I have treatment resistant depression. Six years and no luck with meds. Landed in the hospital last week where I felt a little pushed into ECT. Honestly, I didn't stick it out past one session I was in so much pain and discomfort personally. I felt like I couldn't hold a thought in my head for the entire day. My head pounded even after 800mg of ibuprofen. My jaw ached. The next day I felt like I'd been thrown against a wall.

So. Last resort. That's what I'm leaving it for. My therapist has some ideas, so I said, okay. Dunno what they are yet, but I'm near some major hospitals that do research so we'll see.
