Hi Sunrise,

Thanks for the message, I appreciate it.

Yes, I had ECT while I was in the the hospital, and continued the treatments after I left. It didn't seem to help, and it did cause memory and cognitive problems for me. But I know it is supposed to help in some cases.

We do have a crisis line in our community and my therapist recommends that also. When I've called, my experience hasn't been very good. I think it is staffed by volunteers rather than professionals and their training isn't so good. I've been in other communities and called a crisis line once or twice and found it helpful, but not here. sigh.

Anyway, thanks again, and maybe I'll have a sudden flash of inspiration somehow. I hope so.

Wishing you all the best - thanks again!

Take care,
