I realized this morning laying in bed that I have only been home SEVEN of the 31 days that make up the month of October! ONLY SEVEN! Pretty wild for someone who is almost ALWAYS at home laying on the couch or in bed and especially wild for someone who sometimes doesn’t leave her house for 2… Continue reading Duality: 23 days of October.
Well unfortunately the incredible high of last week’s ketamine infusion has come crashing down in a most spectacular form.

Close to midnight tonight I will turn 33. Its kind of crazy to think another year of my life has passed. Like New Years, I think a lot of us sit down and think about the past 365 days. The trials and the triumphs, stuff we wish had been better, and stuff we are grateful wasn’t… Continue reading the year i broke open (32)
Hey friends. If you follow me on instagram, fb, or have been reading my blog in the past month you may know that my 2nd ketamine infusion was VERY different than my 1rst ketamine infusion both in my experience at the hospital AND afterwards.
