Hi BCat,
WOW...we DO sound alike....I just about fell off my chair when you mentioned crafts and Michael's!! I too have got all hepped up about something, flower arranging, ceramics, computer crafts, sewing etc. I buy all the stuff, do it for awhile, get bored and give it up or I just lose interest. I have often wondered if I could have ADD. Sometimes I can concentrate and sometimes I can't even read this board!I also SOOO relate to bill paying....I actually call myself Scarlett.....I find even when I have the money I put it off....sometimes the simplest chore seems so overwhelming..it took me an hour today just to convince myself I could do the dishes!
I will definately keep everyone informed about my ECT experience. I do sporadically keep a journal so I will try to make notes. The nurses on the Pyschiatric unit (where I have spent TOO much time) are very helpful and will remind me to do it. Someone else on this board said to keep notes BEFORE the ECT to jog my memory and I plan to do that also.
I am sure it won't be a Bestseller (I wish) but I will do my best!
Thanks for your well wishes. That's what makes this board so great...it is nice to know we are not alone....that is one thing I have really learned when in hospital...I have made some good friends from my incarcerations ;o)
