My longest stay in the nuthouse was three months back in 2005/6. I ended up having ECT because I'd tried a lot of antidepressants and none worked. I ended up feeling better and most importantly, got my sense of humour back.

Electro-convulsive therapy. Yeah, they still do it, though it's improved a lot since they first started doing it. I lost a year's worth of memory when I had it, but nowadays memory loss is minimal.

That's a pretty bad injury, babybird. Must hurt quite a bit?

I actually think I might have a broken rib

I'm gonna monitor the situation but I doubt there's very much that can be done anyway

Often there's nothing that can be done for a broken rib. Sometimes it will be taped but I don't know what that does.

How did you do it?

I broke a rib near my sternum years ago. My flatmate and I were messing around and she fell on her back and I fell upon her knee. It took a week for me to really start feeling it because I was lugging a heavy bag around uni. It hurt to take a deep breath. I went to the doctor, had an x-ray and that confirmed it. There was nothing I could do except take paracetamol and ibuprofen if I felt I needed it. Took a few weeks for the pain to subside.

Oh no, BB. Maybe see a doctor anyway, otherwise you might be in pain. :cry:
