He’s a nice enough guy it’s just clear that he’s not going to trust my own judgment of myself and meds.
I’m hanging all my hopes on ECT at the moment. It’s worked so well in the past. Maybe if I think more positive it will help. Because let me tell you, my thoughts are not at all positive at the moment.
I left work early AGAIN. They know I have medical problems (they don’t know it’s a mental illness) but I can’t just take off whenever I want without a dr note. I don’t know how many more years I’m going to be able to work full time. I guess it doesn’t help to think about, really.
I did get six months of stability last year into this year. I’ll get back to that again, I hope.

My heart goes out to you. My illness has always been a problem with taking "too many" sick days etc with my previous employer. To them, four occurrences per YEAR was too much.
I hope the ECT works for you, but I think maybe you should find a doctor who will give you the Emsam. Especially if it worked before. I'm sure you already know that you need a "wash out" period of 14 days between taking a SSRI and a MAO inhibitor.
Is THC legal where you live?
