If this damned depression weighs on me after my dear kitty is gone I will go IP. I have to care for her now, in her last bit of time.
I would like to get ECT. Thank you for sharing your experience of it. Yes, I have tried and continue to do all the 'stuff'- meds, meditation, mindfulness, breathwork. I am going to start seeing a therapist...we'll see if that helps at all. I'm just so scared.
Thank you so much for your reply
Just being heard helps a lot.
