Jimmy, Stay!
Money could never replace a father. I didn't get much when my dad died from a cash point of view, but it didn't matter. It wouldn't have brought him back.
Don't get me wrong, we never had a good relationship. For several years we didn't have one at all. I hated him for leaving us for his girlfriend. I still struggle with issues today because of him.
But I am so thankful we became friends before he died. I can't imagine how I would have suffered had it not happened.
Stick around. I've said something like this before to another poster here: Life is like a big roller coaster. Sometimes we throw up all over each other during the ride. The climb back up is always slower than the ride downhill, but you will come back up. You'll just have to stay on the ride to get there.
Are you seeing a therapist or psychiatrist? I think you need to call them right away if you are. If not, please have your md refer you to one first thing in the morning. And if you don't think you're going to make it through the night, go to the hospital now.
Once you get your health issues taken care of, then you can focus on regaining what you've lost.
