Offset Lost Work
Donation protected
Hey folks!
So, as I've mentioned, I'm currently participating in a clinical trial for esketamine in hopes of breaking this now 9 month cycle of severe depression. While I am fortunate in that I receive a $75 stipend per visit and the medication is covered, this is causing pretty significant disruption to my work life. I have to spend 4+ hours twice a week at the research center, which will continue for 7 more weeks, and then I drop down to once a week. I've been able to keep working through the depression, but losing what is functionally an entire day of work each week has taken a financial toll I'm finding difficult to sustain.
