Hello everyone. I kind of fell off the face of the Earth for a while. I'm sure some of you can relate...nothing major or drastic happened. My garden is flourishing and I will, too, soon. I have kept up with my neighborhood advocacy group, Bows of Hope ( really cool, positive Facebook group) and getting my home in order. When I am in a "good" mood, I'd rather do something creative then "clean."
I am resuming Spravato--esketamine treatments, starting 11/10/20:
Wednesdays & Fridays for 4 weeks.
Then once a week for a month.
Then once every other week until I reach maintenance again.
My last treatment in March, 2019, lasted for 5 months...then I renewed my contract: My Unsuicide Note on 8/20/2020.
My psychiatrist asked me. "Are you still cautiously optimistic about Spravato?"
I know that I responded well with Spravato, in conjunction with taking advantage of my "Awakening."
Body, mind, & soul combo, please.
I'm concerned about logistics, but I am focusing on
"Hope is the joyful expectation of good things to come."... and knowing I cannot control everything. This year, I had a revelation about the significant impact anxiety has had on my life.
So, I think I'm in a good place.
If you're interested, I will keep you posted on my progress.
Sharing, teaching, interacting...positive strategies for me.
Wish me well.
Thanks for allowing me to participate in this group. ☮
