itchy temples

Is this normal?!

my temples (ie part of my head, not actual temples) itch a lot.

hmm...

 

not normal

 

it isn't?

 

no, it is not. I'm pretty sure it means you need to have sex with me, or send me nude pics

 

Omg, ROFL that was really funny.

 

haha, can't blame a man for trying

 

Never heard of that before - but if other body parts can itch, why not your temples.

 

Electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) has been known to cause the temples to itch

That's probably the best side effect!

 

I actually know someone who had that done, and it cured the depression. but he is definitely not the same personality as before, kind of surreal happy now

 

Go ahead and say it “vegans often mistake your friend for a vegetable”

believe it or not, he is actually more animated now. he's also in his 60s or 70s. I was just shocked that procedure is still in use at all

 

Love this thread. It rivals the uk forum for nonsense.

 

No nonsense here young lady - take it back to the UK!

 

Electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) is still used??
that's really scary. I don't think I would ever allow someone to do that to me, or a loved one. Seems painful and ... kind of a torture

 

Yep. But sadly, you might not get a say in whether you have it or not!

 

it seems dated to me so I was really surprised.. but the guy had chronic depression and anxiety, took xanax for 12 years straight or so along with a bunch of other drugs. eventually the drugs induced psychosis and I'm not sure if the ECT was done against his will or not.

 

Probably just acts that way because he's terrified they'll do it again.

Ever read One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? Good book.

 

heh.


i hear people are opting FOR the treatment. how awful.

 

yes I have, more than once. one of my favorite films as well. one of my dad's west coast girlfriends actually works in the hospital from the film. and the fucked up thing about this situation is the guy genuinely endorses this practice now.
