Said she felt better than she had in many years. This was the day after.
For the rest of the day after her first infusion, she reported having the worst mood swings of her life (that's saying something) and being really tired.
But the next day was completely different. A dark or anxious thought would surface and she could notice it and also notice other thoughts and choose to think about other things. She had a good day at work and she was able to experience that as a positive, real thing, not just a one-off with impending doom just around the corner.
I haven't felt hopeful for her in so long. She's been struggling with depression for at least 8 years.
I'm scared to have hope, so many other things haven't helped. But I think I have hope.
My 18 yo starts next week. His situation is more complex but I'm still hopeful.
I can't imagine what this road feels like for a parent, you're a legend.
It's alright to have doubts, but the deflection of dark thoughts, that small buffer you begin to build upon, is a huge step, shows it's working.
It's just the first session, there is a lot of digging that will be done as the sessions grow more in dosage, so remind her to keep up with that post session maintenance and mindfulness
Glad all is working and you both had a good day
