Oh Chris I'm so so sorry you are having such a rough time. When you say self-destructive, do you cut or do you mean suicidal? I went to the neuro because of all this dissociation, probably psych but he kindly ordered an EEG anyway. I saw my neuropsych testing and that made me feel really bad, they probably were right to keep it away from me. We're talking a 40 point drop in IQ here, which makes me stupid and nuts. For some reason I can accept smart and nuts, but not that. My psychologist who saw me right after said depression has a lot to do with it in addition to the TBI, so I'm getting proactive and seeing someone soon about help for cognitive problems. But enough about me, why do you think you're feeling so bad right now, do you think it could have been the ECT- I hear that's a temporary effect, so hopefully you will soon be on the upswing. Scott gave me a new drug called Gabitril (sp?). Do you know about it yet? I truly know how discouraging this is, and how blessed we both are to have husbands and children. Try really hard to stay focused on that and know my prayers are with you.
Love, Judy
