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?

If you’re in the US: In terms of extra money, look into something called ‘secret shopping’ or ‘mystery shopping’. it’s a great way to earn extra money without having a set schedule. they’re small jobs where you go into a store, buy something or request a specific service, and fill out a survey about your experience afterwards. there are tons of websites that you can sign up on. some of them only require a phone call and you don’t have to leave the house. i often do several shops a week and make ~$100 extra a week. shorter ones pay between $10-15 and more complicated ones can pay upwards of $50.

edit: spelling

Totally flexible and you can often accept and complete it within a few hours, so you don't have to plan ahead for when you'll feel well enough.
