Hello to anyone interested, today I had my 27th session of bilateral ECT and I wanted to update anyone who’s curious- combined with some medication adjustments, ECT has been life-saving treatment for me 🩷
After taking a 3 month medical leave from work, I’m back in the office and quickly relearning my job from the memory loss lol
The memory loss hasn’t been as troubling as I had expected, and I’m finding that my memories are coming back gradually as I space out treatments.
I’ll make another post with a detailed description of what each treatment is like.
Please reach out if you have ANY questions or hesitations about ECT. It changed my life and gave me a fresh start that I really needed.

I am going to be doing ECT soon, maybe next week, hopefully. I‘ve tried Ketamine, TMS, 15-20 medications, DBT, CBT (continuous), daily vitamins (omega 3, vitamin D, B6, B12, methylfolate), mushrooms, and am trying to change my diet as I have a moderate to serious binge eating disorder.
I might make this a diary of my experience with ECT.
So today (and yesterday and the day before), I feel and have felt empty and fatigued and unmotivated and weepy and dizzy and sad. I hope this is temporary.

I’ve been on a med for my ocd for one month as of today! Yippee! And I’m feeling really wonderful.
I’ve been anti-med my whole life (because of my ocd i had a massive fear taking meds would fuck up my liver and kill me…lol) but my new and fantastic therapist (another separate rec) has helped me realize that I should try it… and omg LIFE CHANGING.
I haven’t had any bad side effects (that I know of?) and have genuinely felt more productive and less anxious. like I can finally go to bed without worrying about my hair rubbing against my pillow, and can take a shower without having to Freak Out about stepping on the dirty floor..
like omg life is awesome and beautiful. People just are like this normally? Crazy.
Thank you science and thank you therapy!
