I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. It must be very frightening to forget so much, even why treatment decisions were made.
I don't know that much about ECT but I do know that it is never decided upon lightly. May I ask, were you really depressed?
Also, have you read, "Undercurrents"? It was written by a Therapist who battled depression, ultimately she used ECT to overcome it. I loved the writing, it said so much of how I feel these days.
I assume you have ongoing support. Have you told your Therapist you are questioning the decision? Maybe he/she can help you reconstruct the reasons you went down this road. I hope so.
