I was thinking about you a lot yesterday, wondering what the ECT would be like. Funny, even though I don't know you I was worried. I guess it's because I can see myself in your shoes so easily and have thought about the treatment. Don't beat yourself up for not doing it- I wouldn't either. I'm actually glad you didn't, and I hope with some med modification you can beat this depression. I know what it feels like and I'm so sorry to you and anyone who is experiencing this living death right now. I'm playing with my meds, trying to swing to the brighter side of the spectrum and slowly losing, so I may be joining you in the pit soon. Best of luck to you.
