I've been dealing with treatment resistant depression, panic disorder and anxiety since the age of 10, and am now almost 30! I have had a few "happy" periods in my adulthood, but most of the years have been spent feeling destroyed, lonely, unworthy etc. I only get up in the mornings to ensure my wonderful daughter has a normal, loving childhood and mother. If I did not have my daughter, I would not want to exist. I am constantly fatigued, have no ambition to do anything, have secluded myself from friends and am just SO extremely sad I can't/don't/won't do anything! Meds are not effective; I have tried many! Therapy: hasn't been useful so far. I will be starting ECT soon as a "there's nothing else left to try" option.
I am tired of living this way, and desperately want to feel better, live life, love and be loved.....
Wondering if anyone has had any luck with ECT?
Thanks all!
