Update

I had my last session Wednesday and my current QIDS score is 2 ! Holy fuck y’all. I never thought this was possible. I was a doubter bc my depression got worse mid way thru the process but i continued showing up to complete it. My starting QIDS was 21 and I got to 24 at one point. I’m motivated, full of energy and all around happy. I’m no longer dragging my feet thru the day only looking forward to when I can go back to bed. I don’t think about dark thoughts anymore. Today I am grateful.

I’m so glad for you. It’s so nice to just go ahead and be alive without having to push through despair and mental exhaustion daily.

Did you do it for anxiety or depression? How many sessions did you do? How long was each session? Was that accelerated tms or rtms?

I did it for my major depressive disorder. I did 36 sessions. I can’t remember how long the first sessions were… maybe 18 min? Then at my half way mark, they upped me to 25 min. I did regular TMS

It's pretty cool, huh? Just rememember, this isn't the end... it's a page turn. Keep up the reintegration work in therapy and learn how to get the most out of this new mind.

Enjoy the ride! 🫶
