No problem, I just thought I would check in 🙂 I know what you mean about not being sure if it worked or not. I’m feeling like maybe it has done some good for me, but hard to tell. I guess even if it’s a placebo effect, it’s good if I’m feeling better, haha. No med changes for me at this point, as the TMS dr. is deferring to my regular psychiatrist and I haven’t seen her yet. I’m definitely happy to not have to run off to the dr every day at lunch! Thank goodness it was close to my office. The first few days after my last appointment, I kept thinking I was forgetting to go! 🙂 I hope things continue to improve for you and that you have no more rocky weeks 🙂
How are you doing Kat? Hopefully well!
Wow, this is so different than my experience. My TMS doctor has met with me roughly every two weeks and will meet with me on my last session. I believe the tech mentioned the other day that I will also schedule a followup for about a month after my last session. I’m sorry that you guys haven’t had the same experience. 🙁
It sounds like you’re definitely doing better if you’re not crying as much! That’s great! 🙂 I’ve been doing ok. Struggling due to the breakup, but nothing I can’t handle, which is good. I like your idea about writing down what you’re grateful for. Previous therapists have had me do that, and I did it at the time, but fell out of the practice. I will start doing it again because it does help to put things into perspective. Thanks for the suggestion. How are you feeling? My last session is tomorrow (Monday)!
Thanks 🙂 Yep, life definitely doesn’t stop! I’m glad you’re feeling ok! But yea, hard to know what it’s from when there is more than one variable. May I ask a more personal question? You don’t have to answer if you won’t feel comfortable. How severe is your depression? I know many people who do TMS have such severe depression and/or anxiety, that they’re not able to work. As I think I mentioned before, mine is mild enough that I’ve always been functional. I’m just curious because I don’t know if I’ll be able to clearly tell if this worked, so I’m wondering if you’re in the same boat as me.

Hi Kat,
Hope you’re out of your latest dip. My doctor said the same thing – that since new connections are forming and changing, that could have been what caused mine. I’m doing ok. I’m about to put TMS to the real test – just broke up with the guy I was seeing, and relationships/heartbreak have always been a BIG trigger for me, so we’ll see how I handle this :/ My last session is next week! I’m tapering now. I’m excited to be done. You shouldn’t be too far behind me! Hope you’re feeling good.-L
Hi Kat,
I’m sorry I’m just responding. I’m not getting email alerts of responses. How are you feeling now? I’m glad you were starting to feel better and I hope it has remained that way!
-LHi,
I think today was number 20 for me. I’ve been feeling better since late last week. I find it so hard to tell with me though, because usually unless something situational spikes a bad depression, I just have chronic low grade depression that I’m so used to, I can’t always tell that I have. I have noticed that I’m not nearly as tired as i usually am, which is a big improvement and I hope that stays! Any changes since the other day for you? I hope so!
