Seconded. All of this. I would add talking to your therapist about medication, if you haven't already. It doesn't need to be used long-term but it can be a huge help in times of crisis, as long as it doesn't become a crutch. A good therapist can help you minimise the risks. It saved me.
It's also important to find a therapist that you have a good relationship with, and can guide you through a type of therapy that works for you. My first therapist was completely wrong for me - too much of a psychoanalyst. My second therapist was great. CBT is the gold standard, but ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) worked better for me. It's kinda like a combination of CBT and mindfulness.
