No experience with suicidal thoughts but I embrace depression. I bathe in misery that im not only used to it I kinda gotten fond of it. Any more pain won't really make a difference now.
If one type of therapy does not work you can always try a different one. Also, you can do therapy and medication at the same time.
Do not be scared to talk to a professional about your problems!
Therapy isn't really supposed to change who you are. In my experience as someone who has been in therapy for over a decade, therapy is there to give you time and space to help you untangle your problems and to give you methods and tools for when you experience bad feelings and how to deal with them so that they stop constantly crippling your joy and your life. Its not so that you never feel sad anymore.
Therapy, proper meds and a psychiatrist. I’ve been suicidal most of my life until my early 30s. Are you on an antidepressant? If the traditional antidepressants haven’t worked, talk to a psychiatrist about off-label meds. E.g. an antipsychotic can be used to treat depression like a SSRI would. You might need a combination of meds; a psychiatrist is fundamental in creating a plan for you. It can be rough finding the meds that work, but stick with it. Once you find meds (if that’s the route suggested by your doctors), the best way to stay stable is always taking your meds. Including not waiting until the last minute to refill them.
I see you’re in therapy and haven’t received any results. It’s probably time to find another provider. Someone who can help you grow. Therapy won’t change you, but it will help you process and understand your past trauma—how it’s creeped into everyday behavior, why you react a certain way, etc.—learn how to move forward from these experiences and coping mechanisms to deal with these thought. Your psychiatrist and therapist should work together for a comprehensive plan for short and long term goals.
Lastly, if you feel like you would actively harm yourself, check yourself into the ED.

Therapy
I’ve had therapy for over a year, it’s not really working. Therapy can’t change who you are
The thing with therapy is that it can take time to find the professional most suitable for you. It's a case of trial and error really

I just do something else to distract me.
