well, ECT left me feeling pretty rough today. after it was done i felt mentally wore out and every muscle in my body felt completely wore out. so they had to wheel me out to the car in a wheelchair. and my memory has been has been pretty bad for some time, and im not sure if it has gotten worse after i started having ECT or not.
but today was my 14th treatment and i feel, even though i felt mentally wore out after afterwards, i benefited most from it today. for some time ive been having problems using my muscles. when id do something simple like reach my arms out or use my muscles to hold my mouth open or do a push up, afterwards id feel more depressed mentally. this started ever since i took Effexor in 2007. but so far my mood has improved, but only a bit in certain ways. colors are brighter and even though my thoughts were wore out after ECT today, my thoughts do feel clearer.
im positive at some point, maybe even after my next treatment, my mood will experience a substantial improvement. before todays treatment, i was afraid my mood might not improve a whole lot more.
