Loved One Undergoing ECT
hi all, i just need some advice or help, or information, anything. someone very close to me just had their first round of ECT. they've been fighting anorexia and harm OCD for almost a decade now. this is their third time in-treatment hospitalization, but they've done ketamine and TMS treatments.
A few days ago they had their first round of ECT. a lot of stuff happened after they woke up but long story short they had to be restrained.
I don't know what to do. i've tried to do my research on ECT but i'd like to hear personal experiences from people who have undergone the treatment if anyone is willing. at this point i don't know if this person is going to make it, its just hard to hold out hope. im not trying to make this all about myself but i just dont know what to do. this person is my best friend and i never really imagined having to live without them, but i can't do anything to help.
hearing how they acted when they woke up and how they had to be restrained broke my heart. i cant imagine the pain theyre under and i feel so useless while they sit there in agony. i don't know what to do anymore. i know its a gamble with the internet when exposing very personal things anonymously but i just need to know what i can do.
thanks.
