Brain Update: Good News

Added 2025-07-07 20:07:18 +0000 UTC

Good news to report!

I started rTMS 2 weeks ago. It’s working! I’m gradually feeling better with each week that passes.

Near the end of week 1, I started noticing very subtle things, like having an easier time getting out of bed when my alarm goes off, instead of switching it off and falling back asleep.

Toward the end of week two, I noticed feeling a little more sociable/able to talk more.

And this is the beginning of week 3…I’m noticing I feel a little more optimistic in general. Things feel less “gray”.

My only side-effect is fatigue after each appointment. It wasn’t as bad in Week 2 compared to Week 1. Today starts Week 3, and I finish everything on Friday.

I’ve been working on a part-time basis these past few months and don’t know when I’ll be able to embrace full-time again. Eventually! But right now I’m trying to keep things gentle as I’m climbing out of this. Work is still getting done and I’ll still have new and finished pieces to share, so that’s what matters.

On that note, I’m looking forward to sharing some work (and hopefully some Picarto streams) with you guys later this month.

Hope you’re having a decent summer so far. Take lots of care!
