I’m an experienced ECT veteran, but I was in hospital at the time AND I was stuck in depression.

The med cocktail just has me flat, numb, empty. But I admit that I am self-destructive when manic. I was sometimes severely manic and I don’t know if there’s a word or slogan for long-term, short-of-full-blown mania?

For the past few days I’ve slowly been adjusting my meds. I was so ‘drunk’ (not from liquor!) yesterday that I took 20-minutes to arise from bed to get into my wheelchair. I’m going to have to work on that.
