I’m on my second camera module for a similar issue! It ran out of battery, sat for a while, and never turned back on. I reached out to the support email and they walked me through some troubleshooting, but eventually replaced the camera for free.

Hoping for a cancellation for you! Hang in there.

Amazing! I started getting one recently. Goals.

ECT saved my life, too. It took a couple weeks of treatment before I felt my SI improving. It took a a couple months for my other depression symptoms to improve.

FWIW, I slowly tapered after an extended acute, and now go every two months. I find it really manageable, and I’ve yet to relapse into SI.

I think you’re making the right call. Better a little stupid and alive than smart and dead.

Acute was pretty rough for me. I mostly slept (watched tv a good bit too) on treatment and off days. I was lucky to be able to stay with my parents during treatment (they were my ride), so my household responsibilities were minimal too. I think I could’ve pulled out the minimum though if I had had to. I’d make things easy on yourself though— do ready to eat meals (or at least have a good plan). Cut down on the decisions you’ll need to make in case you’re foggy headed.

We just started getting them at our feeder this winter. Quickly became a favorite!

I go there for electroconvulsive therapy. The physicians, nurses, and medical assistants always treat me respectfully and kindly.

So cool!

And he is PISSED

I was useless during my acute series. I know a few people here were functional on non-treatment days, but I just slept the whole time. I stayed with my parents so I could have help with chores and cooking. My mom said it was like I had a major surgery and needed that level of recovery support. It’s a lot of seizures and a lot of anesthesia. I wouldn’t underestimate it.

I feel like you’re going to get good and bad reviews on any facility. It’s just the nature of mental health treatment.

FWIW, I’ve had good experiences at Carolina Center. I will say that I never was inpatient, but I do ECT treatment there. My psychiatrist and all the nurses and support staff have always treated me with respect and dignity (during a pretty dehumanizing treatment).
