  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

The last time I visited a doctor, she wrote down all the medications I take per day (and all the previous ones) and asked me questions. She is not my therapist and I'll still attend him to know, but for now, I would like to know if any of you went through a therapy based on electroshock.

The doctor is an experient endocrinologist, so she was *shocked* to see the amount of meds that either lost effect or didn't help me as they should. Seeing how "volatile" and fragile my mental health was and worried with a micro tumour I have inside my brain, she suggested my mother for me to try a "therapy with electrodes".

My grandmother went under something like this to treat her cancer, because there was no chemo at the time... but the electrodes (or shocks) only left her blind and she died not too long later. I admit I'm scared of this and, of course, I need to talk to my therapist first.

But if I may ask, have any of you guys been under a similar situation? What should I expect (or not) from this, in both good and bad ways?

Thank you.

No experience, but I think I have a general idea of what you're talking about.
I think and hope that you're talking about relatively modern therapy. I don't think it's comparable to what your grandmother had, or historic forms of psychiatric shock therapy.

Ask your doctor about details. Then research the specific procedure.
