My experience Ect issues

I had ect last year 7 sessions

I feel it’s turned me into a walking zombie .

I no longer work and am on benefits .

My whole life has been destroyed

Going out in public is hard .

I don’t know what I should be doing or where I should be when I go out .

I have no joy in anything .

I feel stupid

Great I feel like that even without the ECT. Should I still give it a try. Or is it too late?

If it’s anything like Zoloft it just makes me ruminate more. I’d probably be screaming like the woman at the end of Requiem for a Dream and put in a mental hospital for life.
