The Latest Development

I may be out of touch for a couple of weeks. I’m not sure when my computer will be available.

I’m checking into the hospital for a week of testing then moving to Psychiatric Hospital for ECT Treatments. I plan to get 3 ETC Treatments in-house and then move to outpatient treatment. Comparing my depression to other times I’ve needed ECT, I may need at least 6-9 treatments.

My depression, which I’ve kept from my husband and Therapist, has taken a nose dive to a dark and scary place. I started thinking about suicide and knew it was time to reach out.

Don’t follow my example! As soon as you feel depression coming on please share and ask for help.

I thought I would die quietly like my gramps but he didn’t have other illnesses making it quite painful at times.

I don’t normally write about my situations as they are going on but wanted you to know why I’ve disappeared.

Thank you so much for being there and sending your love.

Melinda

  1. Ohhh my heavens Hun 🥺 I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I myself have been in and out of psych hospitals from 2010-2017 and I have had Many Electric shock therapies… although I do regret having them done because I lost ALot of my short term memory and for what seemed like an eternity, I couldn’t remember people’s names, family and friends names for the longest time….I also to this day still can’t remember some things from when my girls were little….I hope and pray that doesn’t happen to you. I wish you the best of luck. Prayers for Comfort, Peace, Strength, and Courage. 🙏💕🙏 May the Lord help you to conquer these demons. Please keep fighting. Don’t give up! No Matter what it takes. You are Not Alone! I know exactly just how disheartening and discouraging the depression demons can feel. Sending Love and Hugs 💕💕🙏💕🙏
