I couldn't wait for my ECT yesterday, so as to feel better. I don't. I'm not sure why I feel poorly. The ECT went well. It always does. The day after I feel great. Not today though. I've been having nightmares lately. My neck hurts, which always does after an ECT. I feel sluggish. I hate that feeling. I've been up since 3:30am. It's now 6:30am. My morning meds are due @ 7am. I tried to write a journal 3x and deleted it 3x. My stomach feels like I ate a 5 course meal. All I ate so far today was 3 kolachi's and a Reese Big Cup. I took my meds just now, a few minutes early.. Maybe they will help. The voices are quiet for the most part. They were spinning earlier. I'm gonna post this. I can't think of anything else I wanna talk about.
Live, love, laugh, learn, listen,
David

Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your treatment didn't help much, especially since you were looking forward to some relief of your symptoms. I'm afraid I'm pretty ignorant--is ECT electric shock treatment?

Hi Kate,
ReplyDeleteECT's are in fact "shock treatments."
They usually help. This time, however, I have more stressors going on.
