So how does one get help with depression with no money or insurance?

So over 3 months ago I had an okay paying job that I busted my butt for daily. Then I got layed off. Now slowly my depression is getting worse. I have tried to fight it; remain positive, blah blah blah.....but the past 3 days I've hit a bad point...I cry and sleep all day. I don't have enough energy to take a shower. After several interviews and sending out over 100 resumes in the past months I ended up cancelling an interview today. I was up all night crying and then this morning when I tried to get ready I had a fainting spell which I haven't fainted in YEARS so it was back to bed after that one. SO here I am contemplating what to do??? Medication would be nice...maybe even some counseling, but without a job I don't have insurance and without insurance I don't have any money to spend on meds or counseling. So why do the people who need help the most can't get it even when they are reaching out. I am depressed enough and nothing makes me feel worse then knowing there is nothing I can do to help myself cause unless one has insurance or money nobody cares....I'm so tired...just tired..

Hello E,

If you have fallen on hard times, you may qualify for public assistance.

Take care.

Phoenix

I don't even know where to start for public assistance...does anyone know what to tell me? I am always helping others and have no idea how to get help myself..funny huh? Whatever, I need to get out of this rut. Its scary and I just need some support.

Hello E,

If you reside in the U.S.,contacting your local department of social services would be the place to begin.

Respectfully,

Phoenix
