Having suicidal thoughts (little bit sensitive content maybe)

This is a new experience I have never experienced before. I have tried to book an appointment with the university psychologist or counselling but it says “no booking available”. I have special on special exams Friday and Monday, due to illness before hand which I have now recovered from however I have been really stressed out and anxious trying to balance everything, and I don’t think I am prepared enough. My WAM is currently 74 as a third year I want to do a masters of chemistry but I feel very lost and stressed. But I don’t think this is just from, I was prescribed a cream for Eczema which I think was very strong.
(Maybe sensitive content)
I would like any advice I have been so stressed especially at night I have not been able to sleep at all, I got into my car and I have no clue on what I was gonna or where I was going. I called a help line but didn’t really understand me as it was 3am so probably from a different country. I wish I request to do withdrawal instead of special exams, I would have much rather done an extra semester than tank my wam with these 2 subjects. I also have never seen or don’t have a psychologist or don’t have a regular gp.

Could anyone please help me or give me advice.

I’ve also just used this as a way to speak I’m sorry.

Special consideration help

I had to apply for special consideration on my special exams, I got the results back today and is says

“Your application for Special consideration has been processed by the Special Consideration Team and has been allocated to the faculty to determine an appropriate outcome/s.” (It’s for third year chemistry subjects)

I’m quite confused on what this means as the message doesn’t say successful or unsuccessful. I mentioned that I would like to sit special on special exams and I understand that it’s based on the faculty decision, could anyone provide a rough time on when I will know what is happening please or some clarification. Thank you.

Please give me advice

I have been having panic attacks which I haven’t had since I was younger, I have exams in 10 days and I’m haven’t been able to study because of my panic attacks. I don’t know what to do, my friend said it would be best to apply for special considerations and try to sit supplementary exams. I don’t have a psychologist or gp I go to regularly so I don’t even know how to get supporting material or if it’s even possible.
