Look at you - having a cry but asking how others are doing, in the middle of it! @Eve7 

Yes, my day today was better, thanks.

I read that you are having ECT once a week at the moment...I hope that's going well. I also hope your cry helps 

[Eve7]

I realise I’m not the only one on this mi journey and I do care about you and others here @NatureLover 

The ECT is a high maintenance treatment for 6-8 weeks. It knocks me about a bit more so I hope it works.

I’ve been thinking about you today and was glad when I read you’d been doing self care.

Ive wiped my tears away and have now put on my “big girl pants”.

Dear @Eve7 

@are you at home now..   

i am sorry you are feeling knocked about and down.  ECT is rough. I am amazed that they are still allowed to use it.  But if it helps.....

 I have been thinking about you and hoping that you are managing.  You have support here, so touch in as you can.  I have had a terrible few weeks so have been a bit absent.  Hopefully things are getting better.

Hi @Peri I’ve been trying to reply to you all day and now I have another message from you. Firstly, happy birthday 🎁 and apologies for my lateness. I hope it was a lovely day.

I’ve been home over a week except for a setback a few days ago when I had to go in overnight. It’s mostly going ok with a fair bit of support.

I’m having a maintenance ect once a week and I am hoping with all hope that it works. It’s been a bit rough as it’s stronger.

I had a lovely time this morning at a sporting event with friends then all the family came tonight for dinner and I came a bit undone.

I hope it works out for your son with all the family Court stuff. My son is about to go through that and I know it’s just not easy.

Please take care my friend and I am going to do some knitting before I go to bed.

Talk again soon xox
