Re: A Life of Trauma and Tragedy (Possibly Triggering Content)

My day was ok @WIP 

Had ECT this morning so that takes up most of the day.

 

How are you going tonight?

Re: A Life of Trauma and Tragedy (Possibly Triggering Content)

Oh, I didn't realise you were doing ECT as an outpatient.  Hope you are feeling ok today after the procedure? @Snowie 

 

I'm so so tonight - been another tough day. I don't sleep well at all, so the days are a struggle too.

How does ECT affect you? How often do you have it? Does it help?

Re: A Life of Trauma and Tragedy (Possibly Triggering Content)

@WIP I've done ECT as an inpatient before. It goes quicker but then I am away from my kids. So this is easier and better for everyone, just takes a lot longer.

 

Sorry to hear it has been a tough day and you didn't get much sleep last night. Hoping you get some better sleep tonight and tomorrow is a little better for you.

Hi @Former-Member 

I have ECT once per week, every Friday. I have got 12 sessions this time and have done about 5 so far. I do it as an outpatient this time. I have done it as an inpatient before but it is easier on my kids and husband if I do it this way. This is about the 3rd lot of treatment I have had.

It helps with my depression. It is not something that is a magic cure, but I feel that it does help.

 

Some side effects I have are short term memory loss, headaches and muscle pain. They are not bad side effects or effect me greatly so can deal with them easily.

glad you have the option to do it as an outpatient @Snowie
