Tina, I understand how you feel about SSRI's but it doesn't sound like going it alone without meds is working out too well for you.
I think you said your doctor is a general practitioner. Do you think that maybe it's time for a consult at a university hospital? There are lots of non-SSRI meds out there, and you deserve any chance you can give yourself to have a better quality of life. One thing I've always been impressed about with DBT was the idea that suicide prevention isn't enough on its own, and that it's possible and imperative to help make life worth living. Meds or therapy or both, I think you need to insist that you get the help you need.
I'm just throwing out ideas because I'm worried about you.
