I had to really force myself to exercise this morning. Will probably just hang on the internet until the playoff game at 12:30 - - Go Pack!
Other than that, dreading ECT tomorrow but too scared to stop at this point. That severe depression I had was just too terrible.
Editing this to say I guess I won't be having ECT after all. I forgot that I was not supposed to take my lamictal today or yesterday (to make sure I have a seizure), so I'll have to call and cancel. I'm sure I'll be all right (I hope at least) since I had to cancel once before and made it through ok.

Newgal, I was so happy to see that you had improved so much. When I left for home you were still in the chains of the deep depression. Yeah Bipolar depression is very hard.
