Hey guys! In 2015 I did ECT for about 6 months. The side effects were the worst I've ever experienced, but it worked SO well! I really want to do it again now that my symptoms are starting back up, but I work ~60 hours per week and am a FT student so it's not possible (on the 3 days a week I had ECT I spent the entire day after the procedure in bed so I couldn't do anything on those days.)

My bf thinks I'm crazy for wanting to do it again because he watched me suffer through the side-effects for that 6 months.

If I could, I would absolutely do it again. Is there anyone else that also had a good experience with ECT? I was reading up on it again recently and was only finding all of these horror stories related to it. I can't be the only one who had a good experience, right?
