It’s so cute seeing my cybertruck on a date

It’s been 8 days since I started ketamine for treatment-resistant depression and it’s been pretty amazing.

My creative spark is back. I don’t douse myself in self-hatred as much.

Ketamine invites your brain to go down a different neurological pathway and it’s been absolutely astonishing to me.

I’ve done other psychedelic experiences many times in my life but this feels different. This is gentler and invites you to be kinder to yourself.

The data shows that you see the real results show up in 30-60 days. So I’m hopeful given the preliminary results!

Canine energy is the purest form of love that we all really need in our lives!
