Has anyone been very suicidal and gotten better?

I managed to get to the emergency room, because I wanted so badly to commit suicide, but I didn't want to really die. I just wanted my life to stop. I was assessed and was provided insurance because I can't afford it, and was assigned an excellent cognitive behavioral therapist. We started talk therapy three years ago this June, and my entire outlook on life has changed. No meds. Just therapy for Complex PTSD from an abusive childhood growing up in an alcoholic home.
