Thanks @NatureLover @Eve7
Had ECT this morning.
Spoke to pdoc before and at this stage it looks like I can go home next Saturday. That means 3 more sessions of ECT as an inpatient and then some more as an outpatient.
Really looking forward to going home. Been in here for long enough.
I hope your days are going well.

That's good news about going home a week today @Snowie , even if you'd rather it was sooner.
I hope you have a lovely time seeing your kids today 🙂

Hi @Snowie , I read on another thread that you had a nice lunch out with your family 🙂
Also that you are struggling to eat dinners in there? I hope that becomes easier 🤞
Sending care... 💙

Thanks @NatureLover @outlander @Eve7 and anyone else around.
Had another ECT session yesterday. Two more to go as an inpatient.
Hoping when i get home that i can get back into more of a routine with food and doing things.
Will try and make it to group this afternoon as long as there are not too many others. Not really in the mood to be surrounded by others.
Sending love to all that need it 💗

Another ECT session this morning. Was very tiring today so didn't get to any group sessions this afternoon. Hopefully can get to some tomorrow.
Saw pdoc. Still Saturday as home day. Spoke also about organising a Support Worker for me. Is going to talk to my regular pdoc about it. Hopefully it can be a bit more regular support for me.
Managed a bit of dinner tonight. Still eating in my room and not the dining hall. Just really don't want to talk to others. Say hi to some on my ward but that's as close as I have come to making friends.
Counting down the days now 🙂
