking me what was wrong and why I was doing it, I got the hiding of my life that day twice, both from her and then from my father. No one asked me if I needed help.

To your last question, I drowned myself in my work and worked till late into the evening, distracting myself so that I didn't have the time to crash or fall victim to my mixed states, but as usual it eventually caught up to me and was hospitalized for 6 months after breaking my back at work due to the stress and pressure I eventually put my manic under that my body could no longer handle anymore. I had ronlearn how to walk again. I lost my job after then.

Thank you for your kind and caring reply it means alot to me.
