<prompt> Human: Background, context is usually helpful: 8.5 years ago, I was offered a promotion, corporate relocation, and it was supposed to a be a fresh start for my family and troubled marriage. My now-ex stayed back to finish the school year with my eldest, sell the house, etc., and then would follow. What happened? Lots. Now-ex came up one day, took the other 2 kids, hours later I was served divorce papers. He had managed the finances throughout the marriage, I learned I had nothing. He asked for spousal and child support, the house, etc. I went into a tailspin, grief, depression, etc. In the end, the week the divorce was granted, I lost my job. I found a live-in caretaker role for temporary housing. Stuck alone, I never thought that within weeks the country would experience a huge downturn and I would be unemployedunderemployed most of the next 8 years. When I got a good job, I rehabbed my student loans, but was laid offafter a year, ... again in 2012. All told, it would take me 8 years to find a comparable corporate job back where my kids were. Being unable to support myself and my family was horrible. Being a long distance parent holidays only, etc was absolutely heartbreaking. Bad things happened many, some good things, too. Time passed, I had hope for better times and with economic recovery, I thought I could recover, too.Recent history:I found a good job, back in the state where my kids live. I left most everything behind, to come back and get. I had words of encouragement the majority, and words of caution and fear the minority. The first hint of trouble came halfway on the drive, my housing 6 months rent free with a friend was not to be her grown son had screwed up and would need to stay with her instead. Plan B, a floor in the apartment of a former student for a few weeks. Plan C, a roommatehouse-share situation--financially disastrous and they turned out to be creepy hoarders. Im on Plan D, another house-share and have been here just days and its an unusual situation.About one month in on the floor, but not at the hoarders, yet, Im rear ended on a bridge. Its a no-fault state, and Ive got the cheapest insurance around. I now have whiplash, 5 bulging discs, and daily pain. Remember, the divorce and support? Though my eldest has been the ARMY over a year and is nearly 20, they never took him off my support. My wages are garnished for support as a standard practice, but the level is very, very high. I got the support for my eldest stopped, but the support level is not decreased due to the arrears from being unemployed. After support, insurance I carry it for the kids and taxes, I have 25-30 of my income left to live on. I now have a notice that student loans will be garnishing me as well, I needed to make 530month payment to them, but, hello unexpected health issue. My story is not done, I just got out of the hospital about 10 days ago. I had to have emergency gall bladder removal. I was hospitalized for 5 days. Out of work unpaid leave as I dont yet have accrued personal time of 8 days. My son in the ARMY came Red Cross and the ARMY were wonderful as I nearly died. The hoarders wouldnt let him stay with me to care for me, so we spent 5 days in hotel rooms. He moved me out of the hoarder home to the roommateshare situation Im now in.My bills I currently pay: support, health insurance, vehicle payment 14 months left on a very long, 6 year crappy credit loan, vehicle insurance, storage my belongingsboys things, phone, rent. Food is an afterthought. It took me nearly 4 months to save almost 100 filing fee and process server fee are 110 that I was going to use to file for a modification of my child support amount. Unfortunately, I had to spend that to get the prescriptions from my surgery. I have a 7030 high deductible plan 5000 deductible.I have tried to find a pro bono attorney to assist, but, none will help with support issues I called over 200 hundred attorneys locally. I dont have a 2000 retainer, for one that was affordable. I missed my first 530 payment for student loan due to illness, so now the garnishment will happen. I have sold my jewelry some time ago. I have attempted to get an additional job, but I travel inconsistently and frequently for my real job, and recovering from two major health issues has prevented this. I am grateful that post-surgery I have limited appetite as I have very limited food. Being nearer to my kids is double edged--Im closer, but now Im not in a position to see them, etc. I do not have the gas to drive to see my kids, and my ex wont meet me halfway, etc. its not a matter of time , etc... hes not working, getting disability, living rent free, and spending support money on guns but not meat for my kids, but thats another story. I cant transport them gas money or really feed them, were I able to bring them to where Im staying.I have life insurance with my job, hence, Im worth more dead than alive. I am quite simply with out any ideas on what I can do when my next check comes and I cant support the few bills I have. I can attempt to live in my vehicle for a bit, but thats perhaps all I can think of. I am desperate to maintain some stability housing, etc., as there are issues ex can buy things, but is psychologically abusive and controlling, and my almost 16 year old is at his wits end trying to stay there so as not to make things more difficult with my situation. As my title suggest, Im overwhelmed and afraid. Practical and real advice is appreciated, I just need a chance to get my life back on track. Apologies for the rambling narrative. Thx. Current locale is the Greater Tampa Bay area.  <response>: OP I have no advice, Im sorry. But you are not worthless. Please stay strong. This too shall pass, OP. I am so sorry for your struggles but you are NOT worthless.
