I had another ECT treatment today. When I woke up, I had completely forgotten that we lost our dog, Cash, yesterday. My husband had to remind me. Basically, it feels like I lost him two days in a row. This is exactly what I was fearing. I had a feeling that this would happen. I just need to make it through today. I’m taking it one minute at a time.

I'm a 32 year old married woman who has been dealing with Bipolar disorder since the age of 14. This is all about my life, diagnoses, and treatments. If you have any questions, just ask me. I hope that others with Bipolar Disorder or PTSD can relate to my blog and find it helpful.

  6. I’m sorry this happened to you. It is difficult enuf to lose a loved pet one time. But to have it happen again must have been staggering.

    Can you speak to other memory losses you’ve had from ECT? I’ve thought about it as a treatment for my depression, but I really do fear the possible memory loss. (Plus I worry it won’t be effective.)
