Okay, another update.

I started a new therapy: psychoanalysis / depth psychology.
It’s really heavy and as always things get worse before they get better and I’m in that phase right now.
I had planned to start a few new therapies, but it didn’t all work out. One group is already finished, another never started and I’m still on a waiting list for ketamine therapy.
That’s where you get a party drug as a spray in your nose and then you should feel much better for a long time.
I’m still not able to work and my money is all out now. So I couldn’t afford more therapy anyway.
But I’m active with a club I co-founded about the fediverse. So at least I’m doing a little bit and I’m not always just laying in my bed or on my couch doing nothing.

Anyway my future is very unclear at the moment. :frowning:

I guess I’ve said it internally elsewhere already, but also here:
It’s been a pleasure collaborating with you recently. Looking forward to continue. :slight_smile:

Hi Paula, schön von dir zu hören und auch wenn es sich bestimmt nicht immer so anfühlt, lese ich hier viel Positivität und wie schön, dass eine neue Therapie scheinbar nochmal neue Impulse setzen kann. Ich wünsche dir, dass die anderen Umstände, die aus deiner Krankheit resultieren, nicht zu viel Kraft kosten und du eine Lösung findest bzw bon mir sicher es gibt eine Lösung.

Ketamin Therapie klingt sehr spannend, wusste gar nicht, dass es da Studien gibt, bin allerdings gerade heute über einen Podcast gestolpert der Partydrogen zur Therapie thematisiert. Da werde ich gleich mal reinhören.

Es ist gut zu lesen, dass Du positiv eingestellt sind. Und dass Du Ihre Energie für die Gesellschaft einsetzen können. Sinnvoll zu sein, gibt dem Tag das gewisse Extra.

Finally some good news! :slight_smile:

I think my depression is starting to fade away. :tada:
I’m still out of money and probably won’t be able to work anytime soon, but at least I’m not feeling that bad anymore. It kind of just made click a few weeks ago.
Guess I won’t need the ketamine therapy after all.
