Well.
Seems to me you have too choices.
Continue going the way you are going, which will end up in hospitals, institutions and death (from drug/alcohol abuse).
OR
You can either commit yourself to a psychiatric ward/hospital and get immediate assistance or you can go the softer route and go to a doctor and discuss with him/her treatment plans.
You are in a deadly downward spiral right now. You know this on some level I'm certain. However you may not be knowledgeable enough to seek out help, or you may be too 'tired' to get help.
I think your best bet may be to call the Suicide Hot Line: 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-273-TALK
Not only will they talk you through a current situation where suicide may happen, they also can help you with getting you in a position to where you can get local help.
I can't help much more than that since I have no idea where you live (thus I have no idea what public and private options for psychiatric help there may be for you)
I would strongly suggest psychiatric help now - they will give you medications that will help somewhat. However over the long term, a little bit down the road I would suggest a psychotherapist/psychologist and doing therapy along with drug therapy.
Have you ever wished someone would kill you? If so, why?

If you think suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, then what do you say when somebody has a permanent problem?

Is suicide nature's way of showing mercy? Knowing that if things get truly unbearable that you can just end the pain in an instant?

You're reading I am a 28 year old female. I contemplate suicide almost every single day. I have good days when I kick myself for being so dumb, but then I have days when I self-medicate with anything that will put me to sleep and I despise myself. Any advice? Help?

This is all excellent advice, but what if I have gone to the hospital, I have gone to my doctor and I have begged for help, and NOTHING! They want to pump me full of pills that only worsen my depression and then forget about me. Do I actually have to lose everyone in my life and attempt to take my own life before I get some help. How do I get the help I need?

Sorry I have not been on the machine for a long time now.
Pills are a start, then seek out counseling. The patient load of a psych Dr. is usually pretty high, s/he doesn't have enough time to actually figure out what is wrong with a person. The best they can do is treat with pills and hope the patient recovers. YOU need to seek out a therapist if you want something more than just pills. No One else can do this for you. Sorry.
