So sorry to hear your story. I am highly aware how mileage varies with all treatments.
You are alive. I am coming too close to not being that way.
There is a short list of meds I would like to try. The problem is that the last 6 or so I have tried actually made me worse, a lot worse, and fast. So yeah, there is a considerable amount of hopelessness. And a great deal of fear in popping a new pill when I'm already about to fall off the edge and every med I've tried in 2005 and 2006 has pushed me closer to that edge.
> yeah they put you in touch with ppl who done well on ect but they wont show you people like me. ECT RUINED my memory. 5 years later and I still feel like a ------- idiot. I cant remember what happened the day before and I forget things all the time. ECT was one of the biggest mistakes I ever did and I will always regret it. Try more meds or try meds that are in a catagory you never tried unless you feel it really is hopeless
