Haven't been here in awhile. Not sure why, probably has something to do with the fact that I haven't been going to hot yoga, and therefore, have little to report. But there's been other stuff happening and I might as well share. I'm on my third and what appears to be my final week of ECT (electro-convulsive therapy). The treatments have definitely helped. My brain feels as if it's been zapped (literally) awake. Unfortunately, this improvement doesn't come without a price. Your short term memory takes quite a hit. Following a treatment I struggle with remembering the moments, minutes, hours before I was anesthetized. It sucks. You just feel a little "off". I feel as if I've gotten what benefit I can from it, now it's time to work on the other stuff again...hot yoga, DBT group, individual therapy, and spending time with my friends. I think I'll make my grand re-entrance (ha) to the yoga studio Saturday at noon (Jenn, my favorite instructor is teaching). Hopefully this will work out with our holiday weekend plans: we're going to see Adrian's parents up north. I've been working on knitting a shawl for his mother but I just don't think I'm going to have it done by the weekend, nerds.
I really have the itch as of late to go back to work. Badly. I'm going to talk to my therapist, Denice, today to see what she thinks. I'm so impatient...I just want to get on with living my life.

If it makes you feel any better, ECT is probably way less damaging than the "recreational" drug therapy I experienced in highschool and college. Got a lot out of it, but that may be because I can't remember most of my teen years!
