I was diagnosed with depression when I was about 11 Im now 29 and in March of 2006 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder too. January2nd I checked myself into the hospital and I think that it was the best thing I could of done. I think God showed me the way there to find out what I needed to do. Everyone in the hospital was having ECT treatments done. I will have my 1st one done on Monday and Im more excited than scared. I prayy that these treatments will help. I just need people to talk to outside because I feel that this disease is starting to take over everthing in my life. I eat dream and breathe depression.
Hi, I was also diagnosed with depression early, I think at 16, anyway I am also 29 now and my diagnosis has changed to bipolar disorder. I don't really understand it and I've never had any manic episodes, but I do have really irritable and "crazy" (funny choice of words-can't think of the right one) periods. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I don't understand completely because I've never had ECT, but I do know how it feels to have your entire life controlled by depression and I'll be thinking of you on Monday and I will pray for you.
