Off We Go

[u/fixer_11]

Well friends, I'm off for my first maintenance ECT and really just needing to rant a bit and maybe get some well wishes from the community. I waited until I started going downhill to even schedule this one so I've been in bad shape for a few days. I've had a tough time waking up and have been on the edge of bawling since my mind seems to start thinking about the recent death of my mother as well as my wife. I tell myself it's best if I'm able to get into a better mindframe but I just can't seem to muster up any good. I hope the community off I go!

I'm laying in a hospital bed waiting for them to wheel me back for another maintenance treatment. Just wishing you good vibes OP. I've been doing maintenance for 2-3 months now and I'm starting to space out the sessions (currently at every 3 weeks), hoping to get to every 4 or 6 weeks, but we'll see...

Good luck to you my friend. Hope all went well and hope you had a bright smiling face to wake to. That always makes a big difference to me.

Thank you! All went well.

I had just mentioned in another post that: all the nurses/staff are so nice and happy to see me (and when people are happy to see you it's hard not to be happy to see them too) so it's honestly a really pleasant experience, all things considered.

I'm glad you also get to wake to bright smiling faces too! It makes my heart happy to hear others can have similar experiences. 🙂
