You are having a really bad time right now. it's an excellent sign that you've turned to this site for some information and advice. I'm in Florida too (though Central Coast), and when I was finally ready for help I just looked up on the American Psychiatric Association website for someone in my area. That lead to medication and a recommendation for therapy. No clinics or hospitals; although if you are seriously considering taking your own life, you must call 911 NOW!
I have been fired from so many jobs. I was divorced after 18 years of marriage (no kids), made some very bad judgements in relationships and finally admitted to myself that my problems could no longer be drowned in a bottle or shoved under my hat. If you think you are ready for help, it's there. If you're a danger to yourself or others you must take the first step of accepting help.
I'm going to look for resources in Ft. Lauderdale. If money is a consideration, many providers are willing to have a "sliding scale" for those in financial straights.
Please hang in there, my friend.
