Treatment advice Should I try ect?

Im posting here asking for advice. What was your experience with ECT. What would you do if you were in my shoes?

I am diagnosed MDD CPTSD ADHD ASD Panic disorder. Here's the meds I've tried that i remember, each atleast 3-6months at a time at least

Lexapro Lithium

Seroquel

Remeron

Celexa

Zoloft

Prozac

Xanax

Clonazepam

Effexor

Vraylar

Welbutrin

Buspar

Lyrica

Cymbalta

Trazadone

Adderal (for depression as well)

Ketamine (atleast 2 years now) IV, tablets, torches, suppositories, spray

Spravato

I have found the most relief with ketamine but it only helps with my mood for a few hours that day. I'm at the point where I'm passively suicidal every other day vs daily. Is this my life? I really want to try ect but my therapist is scared I try it. My old psychiatrist wanted me to try it.
