I am in a day program again and again it it making my mood worse. I dislike groups and it is [trigger] increasing my suicidal thoughts. They want me to throw out my extra pills tonight. [\trigger].
I am not sure I can meet that goal tonight. Plus the dr for the program is an ***. I am thinking of going back inpatient and doing ECT. But ECT scares me some. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Hello Crook32: Yes ECT scares me too. It was suggested to me quite a few years ago. I didn't do it then & I don't think I would do it now. On the other hand, I guess there are some people who have had good results from it. Perhaps some of them, here on PC, will reply to your post. I also participated in 1 day program , again, quite a few years ago now. I had a reasonably good experience. But, then, I had a fairly good (for me) pdoc. In fact, I still see him. He doesn't really do much for me. But he's easy-going & doesn't push me to do things I don't want to do (like ECT.) I also always have a few extra pills laying around. Somehow, I can just never quite bring myself to get rid of them even though I don't think I have enough of anything to do any serious damage. Somehow, it's still just a comfort knowing they're there.

I'm sorry to hear that your group therapy isn't going well. I'm in a weekly therapy group, and it varies from being terrific to making me hugely frustrated and annoyed when I go there and it gets really disorganized and one or two members start crying as soon as group starts.
I'm sorry to hear that the group is pressuring you. That goes against how I think groups should work, and I wouldn't like it either. Is the group leader receptive to feedback? |

Hi, sorry you're struggling so much. In response to your enquirer about ECT, it is a serious treatment and should be treated with respect, but I do know a few people who say they benefited a lot from it. At one time it was suggested by a locum and I hoped I would be able to try it, but my psychiatrist says it's not suitable for me with my particular issues, though he does use it for some people.
Good luck with your future decisions and treatment.   ❤️

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
