ECT & Ketamine

I make posts about my experiences with Severe Treatment-Resistant Depression, ElectroConvulsive Therapy, and Spravato treatment. I'm open to questions, so if folks are curious you're welcome to ask.

The full Step Down series in position. If I was doing a bit better than the previous treatment, the painting is hung a little higher. If I was doing a little worse, the painting is hung lower. Overall, a slight improvement in how I'm doing but the best part is I finally made it down to monthly treatments!

Another week, another treatment. I'm slowly rebuilding my life after the breakup of an 8 year long relationship.

Another week, another Spravato treatment.

I keep hearing people online talking about "grippy sock vacations" when they go to the psych ward. I'm not sure what I think about that yet. What are your thoughts?

Another week, another treatment. It's been rough lately. Hoping the springtime sun will help turn things around

Another Spravato treatment today. I had to miss Spravato last week and postpone my monthly ECT due to Covid. Thankfully, I made it through and now things are getting back on track. Hopefully ECT on Tuesday goes well. I wonder which socks I'll choose 🤔

First painting in my "Step Down" series. I paint each one when I get home from my ECT treatment. For my Step Down series, each treatment is gradually getting further and further apart, until I eventually reach my goal of monthly maintenance treatments
