catch up...

So, for those of you who don't know what's been going on in my life lately... I will try to catch you up here real quickly! I have been having some problems with anxiety and depression. It had gotten pretty bad and I made a stupid decision to take a bunch of my anti-depressants. I panicked right after taking them and told Eric and my mom what I had done. They took me down to the ER where I was forced to drink this charcoal gunk. They admitted me to OHVI at Riverbend for a night, then transferred me to the Johnson Unit the next day. I was in the Johnson Unit for about two weeks. We adjusted meds and treatment options. I started doing ECT Treatments, which is where they put me under a general anesthesia and then send an electrical impulse through my brain, causing a seizure. I am going to do my last treatment tomorrow and let my body recover some more. I've had some retro-grade amnesia, which has been incredibly odd. The treatments have seemed to help some but I am losing some memory and am not as clear-headed as I was before. 

So I apologize to friends if I don't remember something that we had just recently talked about. My brain just isn't retaining everything that it would normally. For instance, I just figured out that we are going to Cancun in October! If anyone has any questions... please feel free to ask me anything. I will answer anything you want to know!
