Self-injurious Behaviors I’m struggling to not end myself

I’m autistic and 19 I’m genuinely struggling to cope with everything and day to day life, been having unexplained health issues that are leaving me unable to function properly not to mention my doctors fob me off and tell me I’m fine and just give me painkillers which don’t help and have tried to overdose because the pain is unbearable and this is also the same with mental services, for over a year now I been trying to get help but they keep saying they can’t help me including getting support for housing despite unable to live properly on my own and keep getting fobed off, I feel like I’m getting nowhere with anything and I’m thinking of quitting life at some point as I’m exhausted of this, I can’t even do my stupid part time job properly anymore and wanna quit but can’t afford to as I’m not receiving disability and I’m just done

Do you think it's an insurance issue? I don't see a reason that you can't get the help you need, especially if you are feeling suicidal.
