First time posting, but I've been reading for the last 24 hours and read this thread and maybe another one you posted about the psych ward (I got out about 6/7 weeks ago, so it's been on my mind a lot - they are rough places).
Lots of people have given information about ECT and are much more informed than me. I've never been offered it but it is something I have researched a lot especially recently when I've been so desperate and wondered if I should ask for it.
If you would prefer medications then it is right that you should be able to explore those options and try some out to see if any help you, even though it can take time to get the right ones or the ones that work best for you. You have the right to access appropriate care and they should listen to you and your preferences, and you've got the right to change your mind as well.
I'm sorry things are so difficult and painful right now. I am sending a lot of love.
