Need to have Electroconvulsive therapy
I am not doing to well with my bipolar disorder and I am not responding to my medications. I also have PTSD. This past Saturday I had a really bad time, I was at a very low point and I just wanted to give up. I will be having electroconvulsive therapy after I get a physical and an evaluation. I am a little scared but I am so tired of the bipolar taking over my life. I just want to feel stable again. This is pure hell not being able to feel safe and stable. My psychiatrist referred me for the procedure. I have been on so many different meds and I just don't seem to respond. If it were not for my fiancé I probably wouldn't even be here right now.

I'm so sorry that medication isn't working for you. Good job being strong enough to keep pursuing treatment regardless. I sincerely hope ECT works for you. I was lucky enough to have the first medication I tried be effective against my life-long depression and it made absolutely everything so much better and easier than I thought it could be. I truly hope you can find a treatment that will do the same for you.

It's amazing and therapeutic that you've come far enough to be honest and forthcoming with such a personal issue. I think you've already begun the road to recovery. Me and my family are supportive of you for sure. Grats. :gj:
