Something’s not right

My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Did something happen today @Snowie ? Or is it just one of those day.

Did you get to go out anywhere today?

Re: My special place

Argh, fair enough @Snowie . Are you up to going for a little walk?

I was reading one of your posts about ECT and memory. That is definitely a huge issue for so many people. I've experienced what it is to completely lose my memory. I had to retrain myself to find ways to remember things. Now, I find my memory is somewhat even better than when I first began.

For example, I knew my memory was terrible so I invested time to teach myself to relearn things. I would compartmentalise numbers, names, events etc in order to learn them. When I was first beginning, I tried not to write things down.... later, I did end up writing notes because when I saw it on paper, it helped me to remember it.

So please just do what you need to. Weigh the pros and cons, then work with the cons so they become pros...

Re: My special place

In my pj's @tyme on the couch with the dog. So thankful for her.

Just going to write today off. I have tried to do some journalling and have tried eating (which is huge for me). Just over trying today.

I'm glad your memory is better than what it was. I know it does take time after ECT to relearn things. I just find that since ect is continuing for me, whatever I learn again I just forget afterwards. It is so frustrating.

Sitting with you.

Hugs @Eve7 @Snowie ,

If it does help, then maybe it's worth it? You have come so far. Yes, ECT does affect the memory, and I guess this is where it's about weighing it up.

It's okay if today's a write off. We all have those days sometimes.
