I guess it is worth mentioning the ECT coordinator contacted me to say that my pdoc responsible for ECT is doing virtual meetings with patients now. I finally came out to her with the suicide plan which evolved over the past couple of weeks, but reassured them that my T is making an heroic effort to keep me safe. So, as things stand, I will probably still need to wait until the COVID surge dies down at the hospital. That's my choice now - or at least the repercussions of my choice. I can handle that.

sorry to hear that, daonnachd. i really wish they would allow you to get ECT. the COVID-19 crap is expected to stay around for a while, with some people predicting it'll disappear as late as august! I don't get why they are cutting people off like this, especially if COVID-19 ends up taking all the way until august to disappear.
anyways... I'm sorry that you're feeling so low, but you should be proud of yourself for sharing your suicide plan and working hard with your therapist to cope with all this crap going on. it takes a lot of courage and strength to share something so personal with them.
and of course, I'm glad you're actively trying to stay safe. that's the most important thing right now. keep on keeping on.
