I've considered ECT too. I've heard that it has saved many lives, so you should definitively consider it if you're thinking about ending it and nothing else helps (that is if medication, psychologists and therapy doesn't help). It's worth noting that there can be some side effects in rare cases.

Hope it does you well.
I haven't been there but i followed my ex partner through it, and it did help her as a last resort.
It took sessions over a longer time with breaks in between of somewhat stable periods, but it helped her more in the end more than medicine did in terms of how long their stable periods were.

If you haven't done it, write down your passwords and important information somewhere safe.
trouble with memory is a side effect, but I suppose you already know all that. Despite that, I would say it was worth it for them.
