Having been at mental rock bottom myself I'll spare you the uplifting words. You won't feel them. I got out of that shit using logic and problem solving skills and a ton of help.
I don't think from what you wrote that you really have tried all available resources and possibilities to solve your problems.
There is usually help available from charities and the like to support you with applying for social security benefits and aid. Those people know that stuff well. Have you applied for disability? Mental counts. There is lots of stuff you can do that you don't know about.
Don't be too proud to get help from anyone you know. Family, friends etc. Don't be overly dramatic but also don't hide your problems.
I think before you consider ending your life you might as well try all the other options. Because that option is rather irreversible. You don't see a way out right now. But the final option doesn't go away. You say you think you'll end up homeless. Now you aren't. So try a few things now while it isn't too late.
And while depressed you never think anything works. The depressed emotional state makes you very much not objective. You twist everything into a bad light. Keep trying to find solutions and seeking help. Might still work. Did for me. I didn't believe it would but I tried anyway.
I have tried, I can't find a charity that will help me because this isn't something that is written in their agenda. Sadly there is no existing charity that helps ADHD/ autistic people with my problems. I have gone to doctors but they don't seem me to be disabled enough. I have also talked to friends who are actually on disability support in Australia and the support is so limited, there's really not much point in trying. There's a lot of hoops to jump through to qualify, and I'm better off using that energy to find work.
You don't know anything about my family situation. I can't ask money from them. Nor can I ask my friends for money because I'm not going to stoop that low. My friends have already tried to help me as much as they can. I've lost friends because I've been too much. Some came to help me when I didn't ask for it and because it was too much for them, they ghosted me. My friends are not mental health professionals or social workers. I can't put the burden of helping a disabled person like myself on them. But you know what mental health professionals and social workers have not been trained on how to deal with people like me either. So yea there has been no options for me.
If the system has worked for you and helped you when you were at your lowest that's great but it hasn't worked for me
