    Other Aspergers... sigh...

    This is old, but I am glad I found it because I went looking for your ketamine journey thread (couldn’t find it) and stumbled across a post that made me want to ask if you’re an aspie. Luckily instead of derailing my search, I kept going and found this. Your post was about how you have been...

    Anyone try Ketamine assisted therapy with PTSD & ADHD?

    I guess I should mention that the benefits for me were subtle. It wasn’t like I’ve read in other places where people magically feel happy after one session of Spravsto. *I didn’t do Spravato, I did sublingual troches (waxy squares that melt). It helped with my compulsive behavior (not being so...

    Anyone try Ketamine assisted therapy with PTSD & ADHD?

    Yes. I have cptsd, Asperger’s, and adhd. It has been helpful. Your state of mind when you go into your treatments and what you listen to while you’re there is really what drives the experience. But it’s the experience you have while you’re there that is supposed to benefit you (although it does...

    Does your psychiatrist actually do anything other than shove various medications at you?

    From my experience, I think most of them only do medication management. I had 3, and they all basically just either recommend meds or let me tell them what meds I need or want to try. Appointments are only 15 mins (even though I always keep them on longer), and they really are just wanting...

    Sufferer How to not have a victim mentality

    Hi. Ok, so it sounds like you had to ‘actually’ disconnect from them as in having to explain why you didn’t want them to contact you anymore. I probably said that wrong, but I guess it stuck with me because I think the difference for me is that my family doesn’t actually ‘want’ to have anything...

    Sufferer How to not have a victim mentality

    I shouldn’t have read this because now I want to reply, but I am getting delirious as it is at least two hours past my usual bedtime. I will come back tomorrow. I’m sorry you had a rough week 😣. I know that feeling all too well. I am glad you have found the support you need in Jesus. Rest well...

    Sufferer How to not have a victim mentality

    Hi. I am just now seeing this. Still learning how to navigate here. Wow, yes. Very similar lives. And I was put back into the system around 14? So yeah, many different foster homes as well. *even though they were still my parents and I’d still would try to go ‘home’. Yeah, I don’t think my...

    Sufferer How to not have a victim mentality

    I really wish the ‘love’ icon was just a heart because the big smiley face just doesn’t feel right to me (in terms of wanting to ‘love’ certain posts). But anyway, thank you so much for this. How exactly did you disconnect? Because I have been seriously considering changing my name for this...

    What does Closure mean?

    I agree with this. Making peace with it would be the most definitive answer. But the things we all feel like we need in order for that to happen will vary. In your case, you say you didn’t get what you thought you needed but were able to make peace with it anyway. But at the same time you say...

    What does Closure mean?

    I think of closure in comparison to various situations . Like…a break-up where you feel like you need to know ‘why’. Or parents of a missing child who are tormented by not knowing what happened and/or who took them and if their child is still alive. I think it’s the relief from the torment of...

    Sufferer How to not have a victim mentality

    Hi. Thank you for the welcome message. I have not read this book, but it’s on my list now. Thanks so much, I will check it out. That specific bullet you replied to about me being a problem since the moment I was conceived is something my biological mother said to me after I found her (in my...

    Sufferer How to not have a victim mentality

    I am currently reading The Body Keeps the Score (only about a quarter of the way through). Hoping I can find some answers and possibly some workable way to start healing . Last year, I read Oprah Winfreys ‘What Happened to You’ with Dr Perry (I think). And that was a good read in terms of just...
