Hi Nikki.
> > my pdoc ... he's just going on and on about hospitalising me and maybe ect.
Don't do it ,please! I have had friends (+ my mum) on NHS units and they all seem to come out worse. There seems to be no distinction made btwn affective disorders & serious psychiatric conditions such as schizophrenia, and subsequently no segregation. Schizophrenics have all my sympathy but if they are ill enough to be hospitalized I would not like to be confined with them.
(Hospitalization is the only option for some tho'...)
ECT, though undoubtedly v. effective, seems like the proverbial sledgehammer, when you have *so* many meds yet to try.
> >...idiot.
You know it.
> > Unfortunately I have *NO* money so going US isn't an option at the moment.. I'm kind of at the end of my road right now.. need a way out!
All its cost me so far is the price of a plane fare+1x consult fee+1 night @ motel. I consult my pdoc by e-mail & 3 months on, he's yet to charge me any further consult fees. Legend!
Maybe we could start a NikkiT2 fund...
