It scared me, too, before I started it. In fact, I remained scared of it even after starting it, even after reaching the point where I wished I had started it sooner. It completely changed my quality of life.

I want to ask you though, what is it about ECT that scares you? I might be able to help with how you envision the procedure, thus reducing anxiety.
