You are certainly overburdened with stress. The constant high level of cortisol, the stress hormone, has a negative impact on your general health, from affecting your sleep pattern to the relationship with your boyfriend.
I am most concerned about your suicidal thoughts. Depression is a chronic and serious condition that will not go away on its own, nor can it be treated with herbal or natural supplements.
Your depression may be circumstance linked, and reasonably so. I understand your plight of not having health insurance. But, you really need treatment, either counseling and anti-depressant medications or both. The problem is how to get you the help you need.
Is there a community clinic that offers mental health care close to your home? Sometimes, hospitals offer a mental health clinic at a reduced rate or offer financial assistance? Does your community have a social services department? As an unemployed person, have you applied for Medicaid? This may be an option for getting the help which you so desperately need.
I truly wish that I had something more to offer,
