I agree with everyone's advice but for some practical follow up if you go to the E.R. apply for Emergency Medicaid while you are there. That will transition to straight Medicaid. Then you will have coverage. If you have any questions about benefits issues you can go to your local independent living center. There's one in every county of every state. Here's a list:

You're in my thoughts.
How I wished I were "a 21-year old woman and really smart." What a life I would have to look forward to. Instead, I have to be the 68-year-old guy who's not so smart.
Yes, off to the ER with you! There's a whole life waiting to be lived.
I hope you will soon have some good news to tell us.
Blessings on you!

Go to your local ER, they can't turn you away. You need help, you're suicidal. It's hard to help someone in cyberspace. You need to be on meds, this is not something that will go away with prayer or, disclosing info. Our docs do not read these posts. You haven't tried everything yet, there are many options, but if you do feel suicidal go to your local ER, they can get you on meds to stabilize you, you have to be willing to go. Do you have a family doctor? Here's a link about BP and ways to treat it. It also gives you a list of meds which you can take to your doctor. Family physcians aren't trained to handles BP for the most part, so bring lists of meds and other treatment options.
