Thanks for sharing! As a person living with depression as well, I think you’re doing a great job talking about it and that’s a good step. The issue with SSRIs, TMS ECT..and other treatments is the expectations that a lot of people have about their role. The fact is, they’re not going to change reality or alter your mind( hard drugs are good for that) but rather help you take the first steps towards Fixing the undeniable problems. My therapist described them as “ the swimming floaters when you’re drowning” but you still have to swim. Apply it to health, and you’re making the right choices. To relationships and you finally muster up the courage to even say hello to your crush …etc Also,social feedback is super important for self image but too often, we*(men) are very frugal with compliments so, feeling better might mean changing friend circles or area Let me tell you, you’re objectively handsome so bump up that chest and breath. I’m sure everything will be fine. Stay strong 💪🏾
You are so handsome. And your kindness comes across too. It is hard to believe you would have a problem in the world. So, so sorry you have been suffering so much in your short life. Wishing you relief that comes soon!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for sharing. Sounds like you’re going through some severe depression. I was in a bad way, ex military diagnosed with PTSD, major depressive and anxiety disorders. I was very recluse and withdrawn from others. I feel more like myself now, and others are noticing improvement in me too. I’ll post my own video at the end of treatment to offer my own perspective. It’s important to explore the variety of testimonials and recognise how varied results can be. Different from this gentleman, I did have brain mapping which is a measurable approach to progress. I’ve had good results after 22 sessions. I need 35 total. It’s saddening that this bloke is suffering after commuting to that treatment. I wish you luck mate. (By the way, the military covers my treatment, and I’m now being scheduled for a stellate Ganglion block injection to my neck. Pairing this treatment with TMS, I should yield good results
Are you doing rTMS or iTBS? Also what does brain mapping do to improve it? I did iTBS and it changed my "awakeness" levels so to speak, but did not have changes on the emotional side as far as I am aware
I start TMS in a few weeks. I’m a bit hesitant but also wanting to be hopeful. I’m going to keep following your journey as your depression/anxiety description seems the same as they way as I described it.
@@theliamexperiments306 Hi mate, TMS didn’t work for me. My summary is that is Hocus pocus (so wrong to say but.. 🤪). In a good place atm, let’s hope it continues. Off to Europe in a few months for a holiday putting my energy into that. Hope you are well.
You're handsome,,articulate, intelligent. And no nooneis looking at you. I wish I had all your gifts but the mind lies to us. DONT BELIEVE WHAT YOUR BRAIN IS TELLING YOU!
I am supposed to be starting rTMS soon. I have been on so many medications and treatments. I am hoping this is the magic fix. I am a vet suffering from PTSD, MDD, and anxiety. I am sorry this treatment did not work for you. Would love to know what treatment you have used recently and if it has helped. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah, GAD is a bitch. It covers the whole spectrum. Anxiety over absolutely *everything* . I'm so tired of it. Sometimes it feels like you're feeling okay just for a split second but then this heavy wet blanket of shit and misery comes. You can literally feel it coming from the feet and up, disgusting cold negative feeling. Stay safe my friend. It will eventually get better, or so im told. 🕉️
I’ve had 29 sessions so far. I didn’t notice a difference until the last few sessions. My level is 101 and it’s the 20 minute sessions. I am doing 3 sessions in a row twice a week. I am also on Deplin - which is supposed to help this treatment as it is some type of anti-inflammatory. My family has noticed a difference, and I no longer obsess over “unaliving” myself. I have 8 more sessions, and my dr is getting more sessions approved for me. I think it is working for me.
It doesn’t discriminate, it works. Some just need more than others to get that benefit. I started being receptive to it around 15 sessions, by 35 it felt like depression was just gone, completely. But I’ve just been signed for another 35 sessions, because about a month after treatment I started experiencing what I’ve heard people refer to as a ‘dip’. Since it’s available to me, there’s no harm in maintaining it to get a better residual. I’d encourage you to go to 120, it does get more tolerable with time. You want to maximise that therapeutic range. And keep an open mind😉
I feel sad looking at you. I had TMS 35 treatments. I felt terribly depressed and sad until i got to about 30 treatments. I would like more treatment but cost is stopping me. I feel better after it I am one month out of treatment. Ketamine is what I am now looking at too. I was quoted 75,000 AUD to have it. I am not able to have it too costly.
i have panic and depression, along with ptsd - i lose consciousness with my panic and cant tolerate meds - so im probably starting TMS next week but im not feeling hopeful .....
I have 7 treatments left of TMS, haven't felt any change. I don't really have any hope for it anymore. I tried 13 different medications and combinations before being referred to TMS. Only options left are Ketamine and ECT, but those both seem scary to me.
I'm sorry to hear that. I guess TMS just doesn't work for some of us. Don't be afraid of Ketamine, they will start you off on a very low dose to see how you feel, i'm sure you could request even lower if you like. Maybe bring someone with you for support. You'll be fine :)
Don’t go down that rabbit hole of mind altering drugs and ECT. It’s archaic. Results from TMS vary a lot depending on the individual. This poor bloke hasn’t had much luck, but it doesn’t mean it’ll be the same for you. I’m 22 treatments in, after session 14, things started to improve exponentially.
I get depressed when my vitamin d levels get low. Sometimes i forget to take it and when I get sad again, I remember. I also make sure my stomach acid is really strong, and I have pernicious anemia. Taking b12 injections is part of it. If i wait too long between injections, I feel ugly, paranoid and awful. I do tapping. You should try it. Yes. Tapping.
