Brokenfriend,
I'm sorry to hear what you are going through.  I understand your pain.
Here is a site that my doctor gave to me...
http://www.nami.org/
The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) offers a information and referral line. 1-800-950-6264 (Mon - Fri, 10am to 6pm eastern)
http://www.nami.org/Content/NavigationMenu/Find_Support/Helpline/NAMI_Information_Helpline.htm
With help from my doctor (MD) and the local NAMI affiliate, I was able to find a local mental health provider who has a sliding scale fees for people such as me with little to no income. Your local NAMI affiliate may be able to offer you doctors or clinic locations who also work on a sliding fee scale.
Here is a link to the Health Resources and Services Administration site to find affordable healthcare. http://ask.hrsa.gov/pc/
Please Brokenfriend.... Just wanted you to know since you are experiencing an emotional crisis, family crisis, and/or having suicidal thoughts talking to someone may help. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline has trained counselors available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Don't wait. Call Now! 1-800-273-TALK (8255) I have called this number... the people I have talked to have been wonderful. They listen.
You can also call 911, your physician, or visit your local hospital's emergency room if you believe you are a danger to yourself. They will help you!!!
You are in my prayers.... Please keep talking with us!!!
Abbie
P.S. If you are needing assistance in obtaining your medicine(s) if you look at the medications forum... you will see many links for medication assistance.
