Don't have the energy to write much..just want
to thank everyone for their responses and the caring...
it really does mean a lot to me...thank god I see the
p-doc on monday and we are discussing ECT...I will let
everyone know the outcome of that discussion.Thank you again. You guys are an amazing bunch, so smart,
funny, compassionate and caring.Oh yeah, I have to share something. I was talking to that same
caring friend...the one that gently suggested maybe hospitalization...
and I was crying telling her "but man...that's going down the total nuthouse
road...I never thought I'd do all this shit...ECT...hospitalization...the whole
nuthouse nine yards...and what about my next relationship...it's bad enough just
telling someone you have depression and you take drugs for it...now I've got to tell
them I've had ECT and I've been in the hospital and blah blah blah..."...and she just
looked at me and said "First of all, you don't need to be thinking about all that
right now...you need to be thinking about getting better. Second of all, it's not
like you're going to be wearing a sign that says "I just had ECT" "And then I started cracking up through my tears. I said "They ought to make t-shirts
you can wear that say "I just had ECT". Something about that made me laugh.Anyway...talk to y'alls good peoples laters.
