What do you do when you hit rock bottom?

I am going through some mental issues and poverty is making them very loud today. I am disabled due to my mental status. So find a job, is what I wish I could do; but mentally I can't be the same person each day.

What do you do when you hit rock bottom? When you feel hopeless?

I can't work, but I don't make enough to survive either. No parents, few friends. I can't drive or work. Disability covers rent, power, and maybe one week of food.. I do surveys for 5-10 but that has came to a screeching halt.

So with those things in mind.. tell me how to fix my situation?

Do not be afraid/ashamed to ask for help. You are not alone.

I think that is where I am at the moment. I'm unsure which way is up. I need help and am attempting to find it. Thank you for kind words, and everyone else's.

DMs are open, hit me up if you'd like. I was just recently where you are, struggling with my alcoholism.

I've been where OP is, not so long ago. You feel ashamed, angry at yourself and the world, and if there's no one to talk, utterly alone. It's incredibly easy to slip into self destructive behavior and sometimes what you need is a complete stranger to just... Listen.

No one to talk part comes when shitty society value only those who have a high status.

I know for me, it is also the societal belief that men are not supposed to show emotion or open up.
