I spent fifteen years trying to outrun depression. Six different medications, three therapists, and more "just give it time" than I can count. By the time I found Claritiv, I wasn't hopeful. I was desperate. After my third treatment, I woke up and the fog was just gone. I made breakfast for my kids. I hadn't done that in months. That's when I knew something had actually changed.
I'm a veteran. I don't talk about what I carry. That's just not how I was built. But my wife could see it. She booked the consultation without telling me. I was skeptical, honestly bordering on hostile about the whole thing. By session two, she said she could see the difference in my eyes. By session four, I could feel it. For the first time in years, I slept through the night.
Anxiety stole my motherhood from me. My kids were right there, laughing, playing, needing me, and I couldn't reach them through the wall of dread. I tried everything my doctor suggested. Nothing worked long enough to matter. After my ketamine series, I caught myself on the floor playing trucks with my four-year-old, laughing. Actually laughing. I didn't even realize I'd stopped.
