In reply to Very depressed after reading article on rTMS, posted by Cecilia on July 3, 2005, at 5:36:25
Hi Cecilia,
It's okay to vent here. I hadn't heard of rTMS so I looked it up. You tried something that you hoped would work and it didn't. That isn't your fault. Everybody is different, what worked well for the author of that article, didn't for you.
It's like meds. I lucked out and when Paxil kicked out, Effexor XR helped. It's not for everybody, but it works for me. rTMS isn't for everybody either, like ECT. You are brave for actually considering it, it scares me.
My therapist does all sorts of different energy techniques (I hope this doesn't get relocated to alternative...) and I do feel a little better, but it's not like I suddenly feel great. Some people do, I don't. She just has to find what combined with talk will make me feel a lot better.
Wish I could give you the magic formula to what will work. Posting helps me a lot, keep posting, we're here for you. Online friends count as friends and we don't care what you look like. Though I met a bunch of people in Chicago and nobody was ugly like they said they were. Except me. That mirror doesn't lie.
