Re: Tw Not Coping
It’s so weird how my hand moves each time.
How did you find ECT? Did you have to be put to sleep for it @Bow?

Re: Tw Not Coping
Hey @tyme
I think I’ve just fucked up.
My mum thinks I’m at work
I just called my gran because I’m on a walk and told her I’m not working today.
Im not sure what to do now. If I should tell my gran that I’m in hospital so she doesn’t tell my mum she talked to me about me going for a walk when I’m supposed to be a work.

Re: Tw Not Coping
@Birdofparadise8 I seen a brief video of a TSM treatment the other day and yes, I seen how it makes your hand move.
you are given a general anaesthetic with ECT. It’s all very quick. You’re only under anaesthetic for a few minutes. I looked at the clock for one of my treatments and I was in, put under, given the treatment, taken into recovery and then taken back to my room all in about 30 minutes. The first few were in and out really quick. The last three got to stay in recovery for longer cause they had 3 beds in recovery and seperate nurses to care for them. Everyone else was taken back to their room and a nurse would come in every 30mins to check our vitals.
being put to sleep 3 times a week was full on. It washed me out for the whole day. I kinda looked forward to the weekend cause it was a couple of days off.
how do they do TSM?

Re: Tw Not Coping
That sounds like a lot to go through @Bow.
Can I ask do you have depression as well as your eating disorder?
TMS is just a coil on your head and it stimulates your brain and it take 25 min and you don’t get put to sleep.

Re: Tw Not Coping
Oh okay I’ve never experienced that before @creative_writer.
Can you look at my previous post about my mum and gran.

Re: Tw Not Coping
I understand why you feel worried, what you tell your mum is ultimately up to you. The end of the day you are her daughter and she loves and cares about you. My parents were aware of every trip I had to the emergency for mental health, even when they weren’t here in Melbourne.

Re: Tw Not Coping
Do your parents support you with your mental health @creative_writer?
Okay, I'm unsure what to say as I don't experience it, sorry.