Why do you think an MRI would help target TMS? I had a neurologist look at my MRI and he couldn’t even find anything abnormal. He said MRIs are generally useful for people with significant structural damage.
I went in with positive vibes but after 35 it didn’t work for me either or the difference is modest at best. SGB and EMDR together is working for me. I understand that emotional pain feeling of low mood. But I am stubborn and just kept trying. 🤷♀️
@@theliamexperiments306 sadly I see some forums about people whose lives were “ruined” because of the SGB shot. How their symptoms got worse and how they wish they never got the shot. It’s a large community on Reddit and Facebook. Not sure how reliable those sources are. I’m just trying to be cautious. But really glad for you.
@@jaweileegreen4566 Hi so is not true that treatment?so whats the sense to do it and provide by doctors if it doesnt work? i have read a lot of things like ketamine,TMS, SGB and a lot of stuff, personally i believ God and i read Bible i dont want God get angry with me but im looking this things to see if they really help but maybe nothing works maybe the devil is lie in everything of this im so confused
I wonder if anyone trying Magnetic Stimulation, have ever tried the electrical brain areas stimulation therapy? It has helped me in my learning things that I thought were impossible after 18 years of studying Wei-Qi chess and got stuck at a certain level. Am purchasing a newer model. And hoping to start again, since I have got stuck again. I had read the military using this to ramp up their super soldiers to be able to do above the normal levels of calculations and visual acuity.
ruclips.net/video/xIxvkLjulSY/видео.html&ab_channel=Freethink Athletes also using this electrical stimulation, to enhance their need to keep increasing their ability to get better, even at the very top of their game.
@@theliamexperiments306 I am also recently starting to read or listen to very helpful books being read to me, from Psalms, Proverbs and John. Even when I am not using tACS or tDCS =constant current, according to different placement configurations based on my waiting for a new one. I had done this years ago. And got better, so I ended up falling out of this practice, but now wish I had not. I like the free online apps that allow me to listen and to read along. This method helps a lot, with whatever electric placement configurations. Or when not using it at all. So now, I start reading usually before I eat or etc. except running to the bathroom in the morning. I hope to start doing this before bed also. I am also trying to have it playing in the background on very low volume settings. Even if I can't hear it, at least it's in and around me. Really help me with anxiety, stress and depression. Much more than any drugs and therapy. And even as good or better than when I was taking a walk in the morning, a walk in the afternoon and evening. Though that helped a lot, also!!! :)
It hurt a lot, (so much so that I was crying by the time the full dosage was administered) and even when the dr changed the angle it still hurt. He also decreased the dosage to 100 rather than 125. But it still hurt. I’ve had 21 sessions and have decided that the pain is too much. It seems so crazy to put up with the pain. I found that the stress of anticipating the pain just didn’t make sense. I’m not sure if it helped. I’ve decided to do some sort of physical activity, if only for 10 min. I think that physical activity is a huge benefit if you have depression. It can also help counteract anxiety. I just want to experience joy and happiness as well as a more balanced outlook. I’ll keep on keeping on…
what results do you want from it, if it's just depression you need a goal in life that is worth while when you achive your goal and don't have anything else you slump quitting alcohol then other abuses, sexual & drugs etc. Fasting can reset your whole body if done correctly. mentally and physically you have to really abstain from everything toxic in life even talking negativly like swearing or thinking of other people as the problem instead of the way you look at things tho some people are the problem not allowing them to have dominion over your emotions is key.
@@theliamexperiments306 I am going to also try this !! I have severe social anxiety disorder. Traditional therapies (CBT and SNRIs) didn't effect me !!
When I heard of your story and struggle not only with depression but paranoia experiences I agree with you that it could be possibly schizophrenia. Fortunately thanks to the work of the late Doctor Hoffer and Doctor Osmond niacinamide can help in anti-schizophrenia effects but it can upset the stomach and that is started in purposefully in low doses and built up to minimize nausea side effects to be started at a low-dose to see what your stomach can tolerate that’s used in doses larger then a few hundred milligrams and it is used in half gram and gram doses often 3 grams or less and then there is Inositol Hexaniacinate in 500 mg capsules by Solgar that is expensive, that usually does not upset the stomach and less apt to cause nervousness but in the US it is a bit expensive in cost. Dr. Hoffer and Dr. Osmond also used about 3 grams of vitamin C a day to indirectly help their schizophrenic patients feel better with the other mega vitamin therapy treatments and if patients needed pharmaceutical treatments, they would get that as well, which the goal was to get them off, pharmaceuticals as quickly as possible or be at the lowest possible pharmaceutical, tranquilizer approach and if they were in early schizophrenia illness, then they might just be put on the mega vitamins without any other medicines. And you are right that different people may need different parts of the brain to be helped out by TMS and not a cookie cutter approach. With certain patients they used nicotinic acid niacin, but that creates a powerful peripheral, dilation and reddening of the skin effect for a few hours, early in the treatment, a powerful skin flush, which is a bit very uncomfortable but that is less apt to upset the stomach compared to niacin amide also called nicotinamide. The nicotinic acid and niacinamide does create nervousness side effects too. The problem with ketamine is that it can make all a persons symptoms worse if they have a schizophrenic illness.These vitamins in megadoses are often taken with a meal.And certain clinicians find that B6 and some other vitamins like folic acid helps in depression too as a vitamin helps in certain people with schizophrenia.
Hey, it does seem to do something for me, the days following i feel my focus has improved and i feel lighter/cleansed but i haven't given it a full course yet as i don't really enjoy the experience to be honest.
Sometimes other people notice changes that we aren't aware of, found that on citalopram didn't feel much at all, but apparently I'm easier to live with so
