in short, no because i do not consider myself depressed and when i was i didnt take ketamine. depressed (really truly seriously depressed) people become bereft of emotion and can not feel pleasure from any thing. i have been in that state only twice before. my problem (initialy) was depression, anxiety, depersonalisation and psychosis after a nervous breakdown.

now my main ‘illness’ is entirely different. i was thought to have bipolar (i dont and never believed i did), it was even suggested to be schizophrenia and another time multi personalities but its more something like D.I.D. but, again, thats not a bluprint for my mind. i dont really believe in trying to diagnose myself because essentially i am just a me

i cant help you on the subject of k and depression but for me and my issues it is like magic. i am essential a fragmented self with many many fragments. some of them have identifiable personalities, some of them are just echos and one is what i call a resident (he is a complete personality that i dont feel is part of me but he resides in my head. ultimately i know he is a part of me but this is not what it feels like). in a sober state i have a LOT of head noise and it feels a small room thats been packed with a million people that are all arguing and fighting. on k they essentially become unified. mentally i picture it as me as my core self with the fragmented others circled around me and we can talk together with one another rather then at one another. i can access how each one is feeling and observe it objectively. this helps us work together instead of fighting each other. the only time i feel something similar in the respect of being unified (altho the experience is entirely different) is when i am dreaming

hope that helped
