I can ' t believe in America we have to live so close to the edge because of our deficits in the way we run healthcare . My suggestion a few months ago would have been to scrap and save as much as possible and then fly to some place cheap Philippines ? Vietnam ? and see psych docs there I ' m sure doctors speak English and meds have got to cost pennies to several dollars . I guess that ship has sailed . However , if you ' re looking at homeless shelters , you can go anywhere you can afford a bus ticket to . Don ' t limit yourself to just the closest shelter . No ? Sorry , my advice has no place for your ears . Godspeed . I wish you well . While I don ' t struggle with mental heatlh issues , I do the homeless thing regularly .
