I've been in the hospital for ECT. then my mom came for more of my outpatient treatments. none of the meds work anymore. I left my pdoc because my insurance is changing next year. the new pdoc I see on jan 17th. So right now I see a counselor, I have Ativan and restoril. I'm not eating or drinking very much. I cry a lot about things I see on the internet. I thought I was doing good after the five ECT treatments. But I'm not very healthy. All I want to do is sleep and talk to people. I think I might call the hospitalist who was doing my ECT. Guess I just needed to tell ya'll how I was.

Yes, hang in there. If viewing things online bothers you then you can stop that. By all means take care of yourself.

thanks. I got very sick for two days with ECT side effects. but, I'm doing much better tonight after seeing my GP. he didn't even use medication to fix me. he rocks! my appetite is still mostly gone, but I can consume enough not to end up in the ER again.

Hang in there, after the rain is usually a rainbow. Sometimes it just rains and rains and pours though! Big Hugs!
