However I've met about seven people who have had it in the last few years (mostly in the psych ward) and they all said it greatly affected their short term memory. One woman lost an entire week. That scares me. But perhaps those people all had memory issues from medication too, as I do. It's so hard to know what's worth the risk isn't it? Best of luck and all the love to you ❤️❤️Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991249670796249444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932094340622705390.post-9497929312151956312016-09-30T09:18:34.237-07:002016-09-30T09:18:34.237-07:00I totally agree.

It's hard to drown out the depressed me's voice at times.<br /><br />Love you!Garden Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07354707840226473223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932094340622705390.post-41419291448503221322016-09-30T09:17:47.245-07:002016-09-30T09:17:47.245-07:00Thank you Molly!

FUCK the people who feel using medication is synonymous with weakness; FUCK their stigma, & FUCK their opinions!!! Anyone cavalier enough to say you should replace medication with a smoothie & exercise clearly doesn't have treatment resistant depression, & **they don't have to live your life**!!!! They haven't been through what you've been through, & they don't live your struggle 24-7 for years on end. You are the ONLY person who's opinion matters in this---end of story. No one has to know if you opt for ECT unless you choose to share it---& if you think it will help you, that is the ONLY thing that matters. PERIOD. No matter what you decide, I support & love you regardless....you are the only person who can make that decision. Sending you **so much love**, sweetheart!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268243950286331637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932094340622705390.post-44099551965144949702016-09-28T09:59:25.030-07:002016-09-28T09:59:25.030-07:00You are so strong and I'm so proud of you for ...You are so strong and I'm so proud of you for all of the steps forward you're taking. You're a warrior! I recently listened to the book "Shockaholic," written and read by Carrie Fisher and it was an enlightening view of modern shock therapy, told with honesty and humor. <br /><br />Thinking of you and hoping the darkness lifts soon. <3Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055705817918188683noreply@blogger.com
