got it scott.

thanks.

just a thought, idea, maybe even a general suggestion...

disclaimer first! ;) i guess i got/get defensive about ect 'horror stories.' i saw people who got them regularly and function at a very high level. and, i truly believe i suffered no long-term effects. it just didn't work for me as i said.

i am also not promoting ect.

psychobabble is an interesting place to say the least. i look at old posts from years ago and the place seemed so much more hopeful then. now, it has changed. i don't need to express my multiple reasons why i think it has. this has been discussed at length by others to the nth degree already.

i guess my point with your thread is it seems pessimistic before a person has a chance to even reply. again; i am probably extra-sensitive due to your wording of your initial post.

psychobabble can be very toxic. it is becoming in some ways a very triggering and negative place. not one of hope, education, and experiences; both good and bad.

some of us our fighting for our lives. i could only imagine a newly diagnosed person coming here, or a person who has been recommended ect for example coming across this thread. i feel it is a prejudicial anti-ect thread before it even starts. i feel this is bad.

i am not discounting any of the people who responded that they had a 'ect horror story.' still, i am not surprised of the responses so far at this point in psychobabble's history.

i am not attacking you. i feel that maybe if you had asked 'what was your ect experience?' it may have (possibly) been a fairer question to ask.

i'll get off my soapbox.

thanks scott for letting me rant.

i hope you have as good as a weekend as you can.

john
