You kind of seem like you are spiraling based off of your additional comments, and may be overestimating the situation somewhat. You seem to be jumping from A to E and skipping through all the other, easier things you could do.
I’m aware I’m spiraling but there’s nothing I can do about it here. Getting mental health care is dangerous now as the Trump administration already said their end goal is to take psych patients and put them in work camps.
I lost access to health care when I lost my job a while back. When I got a new job when health coverage, Trump came to power and I now can’t risk using it. Even if it goes well, they medication could be taken away at any moment and I’ll have to go through a sudden withdrawl again. I’ll lose my job if that happens, which means I’ll be worse off than I am now.
I need to get myself in a situation where it is safe to care for myself.
Get the mental health services for now. It'll probably help you stay more stable for the difficult planning and decisions that may need to be done. I don't think the labor camps will pop up suddenly enough to ambush many people. You aren't as cornered as you feel right now. Figure out your exit plan, figure out your threshold for when to run, and try to live your life and/or resist in the meantime. There are lots of beautiful places to run if you're willing to learn a new language. Spend some time reading about immigration laws so you'll know what to do. It's a little less scary when you know the plan in detail.
Getting mental health help risks shortening my available time to prepare. It creates another dependency that could make fleeing more difficult as well.
