Yeah, shutterbug, here it is:
Sherwin Nuland, the surgeon and author, talks about the development of electroshock therapy as a cure for severe, life-threatening depression. Midway through, his story turns personal. It's a moving and deeply felt talk about relief, redemption, second chances.

I hope ECT goes very well for you, Jenna. Let us know how you're doing as soon as you're able, okay? I'm sorry that part of your journal was lost, but understand that you/we have received real-time therapy from it, and continue to do so--it's lost but not forgotten. I think you/we probably remember more of it than we realize. Don't worry about ECT causing you to forget what you've written, which I kind of doubt anyway. Even so, the thoughts you've expressed in your journal have led you to this decision and that's what is important.
As bad as this crash has been, it could happen anywhere. So, I hope you'll stick around, but if you decide not to, please let us know where you're going, okay? Best wishes...
