Hi Jo,
That sounds about right, I know what you mean about it being scary, you
taken huge steps though hon, be very proud of yourself :0)
With the utmost respect for your Mum, you have to be pretty "out of it" for
electric shock treatment to be given, I know this because My Dad also had
Depression and after he tried to commit suicide he was hospitalised and
given this too. You are not in that category!! OCD is a different thing ok,
so don't worry about that sweetie :0)
Big hugs to you, you've had a scary day! lol
Sani
