Thank you! Thing is I’ve had it three times (who knows how many rounds total) which is why I know it works. And also why I know I hate it. The first time I had it I managed without meds or therapy for six years. The other two times didn’t go as well but they still worked to get me out of the awful depression. They just didn’t make it last as long.

But then again, I was in a bad marriage with terrible job and financial stress, all of which I don’t have now.

I don’t know. I really hate it. I hate the memory loss. There’s people I don’t remember, trips I have no idea I’ve taken, it really sucks. And the actual process is anxiety producing because I have a fear of anesthesia. So during the day in between i’m still worrying about the next day.

I’m just trying to hang on. There’s not that much time until it starts warming up. Maybe that will work.
