ECT ? Anyone ?

I’ve done TMS and ketamine infusions ! Obv ketamine was way more fun hah.
I didn’t recognize one ounce of difference with TMS. I def noticed a difference with ketamine, but it didn’t stick. The sessions themselves were relieving. I did the intense route where u go frequently for a few weeks and i can recall coming home one day and calling my friends saying meet me out... i wanna go out after a year of staying home. But that faded and the depression came back. I tried ketamine for this depression too and it didn’t work for me. It’s all a guessing game and combo of meds , plus i got a new therapist and doctor. So i don’t know. I said ECT is the only thing i haven’t tried so I’m gunna try it. I’ll how i wake up tomorrow

Excellent. Your sympotoms are par for the course...me the sore head but by the third...easy. Tms is junk. Designed for the rich in private psych hospitals. As useful as tits on a bull.😀 and expensive.

Your progreaa is awesone...i was indeed longer...however the constant improvements are truelt validated in scientific and medical journals.

Keep strong...proud of ya. HT

Sounds like there could be more positives going on for you. I am happy for that.

Keep taking things one day at a time and remain positive.

Hugs, Karen...

Med combo. Therapy. Psychosocial rehab program.
No maintenance. I will rust in peace! 😉 HT

I always chuckle a bit at ur replies HT.

Completed round three of ECT today. Still cried a bit afterwards but not as much as last time and it’s def involuntarily, cause I’m not thinking much. I slept when i came home and def started to realize how much i don’t really like living where I’m living. I’m doing it for finances and to be close to family but i wonder how long till I’m ready to get a place of my own again. I stare at The disorganization and it bothers me still. I hope one day i get the energy to do something about it. I’d love to do it without family help.
I did realize this is making me wanna chat with friends a bit more, i guess maybe since i have something to actually talk about. That part seems hopeful”ish. Still have a bunch more treatments to go and praying the smidges of betterness grow n grow. Drs said it’ll fade in and out until more treatments are under my belt. So i can do that. Thanks for letting me vent. My memory is getting shotty so I’m glad i have one spot where I’m writing stuff. Hope everyone has an okay day!

Hi hi karen, i know the timing will come when I’ll start looking for a new place, just gotta wait this out a bit. I’m back in my ol child neighborhood, so it’s just like..... weird. Hah. I did just take a long long walk which i haven’t done in months. So there’s stuff happening. And I’m actually texting with friends today so that feels good too.
I just have to figure out ways to occupy my time
Besides watching tv cause it’s just
Not doing it for me anymore. It was a nice day here and looking at the neighborhood as an adult rather then as a kid, was kinda interesting i guess.
It’s cool to see some yearning inside of me, rather then drab. I wonder what’ll happen next...
be well all.

Keep strong. I chuckle with the funny ones i post. Emails are funnier!!!

Like i said to a mate...a true metallica fan....ride the lightning....i have done. Ya doing good...and yes keep brain active....it is imperative after a course. HT

Well i still have a lot more treatments to go. I appreciate the support !

I feel like i do pre- depression mode where nothing is motivating or entertaining, im kinda just blahhh.

Not really ready to hang with friends yet, still get a tad too anxious.

Oranged, how is it going now?

Just wondering...

Hugs, Karen...
