gp: and so it begins the curing process
soulbound: will it hurt?
gp: ...
it's better not to ask
soulbound: ...
gp: ...
soulbound: ...
gp: ...
soulbound: ...
gp: wanna hear me bash Matsuda more?
soulbound: no
gp: TO BAD!
I remember the day I met him... well actually not really.. but I remember a day me and j where outside and it was raining like death, hahahha jeez man might as well been a above ocean but thankfully my trench coat doubles as a rain coat for situations like that! but j had nothing they were just standing in the death rain all soaking wet... not I care for them and so I says, hey I don't want yah to get a cold I care about you, but you know her all "despair" and all that so I was mid taking off my coat when like a bolt of lightning ZOOM she ran off... now I care for her more then I hate running so I make a mad dash after her hahahahahha it was fun I was like "RJ COME BACK HERE I CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH AND WELLBEING WAY TO MUCH TO HAVE YOU STAY WET" it sucked though cause I'm not the runner type but I was determined so with the last of my breath I tossed my coat on her! and it worked but... what I didn't realizes was that we were inside so I just threw a wet coat on top of her for nothing... I still took it as a victory though it was fun after all, so we laughed it off walking inside and ol mat is there and I say my peace
Gabriel: AH! one feels like a duck splashing around in all this wet! and when one feels like a duck one is happy!
and then j being my partner in crime joined in and went
Junko: ouu ducklings!
hahahaha to which I go
Gabriel: too old to be a duckling quack quack!
gp: hahahahahahah it was funny mat was hating I could see it in his face he thought we were on stuff so she introduced me and
it was awkward, like you know how we are soul treat people with respect I'm not one for "insults of endearment" so needless to say the flame was started quick between us I bet his temper has to do with his family issues you see soul the problem with Matsuda is that not only does he have mommy issues but he also has daddy issues witch further caused toxic masculinity issues cause papa Matsuda when he was born decided to get milk only that milk was all the way In America in didn't suffer from early life dementia you see he puts all his emotions all tight in here points at chest then one day he'll die the problem is that he's a neurologist and not a psychologist or even a psychopharmacologist he thinks he can fix her by tinkering with up here point at head when all the problems are in here points at soul
soulbound: but she does have mental problems
gp: well yeah duh but it's not like she can get help if she dosent want it it's like cutting of a murderers arms! yeah it works but is that really the best you can do?
just like in ye olden days of doctoring they think they know everything that they won't even consider an alternative they just give the zappy zappy and the slicey dice and pump in the brain drugs then lock me in room and hope for the best, and that's basically what he's doing to her as we speak so in his honor I sing this ode to show his stupidity
[GP]
Give a beat
In a shabby little office
On a shabby little street
Sits a shabby little doctor
In his shabby little seat
Every shabby little secret
How he sure loves to betray
He will give you shabby treatment
Every night and every day...
Doctor Psyche the cut-rate head shrinker!
On mixed-up heads he likes to tinker
I only see him when my brain starts to snap!
This slouch has no couch, I hang onto a strap
He never got his PhD
In book-learning he really lacks
He ducked all his classes in psychiatry
Now he's known as the king of the quacks
Doctor Psyche the cut-rate head shrinker
On mixed-up heads he likes to tinker
And though by my stories he's seldom impressed
He's helped many women get things off their chest
He never got his PhD
His mind has been so hard to reach
His Freudian textbooks are something to see
With trading stamps pasted in each
Doctor Psyche the cut-rate head shrinker
On mixed-up heads he likes to tinker
I learned that his technique is oh so refined
From all my fixations he helps me unwind
And he tells me quite gravely it's all in my mind
Doctor Psyche the cut-rate head shrinker
Soulbound: gp! i asked a simple question! will it hurt?
gp: welll i guess if I where to describe it I'd say this
What problems can ECT treat?
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends that ECT is only used to achieve quick, short-term improvements if you have:
severe or life-threatening depression and your life is at risk so you need urgent treatment
moderate to severe depression and other treatments such as medication and talking therapies haven't helped you
catatonia (staying frozen in one position, or making very repetitive or restless movements)
a severe or long-lasting episode of mania.
Why is ECT controversial?
The use of ECT can be controversial for several reasons:
It was used unethically in the past. ECT was used far more in the 1950s to 1970s than it is today, and it was used without anesthetic and often without consent. This has sometimes been shown in films and TV shows, which may not reflect how ECT is carried out today.
It can sometimes cause memory loss. This is often short-term, but can be longer-lasting as well.
Some people are offered ECT without being offered other treatments they may prefer to try first, such as talking therapies for depression.
Professionals disagree about whether to use it. Some healthcare professionals see ECT as a helpful treatment, while others say it should not be used.
Soulbound: wait what was that about memory loss?
Gp: well you see some people experience more long-lasting or permanent memory loss, including losing personal memories or forgetting information they need to continue in their career or make sense of their personal relationships. Some people also find they have difficulty remembering new information from after they've had ECT
But I digress! I'm sure she'll be fine I've had it before
Soulbound: and what was it like?
Gp: ….
Junko:
In an instant lightning flashes and the burst might leave me blind.
When the bolt of lightning crashes and it burns right through my mind,
It's like someone drained my brain out, set my frozen mind to thaw,
Let the lethargy and pain out, while I stood and watched in awe.
I am riding on the brightest buzz.
I am worlds away from who I was.
And they told me it would change me,
Though they don't know how it does.
Depravity:
NO THEY
DON'T KNOW
HOW IT
DOES.
Junko:
I have lived a life of clouds and gray,
But this is crystal clear.
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
Wish I were here.
Junko:
I imagine it's remarkable,
Exuberant, austere.
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
Wish I were here.
Junko:
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
Wish I were here
GP:
IT'S EUPHORIA, it's anger!
It's the winter wind, it's fire.
Depravity:
IT'S THE
WINTER WIND,
IT'S FIRE.
GP:
And it kills their deepest hunger as it fills you with desire.
I'm the light and heat of every sun.
Junko:
I'm the light and heat of every sun.
GP:
I'm a bullet from a magic gun.
Junko:
I'm a bullet from a magic gun.
GP:
And I'm trying to enjoy it,
Junko and GP:
But I'm missing all the fun!
Depravity:
I AM
MISSING
ALL THE
FUN!
Junko and GP:
Am i feeling what I think I'm feeling;
The hope, the heat, the fear?
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
Wish I were here.
Junko and GP:
Is this someone else's head trick?
Do I just disappear?
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
Wish I were here.
Junko and GP:
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
Wish I were... here.
Junko: gabe? What are you doing here?
Gp: I aint here how could I be?
I'm dead!
you're just crazy…
Junko: this makes no sense
Gp: you would know all about that now wouldn't you miss "despair woman"
you're the one hallucinating not me
Junko: it's my treatment
it's a miracle,
everything's different now…
Gp: I know exactly what you mean
Junko and GP:
Plug me in and turn me on,
And flip the switch, I'm good as gone.
It slits my skin, and trips my brain
And feel the burn, but I don't feel the
PAIN!
Is my brain reborn or is it wrecked,
In freedom or in fear?
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
WISH
I
WERE...
Junko and GP:
Have I blown my mind forever?
Is cloudy my new clear?
Wish I were here.
Depravity:
WISH
I
WERE
HERE.
Junko and GP:
Wish I were here.
Wish I were-
And then it was done
GP:
Can they hide her stupid hunger,
Fake some confidence and cheer,
'Wish I were here'?
Wish I were here…
