- Yay for ECT!!!!! I had ECT #13 on Friday and just thought I'd tell you all that I'm feeling GREAT!!!! Aside from a headache every now and then and a little bit of memory loss, I just can't get over what a drastic change this has all been for me....

- So I went out last night. While I was out a Sheriff came over to my house. I'm assuming that he came to my house to serve me with papers due to some collection agency or something along those lines. My question is this: Since the only income I...
- I went to the tdoc today and spent the whole time talking about something I wrote in a journal. I pretty much wrote how I get annoyed if people tell me that I'm attractive....and how, speaking generally, I don't have the time or energy to deal with...
- Ok....so I've had 8 ECT treatments. I'm only scheduled for 9 (so far)...but I'm pretty sure they're going to add another 3 on. I'm feeling MUCH better.... if you asked any of my friends, they would tell you the same. I'm able to find humor in...
- They say that I should start to feel a little better after treatment # 6. I really hope that's true. The actual treatment isn't bad. I go in, they place an IV, then they take me into the treatment room. They put a bunch of electrodes on my...
- Here it is, Sunday....and I would very much like to be having some sort of meaningful conversation. I spent probably about 2+ hours on skype this morning and for over an hour nothing was said. I kept trying to get the conversation going, but I...
- Over the past few months, I've been on a downward spiral. In July I moved out of my own 3 bedroom apartment. I traveled to Pennsylvania and NY for a couple of weeks. I returned to Maine and within a week decided to move to NY. I lived there for...
- One full week of ECT done. At least 2 weeks to go. Today wasn't any different than the other 2 that I had. I had my IV placed and was brought immediately into the treatment room. The pdoc told me that I was having "good seizures".I remember...
- I was the first patient in for ECT this morning. I remember having my IV placed, addressing the muscle pain I've been experiencing, they put a pain med in my IV and I remember starting to fall asleep. I woke up in a big haze....felt like I was...
- I had my first ECT yesterday. After all I'd heard about it before actually having it....i thought I'd wake up and not know where I was or why I was there. They told me that I'd wake up confused.I remember going in, getting my IV placed....and...
- Do you know how frustrating it is to spend an hour on writing a thread and your stupid laptop just decides on it's own that it wants to refresh and erase everything that you wrote? For the first time in a month, I've decided to come out and ask for...
- I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how I was supposed to start my ECT on Weds, 10/19. Of course, that's what the docs told me when they released me from the hospital, but they decided to make me jump through a bunch of hoops to get the ECT...
- If anyone knows anything or has experienced ECT, please tell me (good or bad) anything about it. Well wishes, hugs, votes of confidence....anything is appreciated.thank you.~Hanna
- I posted yesterday that I stopped my meds....all except for my xanax (which requires me to step down quite a bit slower than the rest). I haven't even felt like I need any meds. I just feel ANTSY ANTSY ANTSY!!!!!Is this what life is like when you...
