I was in the depths of despair a year and a half ago. I could find no reason to go on. I was desperate and suicidal. I had tried all kinds of drugs, ECT, bilateral ECT, the gamut. My p-doc insisted I try DBT which I had tried before in a group and hadn't really benefited from. I found a DBT therapist, the three of us met together and I made a committment to try for three months, to really work at it and promise to keep myself alive. It worked. I've worked hard at it. You have to work hard at these things. It's no joke to be suicidal and consider leaving your family devastated. I also found that lamictal helps reduce suicidal thoughts. It doesn't do much else, but for me that's enough. There is help. You just have to force yourself to find the resources to look for it and to work on it.
