I hope these treatments help tim, now and moving forward.

Sending hugs to you, Dan and tim.

All the best!

Having to watch someone you love battle suicidal ideation is such a difficult place to be. We both know that we can't "fix it" no matter how much we want to. 

If there's one thing my chats with tim has shown me, it's that he's worth fighting for. If it takes ECT treatments for him to get to a place where his voices cease to keep those suicidal thoughts from taking over then it's worth every emotion it puts you through.

Too many times people tell you not to be scared or sad or angry or whatever it is you're feeling. To hell with that... it's ok to feel what you feel. 

I'm happy tim's treatments seem to be helping. It's not a magic cure but a treatment that helps. He has a great doctor and with the support you and Dan give him I'm sure he'll find the right balance for his mental health. 

Hugs to all of you 🩷

I truly hope these treatments do, indeed, help. Now and  in the future.

Best wishes to you, Dan, and especially, tim.

Thank you, Reader. tim has one more treatment on Monday. Then he'll spend additional time with his doctor during the week. He will evaluate and decide on next steps or follow-up treatments. What they call "maintenance" treatments are usually done once a week and finally reducing down to once a month along with talk, and meds.

I'm feeling a lot better now that we have a number of treatments under our belt, so to speak. It's the unknown that causes the most worry.  The doctors and nurses that give these treatments take very good care of tim. That's all I can ask for. 

Exactly, my feelings about this are of little importance. I think tim is feeling positive and he seems a bit less stressed about everything. 

We will continue to follow doctor's advice and hope tim continues to feel good about his life. 

Thank you, my friend.
