The issue I have is that you're going physio coach on a thread for applying ketamine to mental health. It's the same issue I would have if a ketamine advocate walked into a gym and started pointing out all the silly variations on running in circles.
You might have valid points, but the context you're presenting them in renders them proselytic.
Thanks, this is a valid argument that you are getting at.
I agree i might have bumbed this thread a bit off topic with my comments.
However i did it for a reason.
I enjoyed the report of self medication experiments that the op shared alot.
But after reading a few posts i started to see a pattern i often find in these threads.
Its basicly people sharing their drug abuse disguisded as some kind of anti depression self medication routine.
Im no stranger to dissios and have battled some semi abuse issues when i was battling chronic back pain.
Where i agree that extreme situations can require medicinal interventions, its still just a symptom blocker.
Doing ketamine or any drug will never fix your underlying issues.
It will always fall on oneself to take care of whatever is causing pain or anxiety.
I also know that emotions can be extremely hard to understand and most people have no idea why they are in pain or cant get anything done because of crippling anxiety.
I know cause ive been there and know many others who currently are.
So yeah i felt the need to share some common sense, since it aint so common anymore.
Most people are very weak and uhealthy, they lack the most basic understanding of what is good for you.
So if even one person gets their ass off the couch and starts to trying to take control of their situation then its worth whatever butthurt im causing with my posts.
I know since the easy way is to try to live with the pain and just manage it with various drugs etc.
But i have never seen anyone truly get well from only doing that.
Even if its natural things like ayahuasca or mushrooms.
They can only give you a path to walk, im not saying everyone should strive to be a world class powerlifter or even have to go to a gym.
But we are made to move around and experience a plethora of complex movements.
That is what our brain has evolved to do for many thousands of years.
Its basicly the last 100years or less that our society has created this artificial system where the most successfull people are sitting all day in front of a desk.
We didnt need to train before since life required alot from out bodies to survive.
