Struggling with Mental Health and Job Search – Seeking Advice

I recently left my current job due to severe depression and suicidal thoughts, and there's a possibility that the government might fund my training for a different job. However, I want to prioritize therapy first, which has a waitinglist time of about 6 months (2 months fulltime therpay). Meanwhile, they expect me to find new employment, as I receive government social aid, (got 9 Months left before it stops, but only if I look for work), but my condition hasn't improved, and I'm sure I cant sustain long-term work like this. Should I take the risk and wait for therapy and look for work after? I'm also concerned about how I'll even find work if I'm away for 2 months soon or just no therapy and start working again? Seeking advice on the best course of action. Thanks alot!
