I have another 3 days to wait. Doesn't sound like much but when you are disappointed and depressed waiting that long for relief is too much. I saw my pdoc on Tuesday and I agreed to wait until Friday for ECT instead of Wednesday. I was going downhill but only mildly, not moderate. So, today I got a call, which I missed, that said the pdoc doing ECT tomorrow can't do it so did I mind if I waited until Monday... as if I had a say in the matter. I am ready to cry and throw something which I have never done. I have been counting the days since Tuesday, knowing I would have relief on Friday. Now I have a long weekend to get through as I have nothing going on tomorrow or the rest of the weekend. For the first time in a long time I am thinking about self harm, wanting it, not doing it.

I know the pdoc must have a good reason to cancel but it doesn't make it any better. I hate this.

((((Anneinside)))) I am really sorry that your ect got rescheduled. I can imagine how much of a disappointment that is, when you are already feeling that way. I hope you can get through the weekend, with no self harm.

anneinside It is frustrating to be awaiting something important and have it postponed, especially after agreeing to a later than original time! I'm sorry this happened to you. Remember we will be here if we can be of any comfort, ok?

Come here when you need help holding on.
