Although I had a positive experience with ECT, it seems to only work when I am "major messed/depressed". But that's just me.
I did have a serious out-of-the-blue extreme anxiety episode for a few months & went to the hospital. My dr. said ect could still work for anxiety. But I only did a couple - I had too much anxiety about ECT (before I wasn't as nervous).I feel the same way you are. I don't have it to the point where I would just grab a bottle of pills, but I can't continue. I read my journal going back so many years and I have never wanted to live.
I'm sorry for your pain as well.
