@outlander sorry to hear things are still rough hun.

Hoping the rest of the day gets a little better for you.

Love and hugs sweetheart.

@Shaz51 hi hon 💕

@Eve7 no matter what we do, some people will never understand what we go through each day to try and make a difference in our lives. I am in your corner hun, I know how hard doing ECT is and how hard trying to deal with those people are. Lots of love and hugs hon 💟

Hi @Maggie thanks for the tag

How are you going?

In response to: Re: not coping

Re: not coping

@Snowie It’s been an awful week. But I think I’ve made some headway today, like a shower and washed up. Every little bit helps.

How are you doing. ..?. The memory loss after ECT is really hard. I have never retrieved some of mine. You take care of you, you deserve that. 💙💙💙

Re: not coping

Sorry to hear it has been a dreadful week @Maggie Well done on having a shower and washing up, those things can be such a big task when things are not going so well.

I am washing my sheets today, that is a big accomplishment for me today.

Thanks for understanding the loss of memory. It is easier to talk to someone who has had ect. I think there are parts that I will never get back.

Re: not coping

Well done @Snowie . I love clean sheets. Maybe tomorrow here.

My ECT has left some funny things. Apparently I knitted two beautiful baby cardigans for one of my nieces. They have shown me pics, but that hasn’t rung any bells either. Lol. 🤣🤣🤣 But I do have DID also, it’s a muddle.

You are amazing being here, doing what you are doing, and going through that. 👍👍

Re: not coping

I dont think they were washed at all whilst I was in hospital so well overdue for a clean set.🤔

I have both my kids b'days coming up and I started shopping for them before I had ECT round 2. Cannot remember buying them their presents!! I had to ask H were the bigw I go to was. I forgot where it was located 😒

I am sure your niece appreciated the cardigans even if you cannot remember them and glad you can see the funny side.

I think you are pretty amazing too sweetheart 💟

thanks @Snowie @Maggie @Shaz51 @Eve7 @NatureLover @Lee82

have been resting and minimal screens etc just had abit of tv on but quiet so im not hearing the clocks constantly. headache isnt curbing at all. took 2 strong pain relief but it hasnt done anything. seems as soon as i move (including just having a few sips of tea) it worsens the headache. too nauseous to try and attempt anything besides water/tea atm.

i dont think the dr can do much more for me though at this point.
