Reaching Out

[Guest_96024612]

Hi all,

I am a first time poster.  I am 46(f) with PTSD and major depression. I am just trying to find support after a very difficult couple of months.  I have been in hospital for a month (my 17th admission) and have had 16 ECTs and 98 TMS,  and I don’t feel as though I am getting any better.  The emotional pain feels so physical some times, and with my last ECT tomorrow morning, I don’t know where to turn.  I really hope these forums have people who have ideas on how I can start to get my life back.

Thanks so much.

Hi,

Welcome to the forums and thank you for reaching out to us.

I am so sorry you are going through such a difficult time. I can only imagine how frustrating it must be to have had so much therapy, only to not feel or see an improvement.

I am happy to give you some support but it would be helpful to have a bit of information on what you have tried in the past so I can make some suggestions that may be of help. We are here to support you, so for now just know that you are not alone.

Please continue this conversation if you are comfortable doing so

Take care of yourself,
