Finally, someone has turned a dim light on and I feel the deep part of the depression lifting! I almost enjoyed hearing the birds sing this morning. I haven't felt any sense of enjoyment for a long time.

Up to my 12th out of 21 TMS sessions. Maybe it is beginning to help. Maybe it is the Zoloft I started on Wednesday. I think it is the Zoloft as I felt its effect almost immediately, and mild side effects too. With TMS it, apparently, generally kicks in at about 16 sessions so hopefully I will be out of this depression within a week and home in about 12 days when the treatment stops.

Today I am studying after my morning TMS and loads of sleep. I sleep 10 hours a night then often go back to bed at some point during the day for another 1-2 hours. I am exhausted. Tomorrow is Fathers Day here so I am looking forward to a day out of hospital with my family. My sister and I bought him Stevie Nicks and The Pretenders tickets for him and my Mum as a combined early Christmas present. Hope they like them.

Sending love and hugs through the ether to all who need some ...
