Didi I feel for you, I can only imagine what you are going through at the moment, I've been in some fairly dark places, and thought some of the thoughts you are having. So please take this small nugget of information and consider it.
Therapy isn't just talking, not when it's done properly, it looks and feels like talking and that's the clever bit, it's guided talking that leads you to thinking, and asking questions of yourself.
Heres a crap analogy, sorry but it's the best I can come with at the moment.
Think about it like this, if you go for a walk in a city you'll see some sights.
Go for a walk with friends and you will see the sights they like and if you choose the right person, things they think you'll like too.
Go fo a walk with a trained and experienced tour guide and you may see the same sights but from different angles and get a more for filling experience.
Please find a trained professional therapist to talk to, about 5 years ago I started thinking about not continuing my life, I got help, that help had nothing to do with my body issues, but somehow it's helping me today 5 years on, come to be the person I want to be.
I've had multiple attempts at therapy about half were no good because the therapist didn't suit me, if it's not working find another.
I hope this message will resonate with you.
Good luck.
