hi
yeah it's hard to deal with specially cos people wanna help and say stuff like "just hang in there" and i know that won't help, cos it isn't just going to go away. but they think i am being negative when i say that, really i am just being realistic.
i used to see the psychologist for 1hr but seeing as i have to drive so far to see her it seemed silly so she was willing to try 3hr sessions, which we find good (with coffee breaks/smoke breaks). do you find when you leave you suddenly think of 400 things to ask them/tell them? i used to get home and write down all this stuff and that would take up the whole next session - clearly 1hr was not enough.
I am on Edronax 8mg bd and seroquel 50mg nochte. the seroquel is just to make me sleep. tried most meds and haven't had a lot of success with them or the side effects were too bad.
ECT was good for me the first time, didn't even forget too much, but then my idiot psych said to have it again just 3 months later and then have it once a week for 2 months. I don't remember much from the first treatment to when i told him to get lost cos i couldn't remember anything. My concentration went bye-bye and i grew to really hate the 2nd hospital. i think it would have been ok if I'd only had the first treatment (6 times over 2 weeks), and not the others? But i can't really know. I would like to try TMS the magnetic version but I would have to go to Sydney to get that and it's a bit far right now.
been working for 4 months, part time, and my boss tried to blame me for all this shit that wasn't my fault 2 weeks ago. i've been fighting him ever since, and tomorrow i should hear what the area manager has to say. i should be able to go back to work next week maybe, unless of course i am in hospital. I dunno, i like my job but i can't stand the manager. but i think the company who owns them encourages management to treat workers like dirt cos they don't have to pay us as much.
hey thanks for replying AGAIN to my whinging. where are you from?
