I’m going in an inpatient program for maybe three weeks before I go to an outpatient program and live in an apartment with someone to help get back on my feet. On August 20th I was in a near fatal car accident on the way to work, I lost my car and my job all in the same week. I’ve been so depressed I would go a whole week at times without taking a shower or doing anything and then starting abusing stimulants again for the dopamine, it’s been a toxic cycle but I’m ready for it to be over and even though I’m scared I’m also excited to get my life back.

I am going to be doing ECT soon, maybe next week, hopefully. I‘ve tried Ketamine, TMS, 15-20 medications, DBT, CBT (continuous), daily vitamins (omega 3, vitamin D, B6, B12, methylfolate), mushrooms, and am trying to change my diet as I have a moderate to serious binge eating disorder.
I might make this a diary of my experience with ECT.
So today (and yesterday and the day before), I feel and have felt empty and fatigued and unmotivated and weepy and dizzy and sad. I hope this is temporary.

Hello to anyone interested, today I had my 27th session of bilateral ECT and I wanted to update anyone who’s curious- combined with some medication adjustments, ECT has been life-saving treatment for me 🩷
After taking a 3 month medical leave from work, I’m back in the office and quickly relearning my job from the memory loss lol
The memory loss hasn’t been as troubling as I had expected, and I’m finding that my memories are coming back gradually as I space out treatments.
I’ll make another post with a detailed description of what each treatment is like.
Please reach out if you have ANY questions or hesitations about ECT. It changed my life and gave me a fresh start that I really needed.

every body and mind is different but from maybe 16-22 I had been taking a myriad of prescriptions for my mental health while I balanced school. Had felt incredibly emotionally stunted and unfeeling or impulsive while taking several kinds of medications and got worse, was unreceptive to any therapeutic help during life stresses and landed in hospitals multiple times. Making any kind of change to a poly pharmacy routine is … risky
In the middle of the onset of COVID lockdowns I weaned myself off meds with my doctors assistance and did very intensive psychotherapy, got more active and got a job that I enjoyed. Experienced very deep personal losses in friend and family as well as relationships. I teetered on the edge so many times, but I do not regret any decision I’ve ever made because I have the tools and willpower to take over any conflict and talk myself through it
Again every one is different but if you feel like something isn’t working for you, take charge over what you can do for your own mental wellbeing
