A while ago, I posted a message that headed with "wondering about ECT." i'm not the greatest in expressing my exact thoughts in words but nonetheless, I got a response that didn't reflect at all what I was trying to ask and talk about on this topic. I've taken many meds for years and now i don't know if they are helping or not, since i don't know what it's like to be "med-less" for at least ten years. I feel flat alot and numb, but I still get disfunctionally depressed. by that i mean i'm unable to accomplish simple daily tasks. It takes all my mental energy to do the smallest things without anxiety. I found out about ECT and have thought about it over the years but I tell my self to try every possible last resort before I'd ever get involved in that,and to set goals to delay any decision about it. One reason is that i don't know that much about it and so i asked on this site for anyone having experience with it. And I'd carefully and fully think it all over if it ever comes up as a possibility. They say that people who don't respond to meds often take this route. But it's scary. Anyway, I hope this clears up any confusion to anyone, as to what i was getting at here about ECT.
Thanks! Larsienne
