It's hard to answer what a definitive end point for that was, but it felt like a long, slow crawl back out of a hole. In some ways, I still face some of those challenges, though I don't think I'm depressed right now. But I think there was a real reckoning with some of my worldviews and values where some of the ways that I understood myself felt like I hit a dead end.

And it's an uncomfortable shift to find new ways to see the world, new ways to find oneself.

Yeah, I did. I started seeing a therapist. I saw a psychiatrist and was prescribed antidepressants. I was really only on them for a few months. and then weaned off of them and had begun building some self-care routines and structure into my life that seemed to support me better than those drugs did.

It wasn't that I didn't like them. It was just like it didn't feel like a solution. It just felt like a Band-Aid of like this is absolutely helping, but this is like palatative. This isn't. something that's offering me a new way to move to the world. And being on antidepressants for life didn't seem like something that I wanted. But I do think they really supported me in

an awful lot of journaling and reflection and contemplation and starting a personal meditation practice. I've attended meditation retreats and some spiritual retreats and like engaged with the things that would have seemed very woo to me prior to my injury.

the only lens that I view the world through, but maybe there's some real value in having a sense of spirituality, of having a place for mysticism, of seeing the world in a way that's a little bit more alive than a really rationalist viewpoint might describe it.

I feel like I sort of had a fitful start, like my body's reaction to that ayahuasca. I didn't feel like I experienced a physical recovery from those ceremonies. The first night I came in with some jittery nerves and an awful lot of hopes and expectations and apprehensions, and nothing happened for me. And that felt frustrating and a bit alienating.
