Hi Dave,
How did you manage to find someone who will give you ECT? Are you that bad, what symptoms do you have?
Whenever I even mention it to anyone they seem appalled, my mum seems to think I'll end up like a zombie and get admitted to Hatton hospital for the rest of my life. But when I'm at my worst I'd quite happily leap on the bed and beg them to give it to me.
My boyfriend seems to think I make out that I'm worse than I really am and thinks I'm being silly when I ask for ECT, so does everyone else. He reckons that because I still laugh ocassionally I'm not really that bad.
I hope, that if you do have it, lateral or bilateral, that you'll feel better and come back to this site to let everyone know. It gives people hope when they see someone who has responded to something when all else has failed.
I imagine there are lots of people who when they get better don't come to this site anymore. I guess it's because they don't like to be reminded of what they were like and they're too busy enjoying life again.
Denise
