Yeah, I saw my pdoc the other day after discharge from the hospital…she’s going to switch me to a different provider cuz she doesn’t feel comfortable working with clozapine. That’s too bad, I really liked her, but I need to stay on clozapine. I had an outpatient ECT today and it went well. My next one is Oct 14, then I don’t know yet when the next one will be scheduled. It’s helped me a lot with depression and suicidal ideation.
Sorry to hear that you have to switch psychs @WhiteRaven That’s a bummer. I hope your new one is very good. Glad that your ECT went well too. Best wishes to you
@Bitty , I just completed an intensive 1-year program with individual and group therapy, reading & workbook homework, and 24/7 phone coaching as needed. It was a huge help to me.
I didn’t utilize the coaching much until the very end, but I didn’t utilize the homework and therapy. It taught me skills that have helped me cope better.
Part of what we did was DBT therapy. I highly recommend it. I don’t have Borderline Personality Disorder and it still helped me a lot so I don’t think it’s necessary to have BPD in order to benefit from it.
