Hi all

Am not going to tag anyone in case I forget people.

Had another session of ECT on Monday and today. Got another on Friday. Spoke to pdoc today who says I should be able to go home next weekend, so another week and a half to go. Was wishing to go home earlier but it is what it is.

I can feel an improvement in my mood which is good so at least I know it is helping me.

I wish it would help with the flashbacks though, which is a whole other issue.

Am missing my psych a lot. Haven't seen/spoken to her since I have been in so that is playing on my mind quite a bit. Meant to have a session with her next week so going to ask if I can do a phone/video call at least. That is something I really don't like about being in here. Yes I have the nurses to speak to if I want, but it really isn't the same thing as talking to my psych. I guess at least with the nurses you get the same one most days which is good in that way.

I hope whoever is reading this is going well. I have been trying to keep up with you all through my emails. Even if I am not on here much I am following and thinking of you all.

Sending all my love to you all 💌💌

Im so glad you have noticed some improvement with your mood @Snowie if only the flashbacks would go away 🩵

Thanks for the update @Snowie. I hope you can have your psych appointment if that will help.

Im glad you can see some improvement. 

I’ve been thinking about you

Thanks for your update @Snowie  🙂 So glad you've seen an improvement in your mood! How is the SH and SI? 

Is the ECT meant to help with flashbacks too? Crossing fingers for you 🤞

I hope you can have the Telehealth appt with your psych next week...

Thanks @NatureLover 

My sh and si is still quite high. I am hoping it settles down with my improvement in my mood.

Unfortunately ECT doesn't affect my long term memory just short term. I wish it would.

My flashbacks have been going ok but have heightened today for some reason. Not sue why. Hoping the prn I just had will help. Will be relieved when today is over. ECT again tomorrow.

Hey @Snowie  sorry I missed your update yesterday. I unsubscribed to all threads a while ago… nothing personal, just something I had to do for me. So I often miss when folks post. I’m glad to read that your mood has improved a little and that you maybe going home end of next week. But I’m sorry that you’re still having alot of flashbacks…. That’s the rough thing with trauma eh…. Hopefully you can take some time to do a call with your psych next week, it would be valuable support for you. 

[Snowie]

No need to be sorry @Bow you do what works for you. I only subscribe to a few threads now, it just got too overwhelming for me.

I'm hoping to at least do a phone chat with my psych. Even though the nurses are ok to speak too, it is nothing like my psych. I miss our appointments, especially going from weekly to nothing. It's been hard.

I hope your day is going ok.

Hey @Snowie sounds like it's all under way, but you're still doing life on hard mode at the moment. Here for ya if you wanna chat hun 💜

[Snowie]

Thanks @Jynx 

I'm hoping things improve enough for me to get out next weekend. That will mean a month in here which is long enough. It will mean some ECT sessions as an outpatient but i can handle that. I've done it before.

I'm ready for my own bed and being around hubby and the kids again. Even though I speak to them on the phone everyday it just isn't the same.
