*Possible trigger* Warning Rambling Ahead

This is very interesting to me. So many of the things she talked about hit home with me. (Except for the great home life growing up.) But the "going crazy"...and staying crazy...the suicide attempts...many hospitalizations...medications...and ECT. Although, I did not have to wear a diaper. But, the rest of the description of coming out of the ECT stuper, and trying to put the pieces together of where and who you are. I had never heard anyone put that feeling into words. I was very disoriented, or "disconnected" from myself and the world. Things slowly coming back...but not everything...not by a longshot.

My sister threatened to sue my pdoc if he gave me anymore treatments. He dropped me like a hot potato. In my haze between treatments, I had forgotten she was pregnant (about 4 months along) and this bothered her quite a bit. She knew little else of the condition I was in prior to the ECTs. I had 7 treatments. I have mixed feelings about that situation with my sister, although I believe she thought she was acting in my best interest...maybe she was. But, I have to say that when I was pregnant a year later, she said to me three times, "I keep forgetting you're pregnant!" :mad: :rolleyes:

I only got to watch two of the videos, 'cause hubby has gone to bed, and I don't want to wake him, which is also why I should stop typing now. :p

Sorry for the ramble :o

dear Mags,
I hope that the videos did not upset you.
I guess I should of put a trigger warning on it will now!

Dear Bizi,

The videos did not upset me in the least. They just reminded me of me -- a lot. Then I got to rambling... :rolleyes:

I just put the trigger thing on there, because I didn't know what I was going to be rambling about, so erred of the side of caution. I don't really trigger easily, but wanted to be careful of others, in case they do. I guess I didn't really need to, but...oh well...LOL

{{{HUGS}}}

She is so darn cute, intelligent and funny!!

I really enjoyed watching these videos. I do relate to the things she said, since my mom had similar drugs, treatments, and symptoms.

Thanks so much for posting this, bizi!
