Hi FB,
Thanks for your post, in what way are you finding your new therapist helpful? How is she different to the one that you really liked but who ultimately didn't help you.
I have asked about group therapy but they don't do it in my area on the NHS. I might do some further investigation though.
As to why they won't give me ECT I think it's because I'm not classed as having a major depressive episode. My depression is definately chronic, infact sometimes I wonder if this is just who I am (and that really does scare me). I don't cry uncontrollably or anything like that I just feel incredibly anxious, irritable, weak, despondent and apathetic.
I'm taking the Zyprexa every 7 days just to stop myself from really going down but if I don't take it then I just lose the will to live. It seems that when I'm unmedicated no matter what I try to do, exercise, speak to friends, do something constructive etc etc, nothing makes a scrap of difference and it just feels hopeless.
Thanks so much for your comments.
Denise
