If your situation is as dire as your post makes it sound, I wouldn't personally wait until July. Given that we've finally advanced into the era of more accessible tele-health thanks to COVID, you may not necessarily be restricted by geographic limitations in finding a psychopharmacologist to work with. Try searching for psychopharmacologists who offer "virtual" appointments or tele-health/tele-medicine services. Get an appointment ASAP, like next week at the latest. Why wait? Many medications require titrating up to a clinically effective dosage over the course of weeks, before you even get to find out if it'll have a positive therapeutic effect, then you may need to titrate down over weeks before you can start the next drug. While psychopharmacology is a "science," because of our widely differing biologies, it's a science of trial-and-error. Also, I know it's probably not something you want to hear, but it's not the end of the world if you have to spend another semester, or even another two or three semesters, to complete your degree. Life is long, and this is just a transient speed bump. It may seem like a big deal RIGHT NOW, but 10 years from now, it'll just be another one of those things you had to overcome in life. Try to relax. Focus on the things you can control, and try to not dwell on the things you can't. It too, shall pass.

I am in Denmark, getting an appointment with a professional of this kind usually involves a scheduling an appointment 10 months ahead. Instead I have an appointment with a psychiatrist in the country that my mother lives. The problem is that my funding is drying hence why I had to take a job that has me working 30 hours per week. I tried finding a FT job but it seems that smaller shops do not like me. A medium sized company told me that "they are afraid I will get bored and want to move on to something else". I have an interview with a FAANG company next week but I feel woefully underprepared for that.
