a brief update: i'm not doing too well, depression-wise, but i'm starting the ketamine again next week--this time at a higher dosage, and i'm going to stick with it--so hopefully that will do something. besides make me throw up, which it will definitely do. i seriously cannot overstate how foul this stuff tastes, to the point where i genuinely wonder why they didn't do something about it?? like it's a nasal spray, but you taste nasal sprays, that's just how they work. anyway i'm hoping it also affects my brain chemistry in a positive way.

i also injured my wrist trying to exercise, which feels extremely unjust, and i had to go to urgent care bc it got quite bad but they did x-rays and found nothing, so i'm currently on day 3 of taking 500 mg naproxen twice a day, which is doing wonders for the pain, at least. i don't have my range of motion back yet and can't put weight on it, but hopefully that will come back, and if not i am to go see a regular doctor and get more scans.

those are pretty much the only developments, i've been spending most of my time being sad and not cleaning the house. i did cook the best thing i've ever made, which was fun, and i will share the recipe at some point when i have the energy.

I hope the ketamine does good, and that you find solid things to hold on to in the fog of depression.

Just wanted to send sympathy and say FUCKING BRAINS.

Aaaargh yes. It happens but it always feels so unfair.
