- Everyone thinks that I've improved more than I think I have. I had proof today that I must have improved. I was doing a short photography course prior to the ECT (today I remembered it). I had only got as far as the first assignment. I thought from the feedback that I had done badly. When I re-read the feeback today, I saw it entirely... more

- An agreement's been reached (unfortunately doc, it had to be done). There's been a tussle going on between 'us' and 'them'. And that's why I haven't been posting for a couple of weeks. I'm feeling a fair bit better - 15 electric shocks done and finished. Life is a bit odd now though lol. But I get to enjoy discovering fun stuff twice! Which... more

- Dr said this morning, that once we get to this many ECT's that the maximum benefit has probably been reached. Which is not what she said last week. The agreement is that I have 2 more (tomorrow and Tuesday), then stop and plan for discharge, monitoring if I go up or down in the following weeks. If I get worse, then I'll be put on maintenance ECT... more

- ECT 13 today. I didn't have a nice big jolt like I had last time :no: Ok so I haven't been feeling much 'happier', but I think things are more positive in other ways: I'm not comfort eating as much - I've lost half a stone, and my desire to eat so much 'comfort' chocolate is gone. In fact I don't feel like I want to eat chocolate at all today... more

- Ok so I had my weekly review this morning. I had hubby with me today to add weight to what I said, and to speak on my behalf. I've had 12 ECT's now, and the trend is upwards. I've been worried all week that they'll think I've had enough and stop the treatment now. That absolutely terrified me. To think that I'm part-way to recovery, and they... more

- This memory-thing's a pain in the butt. Hubby played The Wildhearts in the car yesterday. I love The Wildhearts, but though I recognised the style - I couldn't say what band was playing. And I didn't recognise the tracks at all :??: That's not very good for a classic rock chick is it! After he'd told me who was playing, I remembered that they... more

- I had ect number 11 this morning. It went fine, but this time I didn't feel like I'd run a marathon (stiff muscles), headache, painful jaw. That makes me wonder if the dose wasn't so big. There's no point in putting myself through all this if the shocks aren't big enough. As I was saying to a friend elsewhere though, my memory was more shot... more
