things are not good right now they keep switching my med and i am in a group therapy program all day 5 days a week and they are thinking about trying ect again i am just so tired sorry i havent been posting much just very tired:grouphug:

Group therapy all day long,and all week long.Wow. It must be tiresome,but helpful.

It sounds like the doctors are doing a variety of things to help you. BF:hug:

i am thinking about quiting it i just cant handle it the day is just too long and way to hard to talk to all those people just easier when its one on one therapy i dont do well in a group setting

Maybe they will let you do like 2 days in with the group thing then the rest of time one on one. I did way better with one on one but i did both for a while . I hope you keep holding strong and keep looking reaching and trying all your options that come along. You are a great friend and mom and deserve the best. holding you tight in my thoughts denise.
Many Blessings to you and your family.

What Burntmarshmallow said sounds good. A couple of days of group,and a couple of days of one,on one. Hugs to you. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Denise to be honest and putting myself in your shoes ..if the ect hasnt helped you .. I meen if you havent noticed a change for the better in some form by now and its been a good few weeks time,..then I myself probly wouldnt keep going on with the ect treatments anymore . I would probly be asking for other options and trying to get one on one treatment at least offered as an option. I meen you have tryed what they suggested so maybe they will give the one no one a try. ask them if it is possible to get that for you. also keep bringing up the v.n.s. to your doc too .talk about both things every time you go the one on one and the v.n.s. keep mentioning them each time you go. we are all praying and sending positive thoughts and healing wishes to you and your family. :grouphug:

I have been in counseling and lots of medication my dr thinks that i am medication resistant. i feel so deperate for help but i dont know what to do please if anyone has any suggestions please share them with me. I feel as though if i dont get help i might succeed in killing myself. I need someone to shine a light at the end of the tunnel for me. I also did impatient and group therapy. Please help me if you can thank you.

HI, I understand your pain. I also have depression severe and I too have been labeled treatment resistant. You might ask your psychiatrist about RU486. This is a new treatment for depression. They are just finding out that it dramatically reduces depression in most patients. It is a controversial drug because it is the "morning after pill". but if you look up on the internet just RU486, you will only pull up sites for abortion. But if you look up"RU486 used for depression" you can read for yourself about the findings on this drug for depression. Hang in there. They are really finding a lot more new ways to treat depression.

Laura has found something good. Thank you Laura. I hope you find the right treatment.

Denise. That's encouraging isn't it? We are living in the days when they are discovering so many wonderful things. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Are you OK? I hope that the depression is easing up. I hope that you are feeling better. Hang in there. BF::hug:
