I have not been in a relationship for some time and I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever be in another one. I have dealt with "the demon" for a long time and it's a burden that I have gotten used to carrying. My friends and family care, but the truth is that most people are not equipped to handle such a burden for any real length of time. Unlike cancer, this is an illness that does not end. I constantly refer to it as Chinese water torture. As you know, it wears people down and especially those closest to us (spouses, family, and friends).Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681167743419979031.post-63004961401473319452012-04-21T08:54:18.664-07:002012-04-21T08:54:18.664-07:00I just started reading this post and this quote st...I just started reading this post and this quote struck me. "She admitted not knowing much about it herself but thought it might be a good option." RUN ... DON'T WALK, but RUN from any doctor who says something like that. How can anyone think something is a good option without knowing much about it? What she was essentially saying was "well, you've tried everything else, why not this?" How can any doctor who supposedly cares or is empathetic suggest a treatment without a fair amount of research or thought, especially with a patient who has a history of being unresponsive? I wonder what she would have thought about getting a lobotomy?Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681167743419979031.post-36246397014727518962011-05-10T03:18:32.264-07:002011-05-10T03:18:32.264-07:00I personally don't put myself into the medicat...I personally don't put myself into the medication spin the bottle routine. I'm not against anyone for taking that route, because whatever works for you--just simply works for you. I won't go through all my reasons for my choices, but I feel ultimately that is my choice to make. I manage, some would probably say not that well, but I still fight. <br /><br />I'm actually amazed at all that you manage to accomplish while suffering. It's quite a feat just from the few posts I have read so far. I hope you do find something to give you some relief.

I wish I could arrange the posts in chronological order so it's easier to start with the first post. TMS was a complete failure for me. I don't know why. It sounded so logical. Don't be discouraged by my experience. Others report remission so I'm just part of that "other" percentage that doesn't respond. My best to you.4-Lornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04731350197969553175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681167743419979031.post-40222912707734526972011-05-09T02:44:23.045-07:002011-05-09T02:44:23.045-07:00Hi 4-Lorn!

Call it a quirk of mine, but I like the details.<br /><br />I watched some documentary months ago that had a small bit in it about this treatment TMS. Well I wouldn't say the clip talked about treatment for depression. It basically just showed how the equipment worked. Making someone move their hand or speak.<br /><br />I'm glad you shared this experience because it speaks volumes about how little we truly understand the brain and different factors that lead to depression.Running Circleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103256217542848565noreply@blogger.com
