I've just seen that it has been 3 weeks since my last post. We can't have that, now can we? I've started Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT's). That's basically just the long name for shock therapy. They pump just enough electricity through your head to make you have a seizure. If you're luck this cures psychosis and depression. I've only had three treatments and it takes at least nine to work. The remaining six will be done over the next two weeks. The normal number is twelve, which will require an additional week. The most annoying thing is how much it screws with your memory and the huge-ass headache you get afterwards. They do anesthetize you for the procedure, but it's still scary. I will be being transferred to upstairs to a long-term unit regardless of whether the ECT's work or not since psychosis is only one of my problems. I'll live upstairs until I am well enough to move to a halfway house. I'm not sure what will happen if the treatments don't help. They're pretty much the last resort. I know what my doctor and my parents would say and that's to not even think that far ahead. Cross that bridge when we come to it. I suppose that's wise. I'll keep y'all updated as much as I can.
