Peeking my head in
I haven't been around the netterwebs for a while. I was going to do NaNoWriMo but I'm too far behind, now. I'm falling really far behind in school. I don't have the concentration that I'm used to. But mostly it is the ECT, I feel wrung out three days out of the week. I'm not sure how many treatments I have, at least seven. Sometimes I notice that there has been a difference in my mood and other times I don't feel it. Most of the time the feeling just doesn't last.
I just feel off. I'm not sure it is the ECT or just a symptom of my mood disorder. I don't know.
I want to try and peek in here more, I miss ya'll.

Damik!!
It's good to see you here, I've missed you. Sorry to hear about the potential side effects of ECT. How long can it take to recover from that? Have they given you a time frame? I hope that by the end of the treatments you're noticing a positive difference in your mood.
((hugs)) I'm sorry you are feeling off your game Damik. I really hope that maybe after the cessation of your treatments that your attention span may come back. Have you talked to your professors? My dad is a university professor and he tells me all the time that he wishes that his students would talk to him more. He struggles with mood disorders and depression too. So he is particularly sympathetic, but I find that professors ( in general) notice when the work goes haywire or late. So if you talk to them maybe you can get some extensions?
We miss you too. I've been thinking about you and rooting for you.
The holes in my memory might be permanent. I have an appointment on Monday with my pdoc to discuss the other effects.
I have talked to my professors and they gave me an extension to my deadline, but they can't make an exception for me after Dec. 1st. But I've talked to DH about it and he says I shouldn't stress about it so much.
Are you not able to take incompletes?
It's good to see you back here.
I've been thinking of you!
While I know you don't want to delay your graduation, please don't stress about it, OK? Your health is more important.
Sending you lots of internet hugs!
