Many close to me know that I've battled depression for years.
Though the most turbulent times of my life are growing distant, the depression that accompanied them has lingered. I've finally reached a point in my life where I'm mentally "stable," but I'm continuing to just survive. My body has learned to shut down all emotions to protect me from the worst of them and it has left me hollow, without motivation, and chronically overwhelmed by the raging river of trapped feelings inside me that I have no way to release. Various therapies and medications have helped me get to this level of stability, but they are not breaking through the wall my body puts up that prevents me from connecting to my life, good and bad.
My therapist has long recommended I try newer options for depression, but newer treatments are generally not covered by insurance and I am not someone who has thousands of dollars to spare. Psychedelic therapy is something that, in its roots, is centuries old, but has only recently become somewhat (legally) available here in any form. There are many recent studies showing promise for various options, but they're becoming available very slowly and at a high price.
In the last few months, my stress levels have been out of control and my therapist has been begging me to take some time to process, heal, and rest. It is clear that I need some dedicated time to open up the boxes I've compartmentalized for so long and finally process them out so I won't have to carry them around with me anymore, and my team thinks Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy is the missing piece I've been searching for.
I need your help to make this happen.
I've been given a Good Faith Estimate of my treatment costs, quoting me a range from $5,500 to $30,000. I have some money set aside, so I am asking for help with $10k here to cover the remainder of what I think/hope my treatment plan will add up to as well as any supplies I may need to buy, traveling expenses, and lost wages for the time off work. If I am lucky enough to have money left over, it will be used for maintenance treatments and living expenses.
Any assistance would be so appreciated.
I struggle to ask for help when I need it, so thank you for taking the time to read this and thank you so much for donating!
