For anybody that stumbles across this and has a question, I'm not on here much, but i WILL answer. In the meantime, it's been over two years and still the best decision ever. it didn't help with dealing with the daily aggravation of life unfortunately, but the main root cause of my depression is gone! And just having that packaged up helps with dealing with everyday life. It's like I'm no longer carrying around 1000lbs of emotional "bricks" anymore
@@tytlyf the original source of my depression (abusive step father) has been permanently boxed up. I've been without that anguish for three years and don't see it returning. i am now however probably under the most stress I've ever been in in my life and have signed up for Joyous to help me cope. Basically need something to just help me not flip out on oen of my co-workers or go full rage in traffic, plus I've got a host of family issues going right now, just a REALLY trying time, but i suspect once i get through this year I'll be fine again and be able to quit that as well.
You are the most real, relatable human I've encountered on RUclips in a very long time. I hope you are doing well. I signed up for MB and am hopeful it will help. Loved the "noticing" of your musical inclinations changing a bit. I've had the same experience over the years as I've become more self-aware. I used to love really emotive sad and depressive music, and I tend to like more upbeat stuff. Take care!
Love ur T NIN got me thru my high school years, and beyond, Pretty Hate Machine especially. Can sing every word from beginning to end (both sides 😉 😂 I don’t miss cassettes) Thanks for sharing. I’d love to post videos, myself, but I’d prolly throw up on the camera or start crying. 🫂 🕊️ 🤘
Thank you! Your video helped me decide to do the treatments. I had good results. I liked the feelings I got from the treatments but was worried about doing them because I am a recovering alcoholic. It helped me and I did three sessions and felt that was enough. I still have the medication hidden away and I am waiting for a time when I think I might need it again. It's been almost six months and I have yet to do them. I think that's a good result for me.
This is very helpful and I like your analogy. I think my problem is that a few of my old Tupperware containers are moldy and leaking out and stink so they contaminate the rest of the stuff. I need to dig in there and clean them out! Yay for listening to happier music. I have suffered from depression for most of my adult life and my poor kids have had to deal with me. I’m gonna start Mindbloom in a few days and I really hope it helps. I hope you’re doing better my man.
This gives me hope. I turn fifty in September and have had anxiety/depression for most of my life. The typical male stuff. Relationship with my father. His passing in 2005 due to a car accident. Problems throughout school. ect ect. Plus all of the current stuff we are all going through. Perhaps I will give the therapy a try.
Hey there, I just happened across this video and wanted to say that I'm happy this was an effective treatment for you :) we all deserve relief from the swirling mix in our brains
I have a friend to Thailand who is suicidal is there a chance that he might be able to get into a program over there? Do you know of anything that I could do to help him?
@@mikedavidson8879 THANK YOU! Sounds about right!! FYI: Spravato thing not working out. Its lower dosed, long and drawn out (like months to a year), its not how people have been describing ketamine results in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. Plus, my sinuses are NOT happy after a couple attempts. I was leaning toward sublingual at home vs IV and u just gave me the info i needed to decide! TY!! 🙏enjoy your better living, see u on the other side real soon! 👍
@@mikedavidson8879 You said 800 mg in the video? Is this a typo here? Just wondering because I've done 400-450 mg for several sessions and it just doesn't seem ike enough. Also troches sublingually through another company BetterU. I've seen some improvement but nothing like what I hear from different testimonials online. Did the company actually tell you to double the dose or did you just decide to do it? Thankyou so much for replying when you get a chance.
What you captured, and how you explained your experience is so authentic. Thank you for being vulnerable, and reminding people they’re not alone.

Thanks for your review and experience. The effects from your original dosing treatment are lasting to this day without followup treatments?
I have a friend to Tad who suicidal can I get him help on a program like this? I’ll be glad to pay for it.

good to hear! i think maybe i could have stopped at three too, but as of yet, i don't feel i need any more treatment
I have my intro call tomorrow night and hope to start in the coming weeks. Thank you for the info. ❤
It's been almost two years now and the reason for my treatment hasn't returned, I've removed all but the faintest memory from my mind

Holy crap!!!! Are you reading my mind!?!?! Creeeeepy.
M A Y B E ???? Hope you're doing well!
Exact same experience here
I have my first session tonight!
How was it?
how'd it go?
I have a friend to Thailand who is suicidal is there a chance that he might be able to get into a program over there? Do you know of anything that I could do to help him?
honestly no idea, I haven't heard of it outside of the US
How many treatments and what did u do? IV, at home sublingual or S-ketamine nasal spray?
6 treatments a week apart, 80mg subligual. It's been over a year now and still thrilled!

@@eaburl i think that was from memory, think it's actually 80, but again, thats from memory
f/u video? how long did it last? is it something you need to keep doing? How do you feel? I hope you still have happiness.
Hope your feeling better man
yep, that specific topic hasn't bothered me since!
