Not Coping

I'm glad you were able to be open with your family @Birdofparadise8 . That's important.

I'm sorry you feel hospital didn't really help. At least you gave it a try.

As for falling when you go home, I observe that you often think about your fall or downward spiral. Do you think that adds to the 'fall'?

Sitting with you @Birdofparadise8 ❤️

Yes it’s been good to be open with them @tyme.

Mmm yes it didn’t they said after three months and another med added I might need to try ECT which is a bit scary I don’t want to lose my short term memory. I’ll wait a few months and see. I need to see wait and see my psychiatrist in August and I see my GP when I come back to Vic.

Hey @Bow did you lose any memory from ECT.

Thank you @Shaz51

I was just about to ask you to ask @Bow for their ECT experience, @Birdofparadise8 .

I hope you can manage without having ECT.

Yes so do I @tyme.

It would be a long inpatient stay and I’m not sure I could cope being in hospital that long.

The doctor said if I don’t have any relief from this round of TMS there is no point doing it again.

From what I remember, ECT is more for long standing depression etc... in terms of years.

I'm not sure they would want to do it for you right now. Whatever it is, let's take each moment at a time.

Just focus on the now and enjoy your time with your family. @Birdofparadise8

I think so to I’ll be advised by my doc and psychiatrist.

Yes the wedding is tomorrow very exciting.

Annoying my dress was a bit small and I had to race into town to get something in a mad rush, but all is good now.

Let’s chat more when you’re free next @tyme

I’m getting my hair done for the wedding I’m thinking of going with curls.

How are you @tyme @Bow?

Hey @Birdofparadise8 @tyme

Think you might be at the wedding by now @Birdofparadise8 and having a good time! Curls are always nice.

ECT is usually a last resort to long term depression. They will want to try you on a variety of different antidepressants first.
I don’t think I’ve had memory issues this time around.
