Tuscon, I'm glad you finally got to talk with and see your girlfriend. I'm sorry to learn she became so sick.

I once had a series of ECT. Towards the end, my memory was affected. It was a bit concerning for both me and my husband, but after about a month or so all seemed cleared up, but I still had some mild symptoms of my bipolar. I think the whole experience of my severe bipolar episodes and the ECT were a little traumatizing, but I even healed from that over time. I had a very rare negative experience during my first treatment, relating to the anesthesia, which I assume she didn't have. Perhaps that was also an exacerbating issue.

It's possible your girlfriend won't remember (possibly ever) some of the days or weeks during her psychosis and ECT. I didn't. That was just as well, in my view. It's the brain's way of protection. Why remember such horrible times?! That didn't continue after the ECT ended, and wasn't complete.

Best wishes to you both.
