hi there,
Can you try to find someone to be with right now, is there family around? i am worried about how you sound, I think you should go to an emergency room and tell them you are suicidal and you need help b/c you are feeling desparate. I can't help you with insurance, I don't know how it works.
If there is no one around to bring you stuff I would pack up a bag with your necessities. bring a change of clothes as well. They usually have laundry there. Don't call an ambulance, take your self there, try to find some one to come with u. They will (hopefully) admit you and take you to a unit and asks you tons of questions and then you can just sleep or whatever. They probably will discharge you when you say u are no longer suicidal. Please respond back so I know you are ok.
Don't worry about your family and concerning them, get help if you need it, they will eventually understand (maybe not right away) but right now the only person to think about is YOU. Get your self to an emergency room and take care of yourself. I will be thinking about you,
dragonfly
