What are healthy solutions to short-term agony?

Question

Hello, I'm happy to find a space with people who have/are experiencing difficult feelings that I'm having right now.

Me (23M) and my partner (26F) are long distance in grad school right now obtaining our Master's degrees.

She's been having a very hard time getting important medication and she's been hysterical for a few weeks now. She's suicidal and told me that she's going to die, but she can't muster up doing anything. When I talk with her she's worried about everything, but can't do anything to help herself.

She has other issues, but I know they're being magnified to a massive extent right now, and I hope it will be solved soon.

I am utterly drained. I'm skipping classes today because I haven't been able to do my work with how I'm feeling. Sometimes I catch glimpses of her, but I've hit my capacity for anything I can do.

I do not believe this is an impossible task when she gets her medication, but right now I dunno what to do. Any thoughts?
