Please help me make rent this month!

Hi! I sort of desperately need help at this moment just to keep a roof over my head, so please bear with me.
I worked for the same job for the past year and a half which, for the most part, I quite enjoyed. However, I did not have benefits provided and I was unable to afford to be able to get and keep health insurance due to my already stretched-tight budget. Therefore, I haven't been able to get the antidepressants I need to manage my depression and anxiety for months.
Because of this, the worst part of my job began to stress me to the point of suicidal thoughts creeping up on me once again. I tried to change the situation, but nothing worked. I hoped given the circumstances that I might be fired (it's not fun to *hope* you might be fired, but it seemed like the only way I would start feelin better again) but the work environment just got more and more toxic. On October 8 I simply couldn't take anymore, and regardless of the fact I had no savings and I knew I would more than likely not get unemployment, I quit.
While my mental health has improved somewhat since I quit and my friends have helped at least keep me in gas and groceries while I look for a new job, I can't file for unemployment and rent will be due soon. I also have other bills that I've allowed to slack while I search for a new job that I need to catch up on and I'm going to be running low on groceries soon as well.
I do have a new job lined up working in a sort facility, but background and drug tests mean it may be two weeks until I even start work, much less get paid. I simply cannot wait that long to pay my bills. And I definitely can't wait that long to buy groceries again. I'm still looking for a job just in case I can get one that starts before that, but I'd still be waiting on a paycheck.
This is why I come to you. If you can help, I would be SO grateful. If you can't, please share this link with others so they may be able to throw in a few bucks. Thank you for any help you can provide.
