Depressed rant with suicidal thoughts (no plan)

I’ve cried my ass off all night and cried when getting ready for work. I hate being alive. I just want to give up.
I was suppose to discuss planning a day where I can buy a bike in order to get to my GP without my family knowing I’m purchasing anti-depressants. But my family wanted me to focus on preparing for my interview for a graphic design apprenticeship. It’s understandable, but it’s annoying that I had no time to treat myself because I’m having more panic attacks and mental breakdowns each work day due to being understaff because of labour laws.
