Can TMS therapy stop persistent tactile hallucinations?

I suffer from anxiety, some depression and have to tolerate awful tactile hallucinations. It feels like there's something clamping down on my head, and chest all the time. It's made it hard to focus, and it's also difficult to sleep from it. It's a form of psychosis that I've had to tolerate every waking moment of my life for the past 3 years. I was about to go get ECT treatment, but am willing to change my mind if this can work for this kind of problem.

I'm scheduled to receive ECT treatment next Tuesday and I'm a bit concerned

I suffer with awful tactile hallucinations that are just ridiculous. It feels like there's something clamping down on my head, and chest all the time. It's made it hard to focus, and it's also difficult to sleep from it. It's a form of psychosis that I've had to tolerate every waking moment of my life for the past 3 years. I'm going to an inpatient hospital for 2 weeks where I will probably have about 3-4 rounds of treatment for this. Is ECT the best option for this psychosis, or is there a better one? Because I've heard of people forgetting years of their life when taking the treatment, while others say it's only temporary. I don't know how it would be for me, and that kind of scares me. But this is the only chance I'll have for a while. The psychosis symptoms are bad enough to keep me from working and work requirements will be placed on Medicaid recipients by next year. So if I'm going to go for it, now's the best shot and possibly only shot I'll have.

How am I supposed to get ECT treatment?

Hi everyone. I suffer with tactile hallucinations that have made life mostly unbearable. I can get treatment for it, but only if I go to an inpatient facility. The problem is that I don't have reliable transportation and would need to go through Meditrans. And Meditrans is telling me that because it's an inpatient facility, that the hospital would have to call them. The hospital is saying that I have to call Meditrans to set up the appointment and that they can't call Meditrans to set up the appointment. What the hell am I supposed to do, because this is frankly ridiculous.

I suffer with debilitating tactile hallucinations that have made it unbearable to live. They clamp down on my head, can cause arousal, and are notorious for keeping me up all night randomly. I would rather die than keep living like this for much longer. Has this treatment helped anyone who's dealt with a condition like this?

I am currently dealing with negative entities that I can feel moving across my body. They can arouse me, make me depressed, make me furious, occasionally will keep me up all night and can even manipulate my thoughts to some extent. I've tried a lot of things to get rid of them. Angel magick, sigil magick, banishment rituals, and so on, but those methods haven't worked. My dad is insisting that I should read the Bible, and try to get closer with Jesus so that I can be delivered. That 'Jesus is the only way'. But what's ironic is that I've done something like this before when I still considered myself a Christian, and I got mixed results at best. It's like I'm making some kind of deal with Yahweh and Jesus that if I do this, I'm believing that they will get rid of these pest that are sabotaging me. But I don't know. I have so much baggage with the faith, and with the Bible itself. I find myself criticizing and mocking it pretty often, because of how much anger and disappointment it's caused me. What do you guys think?
