I'm screwed.

this is one of those situation where you dug your own grave by not creating an emergency fund when the going was good

You can apply for unemployment if you reside in the US. That should be your first option

Copywriting or blog/article writing. Look through all Lex's stuff and you will be earning in no time. Still early days for me but I am quickly gaining momentum with it.

They are always jobs being posted on Upwork, PeoplePerHour or Fiverr with many being long term positions.

which one of hai threads are you reffering to in particular?

I've been there more times than I care to talk about. I can also say, though, that the outcome is entirely dependent on your mindset. Which makes it even more hard - if you have a negative mindset, you're already in a bind, and things will get worse. if you have a positive one, though, things like this are a normal part of life, a speed bump. No big deal. On to bigger and better things. It really is your choice, even though, from your perspective, you're more inclined to say 'f___ y__' to someone saying this to you than, 'oh thank you for your encouragement.'

The good new is that the outcome you want is in your head.

No ... go bust a$$ and figure out some quick money so you won't starve. (For this, leave no stone unturned. Physically knock doors asking for work. (I've done this, as an introvert, and landed a $50k job years ago). Tap your network, sell on ebay, sell your services, whatever.) Then, start doing something daily to improve things overall.

(When I say the outcome is entirely dependent on your mindset, that's what I mean. Entirely. Sure, there is random chance that can get you rejected for a particular job. However, over the long run, as long as you are generally a normal human, you can line up random chance events to eventually bend in your favor. But only with the right mindset.)
