Diplopia is ruining my life?

This doesn't quite make sense. The problem with amblyopia is that you can't quit suppressing the image from the bad eye. If you have than it doesn't seem reasonable that you will start suppressing it again. First of all make sure that your double vision comes from your two eyes not working together. If you cover your bad eye, does one image go away? If not, you probably have astigmatism in your good eye and need glasses or contacts. If it does go away, you need to see someone else. It is worth trying prism or vision therapy to see if you can get the images to merge. If that doesn't work, you can do something to eliminate the image from your bad eye. A patch would be one solution. You could also wear an occluder contact if you don't like the look of a patch.
