Little Worth

I know all (or most) moms feel they aren't doing a good job.  It is a normal feeling.  I just KNOW I'm not doing a good job. 
My kids aren't supposed to call or text me when they need something and Daddy is in town, working from home (which is always right now.) The kids can't help themselves though.  I go get groceries and they want to come with.  I go get medications and they want to come with.  On the occasion that two are out playing with friends, the third is content to read and let me go, as Daddy is here if he needs him.  The second a kid gets home though, or a kid with the "emergency only cell phone" is out and bored, I get calls and texts that they need me.  Where am I?
Today I tried to go fishing.  Take a break alone.  It was my husband's idea from my need to have breaks.  I wasn't gone two hours when kids were calling and texting me, and Dad wasn't 100 yards away!
I feel like a failure that this is overwhelming me though. Kids need their moms. My kids need their mom extra super duper much, like almost always.  And I can't handle that pressure anymore now that my brain is fried. And I am feeling I'm an awful failure at being a mom. It sucks.

K Journey Update!

People often ask me about my ketamine experience - especially since I’ve been doing it since the early days, before most clinics had protocols for mental health. So I wanted to share my journey: the awkward beginnings, the hope, the setbacks, and the healing. I’m an almost-50-yr-old mom to three adults, and have had PTSD since childhood, anxiety and depression since early childhood, but received no diagnoses until I was 30. I’ve been in therapy since my diagnoses. Ive been inpatient 10x (2007-2015), I’ve tried over 40 medications, many natural remedies, a healthier body, ECT shock therapy, TMS, genetic testing, and have been to Cleveland Clinic and Mayo Clinic for my mental health. NOTHING helped until I tried Ketamine. I heard about it in 2015 and knew I wanted to try it. Unfortunately there were no clinics near me then, and the cost was $1500 per IV session. Not doable. I waited until 2017 when my pain clinic offered it, then at $350 a session no more insurance coverages. In 2020 my ...

Sleep vastly improved!

I can now stay up most nights until 9 and wake up at 7 feeling refreshed! This is HUGE! I still don’t do much during the day due to pain, but I feel hope inside and not constantly covered by a cloud of depression. I feel some anxiety that the treatment isn’t going to help the pain (maybe it is an underlying condition that a dr needs to get on top of? Or maybe I am just too sensitive?) But my anxiety is down to like a 3 from a 8-9 which is wonderful and my depression is down to zero from an 8-9. Thank you God! Thanks Nick for sticking with me and not giving up. I feel like I’m getting my life back! I’m still hoping to figure out this hand tingling and pain (again maybe pinched nerves in my neck too which we know are there, I’ve had hand tingling on and off for years this is just worse the last few days and I don’t know why, ketamine should decrease not increase pain.) I’m such an odd duck. 🤦‍♀️
