Hi Chloe,
Excuse my self-pitying rant yesterday!!!
It's true,the (wrong) meds have chewed up two years or so of my life, and I did spend some 14 months or so as a suicidal wreck. Hindsight is a great vantage point from which to hand down unheard pronouncments to my former 'self'.What I mean , regarding ECT,is that should I ever relapse to that awful state again (or even find myself ANYWHERE near sliding that far)I will without doubt sign up for ECT.I wish I'd have had the option over a year ago.It's not readily availible here in the UK, except in extreme cases so I believe;it was never mentioned as an option for me previously.But I have no fear of it.
Now, I really should be grateful that I'm no longer suicidal- just angry really.I tend to forget how ill I was, and how well I'm doing by comparison(now I just feel like crap)!
But in my boots right now, anyone would.Keep grinning,
Col. (still no zzzzzzzzzz's)
