I'm currently suppose to be seeing a Therapist twice a week but That will take a few weeks to get in order. Then I am in the process of getting things together for ECT. Right this second I am living moment by moment. Then see what happens from there.

Hi Timeforhelp. I don't know how well you can function right now, but I get the impression that you are being too passive about solving your problem. It's very common to deal with the medical system this way:
1. Wait until you have a problem.
2. See MDs and get a diagnosis
3. Do what the MDs say to fix the problem
4. Repeat 3 forever if you are still suffering
This may be great if you have a broken arm where the MDs know what to do, but for PTSD and depression, they often really have no clue. Since you have been in and out of hospitals for 5 years, something is not working. I think you may be better off if you actively seek alternatives and try to figure this out yourself too. After all, it is happening in your own head.
Here's something that's interesting from the pure medical end of things for instance:

Also, if you're in bad shape and it's really hard to function, there are still things you can try. My favorite one is this

It's very easy to try this even if you're in bad shape at the moment.
