please please help. I will try to keep it short because there is a lot to my situation.
Health conditions - COPD, SEVERELY ASTHMATIC, SARCOIDOSIS (Rare lung condition, something in the atmosphere that triggers my airways to inflame making breathing difficult) SXSCIATICA, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) I'm clinically depressed.. I have been in intensive care 4 times.
Whilst mourning my mother, my cousin committed suicide, he suffered with mental health issues, then my long term girlfriend passed away suddenly, 9 days later my dad passed away suddenly and then just 3 weeks later my nan passed away, this was less than 11 months ago.
I was in hospital with breathing difficulties 6 weeks ago, after spending 6 weeks getting better I moved to a new flat, I had to leave everything I owned behind and be moved under police safeguarding, because I'm disabled I'm no longer able to work and I'm now on benefits. The government was going to help me with furniture for the living room bedroom kitchen and toilet, they would help me with a TV laptop and white goods and carpet, unfortunately but rightly so, because of this virus they stopped deliveries before I could get anything, I'm at the highest level of vulnerability so I can't go out but I'm in an empty flat alone with no family and I don't know anyone, it's been almost 3 weeks out of the 12 weeks I have to stay in and I'm at the lowest point I have ever been in, I'm close to giving up, the silence and non stop going over upsetting memories is destroying me, I'm desperate for some advice where I might be able to get a TV or a radio to stop me thinking to much, some bedding anything really to make life a bit more barabearable. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really do appreciate it.
Kindest regards
sean

So so sorry to hear of your situation, my heart goes out to you.
Is there any charity you could get support from at all? Perhaps Shelter or Red Cross? I’d hope there would be a charity somewhere to help you.
You’ve suffered so much loss in such a short time. Have you been working with a therapist at all to help you deal with that?
As you’ve posted on here I’m assuming you have good access to the internet? If you’re looking for some distractions you can access tv online through iplayer etc and Netflix and also you can play radio online too?
You have been through a terrible time and to top it off now the virus, so no wonder you feel so awful. Things will improve for you though so it's worth hanging on for better days. Are you getting PIP? And I assume you are in the support group for ESA.
There should be a local fb group in your area with volunteers to help out the vulnerable so why not contact them to see if they can help? There could well be someone with a TV or radio they don't want and would donate it to you, or sell for a low price. Also look on EBay for any cheap deals. Or how about paying by installments? A basic radio is very cheap.
Meanwhile you have got us here. Stay safe and well.
What you have been through is just too much for anyone to bear.
I am so sorry to hear of your tragic losses, you must be grief stricken with no one to share your grief with and comfort you as you have lost your Precious girlfriend , parents and other loved ones.
This is so unfair.

About the present practicalities and lack of furniture :
I would contact your Landlord NOW.
Contact your MP 's local office.
Contact your Local Authority.
Shouldn't you also have a carer coming in?
Have you got food ?

I think the doctor idea is very good. Tell your doctor ASAP. Tell us too.
Have you contacted your Doctor or Social Services, you need assistance and even though with you been stuck for supplying basics for your new flat. Essential Services like above are still in operation . Why could you not take your furniture with you. Was the flat you were in was a furnished flat
