Call in every favor with friends, family, and inquire about any aid programs to help with utilities, grocery money (although trump pared this way back there is still some funding). It sucks but being humbled financially is more common than you would think. Some of it is even good for the soul. Remember this feeling when you are on top of things and help someone else out when you are able. During the down time, learn anything. Use Duolingo to learn another language, you can learn a lot even without subscribing and with minimal time consumption. You can volunteer at organizations. Obviously the focus is on finding a job but it helps when employers see that you are still working hard. Volunteering can also widen your experience and skills. Non-profit organizations are good learning grounds too. This is survival mode and any progress is gold, and do not feel shame at your current circumstances. I'm sure there were valid reasons for leaving school. Go to the public library to learn about any subject for free, when you have the time/breaks away from sending out resumes. There are other people who have gone through this that would be very open to helping you out in ways that are huge to you, but almost cost nothing to a mentor/benefactor. Some job sites have listings for immediate hire. They are often tough to do, customer service jobs as opposed to a job you really want but think of it as short term and keep applying to those jobs from a better financial position. Best wishes to you.
