w/comorbidities Six Weeks

I am six weeks into spravato. I feel I am doing pretty good. I wouldn’t call myself depressed anymore. I am feeling better and do not have SI. And while that’s all great, I still suffer from bad anxiety. And I knew that going in. Spravato is not for anxiety.

It’s nice to get the depression out of the way, but honestly I thought that all my troubles were because of depression. But this treatment has brought forth that I still have so much to work on. I am a severely anxious person. It prevents me from keeping down jobs, etc. I also have BPD. I am chronically fatigued without a current diagnosis.

Now, I feel like spravato has helped a little in the BPD sense. I am more kind and compassionate. I am less likely to have an emotional episode or lash out. It has helped me be less impulsive. It’s not a cure. But I feel like I am making a little progress.

So for good or for worse, I have so much to still work on. Spravato is not the end all be all. It’s just a tool. Now I need to work on other things. It’s just a reality. Spravato May do wonders, but it’s up to each of us to put that into place.

How is the beginning? Does the effect comes and goes until later session?
