I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time. About ten years ago I had 30 bilateral ect treatments in 11 months. I remember little of that time, just a feeling that I was not present--that I was waiting for the real driver to show up. Ect did not help me, and since then I have wondered how anyone could tell if it was beneficial or not as I was more zombie than me. The good news is that in time I did return to myself. And apart from some serious long term memory gaps, I felt my brain restore itself so that I could think clearly again.
About feeling suicidal, I have always been glad that I held on. Hard, for sure. But, as you know, there are so many meds out there, in so many different combinations, that there is hope.
