I hope it will help me feel less anxious and keep me from constantly ruminating about my past.

I hope it will make me finally be able to read or watch entertainment without losing focus or having depression cloud my mind.

I hope it will make my brain undergo neuroplasticity so I can actually develop talents and potentially salvage my old dreams.

I hope it will make me finally be able to have a girlfriend at my age (31, turning 32) so the last 14 years won’t go to waste.

I hope it will make me leave the library job that is destroying me and making me waste my life.

I am where as soon as I wake up, I feel depressed and want to go back to sleep. I can’t keep living like this anymore.

So did you finally get your insurance to cover TMS?

Oh wow, that sounds really cool. I do hope it helps. Let us know how it goes if you are able to get it.

Thank you Edna for telling me what it is.

this is no instant miracle cure , results expected after full series of treatments have been applied , if you feel to go home and rest after the treatment that,will be normal,
avoid caffiene it will mask and improvement you get , drink much water after each treatment , resist speculating on treatments till you are done with them.
You will prolly get results before the end of series of treatments. be aware the need for single follow up treatments may come up. down the road.
That wanting to go to bed after you wake up is not uncommon for those with autistic burnout or depression... just offering my thoughts.

If it doesn’t help, I will probably finally commit suicide.

I miss being able to listen to music, play video games, read books of all sorts, watch anime (though I hadn’t watched much this year), and play my guitar without second guessing myself. Despite being depressed, I could do those things but COVID has taken my mental health to an even lower level.
