Some hospital networks have charity programs where you can see a therapist and psychiatrist for free or on a sliding scale depending on your finances. There was a program like this at the hospital where I see my psychiatrist. You might also want to apply for Medicaid. If your not working and don't have income or substantial savings you are probably eligible. I have Medicaid, it's the best insurance I have ever had. Lastly you could try contacting a university and see if you can meet with a graduate student studying psychology, they might have a free or sliding scale program. If you have the energy to do any of these things I think applying for Medicaid would be the easiest and fastest course. You can see if your eligible or not so you can consider other options worse case scenario.

If your up late at night again it might be better to not do something that activates your brain like playing video games or watching tv. Listening to some relaxing/meditative music or eating a bowl of cereal without any distractions work for me.

If you really can't get help you might try getting some self help books for depression. It's kind of written therapy, I've found these to be helpful for myself.

Hang in there. If you have ever had one good day you know that change is possible.
Thanks for this!
