So I’ve been having deep transcranial magnetic stimulation treatments daily for the last 4 weeks (I have 2 more weeks to go). When i started i was dealing with some severe depression and suicidal ideation. I had spent a month from January to February in the hospital. When i first got out of the hospital i couldn’t tolerate being around my friends or socializing or doing anything other than sleeping.
Well, the last 2 weeks I’ve been going to my clubhouse and have enjoyed being around people again. I go to bed at 9:30 and get up at 6:30. I’ve been participating on this forum and doing other social media. I’ve been taking my dog to the dog park. You know…living.
So…i don’t know if it’s a placebo effect or the snow starting to melt and having 14 hours of sunlight…but i don’t care! I think it’s the dTMS working and I’m just happy that something is going right again. I haven’t had any suicidal ideation or thoughts of self harm in almost 2 weeks! I hope it keeps working…I’ve even started to read again. Yeah, whatever is helping me, let it keep working…
With that, my friends, have an excellent week!
