Struggling with Bipolar Depression: My Journey So Far

I’ve tried dozens of medications and I’ve also tried TMS therapy for my bipolar depression, as well as sleep hygiene and PT and nutrition. I’m trying to save up for the next treatment to try currently. It’s been a long road and I’m struggling a lot lately, been going through a divorce the last year. It makes me hopeful to see other survivors out here.

Did the TMS help any with your depression I’m curious I’ve read a lot about it but heard a lot of horror stories so I have been hesitant I get pretty bad lows it’s been pretty bad for quite a while for me I have been on numerous medications I have been mad free for a year it’s been pretty rough but scared to go back on meds because I had a really bad experience the side effects alone suck how are you doing I know you mentioned you were struggling but hope you are OK and in a safe place mentally

the TMS didn’t help me ultimately, I was really hopeful it would cause the studies and numbers were so promising but I’m the end after 47 sessions I was still really depressed. I encourage you to stay open to it and try it though because it has helped many people, I’m just extra rough, my depression is super treatment resistant.
