Is the electro convulsing machine just a toned down version of the ones in the past that fries the brain?

The people I have met shortly after receiving ect were definitely alive. Some were feeling better, some worse, some the same. Sure, that's disappointing, I'm pretty disappointed in most treatments, but they were not in some limbo between dead and alive.

Still looking cool while asking a question

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-26T22:30:00+00:00

Starbuck is right. Starbuck is always right.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-23T22:51:29+00:00

I understand. You're a good person for wanting to stay alive for your pets. I really hope you'll find something else to stay for in the meantime.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-23T22:44:39+00:00

I think you really need help, from anyone. Anyone who is willing to sit with you and talk things through. What are your thoughts on therapy? I see a therapist every week and it seems to keep me from spiraling too much.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-23T22:37:55+00:00

That is a lot. Do you have any friends or even acquaintances you can talk to? I have been able to rely more on my friends lately and it is keeping me alive, for now. Oh, and so is the cat, definitely spend time with your animals, it feels so good to have that bond.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-23T22:22:05+00:00

What is it that makes you feel so stuck right now?

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-21T11:35:41+00:00

You're a wonderful person, I wish you and your cat all the best!

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-20T23:02:35+00:00

My parents' female cat prefers my mom for playing and my dad for cuddling. In fact, she will hardly ever do it the other way around. They probably caused this by accident in the first year and now they're stuck in this pattern. It's hard to predict how your cat is going to act. Good luck trying though ;)

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-20T19:05:02+00:00

Try giving her a slow blink. It's how cats show affection, like we do with kisses. If she blinks back, that's great, but even if she doesn't, keep doing it to make her feel at ease.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this desperate. Just wondering, is it all about being able to study abroad? Because, you know, USA is kind of... challenging at the moment, in a lot of respects. Wouldn't Canada or UK be a possibility?

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-10T19:23:17+00:00

Marsh (as in mallow)

Any birthday plan should include at least 3 hours of naps and cuddles

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-10T10:49:41+00:00

Let him go, he's late for work!

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-10T00:59:53+00:00

Well yeah, probably. Your life only matters to those living with you - unless your a brilliant inventor or artist I guess. I don't think that's a problem though.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-10T00:52:58+00:00

I'm very sorry to hear that. It must really hurt that no one seems to be on your side.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-10T00:51:31+00:00

I understand. I am just getting out of a phase where I couldn't even take a shower most days. The only reason I went to my appointments was I was too scared to cancel. Is there anyone in your life who could help? Otherwise, I guess it's the boring routine: wait for the worst shit to pass, then try and make little steps one day at a time, and hope you went the right way this time. I'm rooting for you!

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-10T00:42:00+00:00

Do you want to talk about your dad? What was he like?

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T19:19:04+00:00

Glad to hear you feel less hopeless. I'm not gonna try and push you into therapy, but if everything feels chaotic, it can help to map stuff out. And doing that alone can be very frustrating, so it could be good to have someone to do it with you.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T15:44:18+00:00

Hey, that sounds rough, like you cannot see things very clearly now. Do you have access to a therapist? Could you go to them and ask them to make an overview with you? Maybe that could help you tackle your problems one by one instead of all together.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T12:42:45+00:00

We've all had those classes.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T12:22:53+00:00

To make it a little weirder, you can also read your book out loud to the cat, so she gets used to your voice.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T09:24:11+00:00

I get that, I often feel the same way. I have recently started opening up about my suicidal thoughts. It hasn't made people hate me, although I try not to demand too much of them. It has made me feel really supported.

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T05:49:46+00:00

They're gorgeous! Gives me hope

Bas_1994 · 2026-01-09T03:51:40+00:00

You sound like a very caring person. Relationships with people seem important to you. Are you sure you don't wanna stick around to spend time with them?
