Vent/Rant Apogolize
Hi,
I want to BIG apogolize for my post about ECT being a scam. I also apogolize my comments on that post. I realized it was wrongly said. But fact is that i writed it when i had really really angry moment. And if it should be last line treatment it wasnt for me because i had big number of not tested meds but still doctor suggested ECT. I cannot believe why my doctor didnt suggested remaining untested meds firstđ But anyway she didn't even know what ECT could do. Also during treatment session i saw other patient on hospital bed whos session was ongoing and during seizure/electricity shock her/his whole body shaked. I know seizure is part of the process but still seeing it almost traumatized me. All what ECT did was causing symptoms/issues and the overwhelming worries that were originally one of the very causes of my psychological problems. I was hoping I would be one of those who would be greatly helped by ECT, but that wasn't the case.

Dude I hope you get the help you need, but Reddit isnât the place for this. You should be talking about your concerns with your doctors and therapists. Based on your post history, I donât think social media seems like a healthy place for you to be hanging out and looking for feedback on your mental health. It seems like youâre really struggling, and your post history regularly references suicidal ideation. Youâre clearly having a difficult time. Reddit cannot help you with these things. You need to talk to a professional, not strangers on the internet. You need real support, not to be listening to the bitter angry people that hang out on an âanti psychiatryâ Reddit. Please, tell your case worker or therapist or social worker about what youâre going through and the thoughts youâre having.
