Hi. Just need some words of support. Still receiving ECT treatment 3x/week (today’s an “off” day) but this morning I must’ve cried for a solid hour because no one can give me any insight into how much longer I’ll need ECT, or even how different I’m supposed to feel. I can’t shake this thought that this is the end — that if this treatment doesn’t make a dent in my depression I might as well give up altogether. The psychiatrist said the longer I’ve been depressed the longer the ketamine-ECT combo may take, which is totally not encouraging bc I’ve been depressed as long as I can remember.

Hi sweetie - been thinking about you! I am so happy you are continuing with ECT although I understand the chaos it's causing to your psyche. My adoptive mother was bipolar and it helped - she became a fully functional person for many years. I'm here for support!

Prayers that sounds scary. I couldn’t even do the tms I was offered due to anxiety. I believe everyone is proud of you for trying to get better. May next year be great!
