Hello,

I probably felt at my most balanced, to be honest, when I was getting ECT done. Meds were not working at the time, so I decided to have it done. It worked tremendously. Of course, the memory side effects were awful. When I started to get seriously ill (severe nausea and eventually, vomiting) for days after the procedure, I decided to stop doing it. It would definitely be my LAST option for recovery, but I have to admit that it worked way better than any medication ever did.

That being said, the combo of medication I'm on is doing a pretty decent job, considering I've had bad reactions to other meds in the past. I'm also seeing a good therapist. Other things that I think help me to feel "balanced" is the fact that I'm finishing up my high school credits, eating healthy and exercising 6 days a week. I also sleep for a good amount of time (9-10 hours a night)
