The decision happened fast, almost too fast. One moment I was asking for help, the next I was scheduled for my first consultation. Within days, I was sitting in front of a psychiatrist, being told that after 30 years of living with severe PTSD, I finally qualified for a therapy that might reach where nothing else had: MDMA-assisted psychotherapy.
Between urgency and hesitation, fear and fragile hope, I stepped into a process that promised something I had almost stopped believing in, relief. What followed was not just a treatment plan, but the beginning of a confrontation with a past that had never truly let me go.
This is the story of what it means to seek healing when time feels like it's running out, and what happens when science and vulnerability meet at the edge of trauma.
