I'm very sorry you are feeling like this!. Most cities have crisis numbers you can call information and ask if there is one in your area!. There are also free clinics, hopefully in your area!.
You need a psychiatrist not psychologist!. Only a psychiatrist can prescribe medication that you need!. Try calling any psychiatrist in the phone book and explain what you are experiencing and your lack of insurance!. Don't give up the longer you wait the worse it gets!.
You may run into some who are not caring but there is someone who will help you if you keep on looking!. Make it your temporary job at home!. I have been there and wish you the best! Please don't give up looking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
