Back from ECT and Hospitalization
I'm back from a week of hospitalization (my fourth in the past two months) and two Electro-Convulsive Therapy (ECT) sessions. ECT uses electricity to create convulsion in the body with the charge past through the skull. It is old school shock therapy.
Going back in tomorrow for #3 out of what will probably 20-30 events in total.
On my first ECT, about two hours after the shocking, I hade a made mania event. I threatened everyone on the floor and my wife was turned away because they they thought that I was too violent. I do not even remember anything of that day.
in the body. The electricity is placed on the shocking

Switch to decaf...no seriously. sorry.
I never had shock treatment.
The controlled electricity is used to create a Seizure in the Brain that targets specific area's to hopefully get the BiPolar Depression back to Medication Reactive.
And Chris...don't joke about this....it's not even slightly funny and totally inappropriate.
Thor hopefully you'll see some improvement from this soon.
Sorry I slipped up, I did not mean to make light of Thors situtation.
Honest Injun.
Normally I am on my Ps and Qs......
Joking however has gotten me through lots in my life..thats why I joke. If I am not joking or am being sarcastic. I would have not been six foot above anymore. Joking makes me not want to tear my eyes and teeth out.
Just let it go Chris.
I sleep fairly well at night.
I let people in my lane now, so not a problem.
Then again, I stay in my own lane....and am left to my own devices.
Glad for the update.
And hope that you're seeing some results soon.
I was not offended. It takes some humor to wrap your mind around doing this.
I got lots of humor. I should have been a comedian.
