Is there anyway to gain access to antidepressants as a minor in Missouri USA?

I (15F) have been suffering from extreme suicidal thoughts for several years, believe it or not. In the past I've been on antidepressants and from what I remember, they worked. I originally was on them at six when diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety by a therapist who I worked with for a few years. However I have since moved out of state and my parents simply can no longer afford to send me to therapy. My father has been unemployed for over a year and my mother is in medical school. Even if I were to be able to get a job, I wouldn't be able to get there as I live in the middle of nowhere and my mom takes our only car to school with her everyday. I genuinely have no clue what to do and there's probably a solution other than antidepressants but I'm just so tired of everyday feeling like more and more of a burden. I don't even know if antidepressants would work anymore / at this time in general. I'm completely at a loss for what to do now and writing this mid suicidal episode so sorry if it's kinda dumb or smth
