If you have people you actually enjoy being around in Canada, move there. Tell them your story, if they actually care for you, they will bend over backwards to both help you and provide for you while you are going through this rough patch. I know you'll come back at this with something about not wanting to be a burden or you don't want them to go to the trouble, but stow that thinking for once because they will be more than happy to help you.

As far as your father and mother are concerned, if you don't like them, then write them off. Maybe that seems a little cold, but if they're not good to you, then you owe them nothing. You need to focus on you and you shouldn't feel any obligation towards them.

Seriously, though. Move to Canada. Inform your family there about your situation, and let them help you. If you can't open up to them about it, then perhaps you will at least feel better enough from the change of scenery and more positive surroundings will be motivation enough to find a job and maybe start meeting people at which point you can start paying your way to therapy (hell, maybe it's free in Canada?).

 

As an aside, the most important thing to remember about therapy is that you have to stick with it. If you have a bad therapist or someone you can't connect with and trust, then feel free to change it up; but when you find the right one, stick. with. it. It will be hard but you must stick with it.
