<prompt> Human: I have never really posted on reddit before besides the odd comment consisting of two words but i have a serious problem and i dont know where to turn to and since i seem to have no options i thought i might as well ask on here.I am currently a third and final year university student in England, i however have been encumbered by huge financial problems, i come from a poor working class family, my mother a single parent makes roughly 14k a year which she uses to support herself my brother and my grandmother who works about 1 day a week. she receives no benefits and she suffered from debt herself so money has always been tight.However over the summer whilst i was back home from University, one incident after another occuered which required money to fix our only shower broke, our washing stop working which means we have to wash clothes by hand so on and so on we had no money to fix these problems and i had no money with which to help.I was given a 2k overdraft by my bank the co-operative bank which i had already sunk into because i had to buy supplies for uni such as a laptop before my first year started so when i started my course i was already indebt, however over the summer i was forced to take out several payday loans in order to help my family survive.the current situation i am in is that 1. i am 500 over my overdraft limit which means im down 2.5k 2. and when the payday loans are up for collection i will owe roughly an extra 1000, i currently have no money in my wallet except 5 in change which i plan to use for food. that being said i have been only eating one meal a day consisting of cooked pasta in order to survive for as long as posssible the fact that im in a manic phase of my bi-polar is helping with this, reduced appetite and allthe only thing keeping me from suicide is the thought of abandoning my family to poverty and the mess i created. is there any thing i can do or avenue available to me in order to give myself some breathing room, and preferbly get some food whilst i sort this giant mess out? i realise this has been long, so if you read this far thank you very muchTL:DR Student in the UK way in over his head and cant see light at the end of the tunnelEdit: Thank you everyone for your support, much of it i have taken on board and i feel alot more optimistic about my situation, i am in the middle of speaking to the companies who i owe money to some of whom will wipe partial amounts of my debt off and others who are offering me a refund on interest and charges whilst also setting up payment plans. At least for the mean time I have some breathing space.Once again, thank you all!  <response>: I dont mean to sound ignorant or condescending in anyway but have you tried applying for a job? Apply everywhere and work full or part-time.Most universities also offer financial aid which you could apply for but at the moment it looks like the best way to get out of this and create a sustainable lifestyle for your family would be to get an income asap even a part time job before you graduate .Best of luck with everything! hope you start eating tasty food soon, i know how much it sucks eating plain.
