About to undergo ECT. Need Advice.

So I've been on fluoxtine, etizolam, lithium, endoxifens, desvenlafaxine, quetiapine, clonazepam and Risperidone over the course of a year. They put me on ketamine for a while, which worsened things. I've been admitted into psych wards as well. Nothing has helped even a bit and every day I wake up I have to fight to live. I've had around 6 suicide attempts this year alone, three being in the last two weeks. The psychiatrist strongly recommended ECT. Scrolling through this sub, I see people who's lives have worsened. Is ECT a sustainable option or are there any other available?
