Sometimes i think i should get chemical castration. My sex drive and my asocial behavior really contradict each other and this procedure might be the answer im looking for.
Breh even my miserable ass wouldn’t.
Please consider! Read some liter!
My cousin is going to begin Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) aka Electro Shock Therapy tomorrow, due to his major depression, and several suicide attempts. Has anyone here had this procedure done, or had someone close to them do it?
Wanted to know what are the pros and cons, or what he should expect.

Wow. I've looked into this before as a lot of famous writers have taken this treatment.
It is comparable to botox, in that it will have scheduled treatments throughout the year. Depending on the duration of effects on the person, they can last from 3 weeks to several months post-ECT. It is generally combined with previous medicines for a complete program while in-between ECT sessions.
Side-effects include memory loss, waking up with the anesthesia feeling, nausea, headaches, etc.
A swing of moods and personality to the baseline. He may be returned to 'normal,' as this is the most effective procedure concerning depression. That said, there is no guarantee and it reminds me of the trauma reset, I'm not remembering the psychology term here. Essentially, traumatic events and psychological suggestion can be reset by undergoing another traumatic event. It can also swing the other way. There is a Skinner's box paper that details this.
The treatment's intent is to remove the fog so he can use the medicine as his only crutch.
Has your cousin been diagnosed as a type of bipolar? I'm assuming this will be done at the city hospital, does he have insurance to cover the procedure?
Also, he'll need an escort post-treatment if he doesn't have one already.
Wow, thanks for all this info! Greatly Appreciated!
Unsure if he has been diagnosed with a type of Bipolar. I will definitely ask him.
He is at a psychiatric hospital right now and does have insurance. Unsure how much will be covered though. The Botox analogy helped a lot with my understanding of what he should expect for the long run. He has been battling this depression for so long now. Really hopes this will give him the push he needs in the right direction.
What's your method of doing that?
I know it’s easier said than done but we got to fight those bad thoughts and sad feelings

I hope things turn out well for him with continued treatment. I was asking about the bipolar because people that have that and depressive or manic episodes are more likely to be recommended this therapy. Rates are recovery are different between them. You don't have to report back on if he is or isn't.
All the best
Used to be blunts, edibles, alcohol, fapping or hoes.
Right now as of lately find something to really immerse in. Can be literature, informative YouTube video of subjects I’m very interested in even if it’s hobby based, music. Just got back into gaming because I was quarantining due to covid.
Right now I’m just bumping music while playing Jedi Fallen Order since it was on sale. shyts lit. I plan to read more later (got Pac’s poem book) and fukk around on my laptop.
Pretty much stay busy with something to immerse to. If you get bored find something new. That’s been helping me with those feelings that make me feel lousy cause I always fall for thots lol.
I'm sure she's addressed this, but therapy is a lot of work outside of her office. Therapists give guiding principals but the 24/7 work must be done by us. Meditation, journaling, acknowledging emotional states and general growth all take place on our own time. She can point you in that direction but she can't do it for you.
What are you doing outside of the office?
The adulterous acts I've committed to my ex haunt me to this day; I was so selfish and absorbed by my temptations/desires/feelings and didn't care to think that I was in relationship that gave me her world. But in lieu, I chewed it up and spat it back at her face. That supreme guilt of doing wrong to others when they deserved none is what really eats me up alive. We've been broken up for some time (will be 5 years this June) and I dwell on it frequently.
I sincerely wish her the best, but I'd be a damned liar if i sat here and told you my actions didn't create an irrepressible feeling of shame and guilt.
Only thing I can tell myself to do now is move on, be better and not let the past dictate how I maneuver in life... and always treat people accordingly.
Mama taught me better than that.
When you screw someone over, you're only fukking up yourself. And don't get it twisted, the cosmos are indeed watching and respond/react to every little thing you do.

I just thought it would be more informative and she would do more teaching about things I didn't know and using big words
She sexy as hell but not really learning much

Plus it's starting to really get to me how my bytch ass ex won't let me properly see my kid
I try to block it out but it's hard and I have no real support system in my life to cope
I see why people kill their exes now. I obviously wouldn't but I wouldn't drop a tear if that bytch slipped on some black ice and was paralyzed permanently
