Thanks for the kind words. I only have a consult, I am not sure I am a candidate. I am less suicidally depressed now that I have ect as an option! So, if I am no longer suicidal to I qualify? Strange, huh?
I also keep going thru the days, dragging and depressed, but wondering will i remember the people on PB or will I remember my neighbors face or what I said to someone last week. It is rather unnerving. But if it really helped my mood disorder I would be forever grateful.Decisions, decisions...
BTW, why are you not considering ect now if you are having such trouble with meds?Chloe
