Get a side job working at a restaurant. It will ease your financial burden, from "The Brandon years", and give you a steady flow of hostesses and waitresses to get drunk with.

Sorry to hear that your are facing this challenge.
My suggestion with intent to make situation better is to reset on what life’s purpose is about, not what you Al have thought it was about - been aiming towards.
Hope and optimism don’t come from school you went to, your economic status, or the status apparatus that surrounds you.
Your purpose, inclusion in groups, meaningfulness of your life matter way more.
Find these. Ignore the BS that you were taught to believe.
Good luck.

Not trying to be a smartass, but do you workout at all. If not, start going for some daily walks and get a lift in. It’s great for releasing endorphins and changing your attitude on life.
Spend some time outdoors and join some kind of club to be around people. I’ve never met a family who said they were better off with a loved one disappearing. They love you and want the best for you.
If things do get to bad, call 988 just to have someone listen to you and guide your next moves.

Find a church.
Be involved in said church.
All your “problems” will cease being “problems.”

Just know that you are NOT alone. I’m currently going through a similar situation. But things will get better.

I’m pretty miserable too

Get out there.
I lived 3000 miles from my family and friends. I forced myself to join softball teams, bowling teams, flag football teams, whatever the frick teams work had. I never said no to an invitation or happy hour. I volunteered to clean up parks and playgrounds. I went for bike rides. I found people to play tennis. If I wanted to see a movie, I saw it and didn't worry if someone went with me. I did trivia night. I learned to snowboard. I would get in the car and drive to see something new. I'd go ride a damn roller coaster. I just never sat idle.
You'll always be alone if you don't put yourself near other humans. They aren't going to come to you. It doesn't mean you even have to date. It just means you have a place to be.

Hit your knees my friend and ask Jesus to wash you clean. Confess that you are nothing without him and give thanks for his unconditional love. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Your misery has worth. There is a why in where you are. Find your strength! Learn from it so that it’s not repeated.

start a chess.com account and learn to play chess
learn to tend a garden or just some potted plants/herbs or something if you don't have space
learn how to whittle or or carve wood
learn how to do some DIY projects around your house
join a bowling league
point is just try to find something that interests you and maybe find a group or something that shares the same interests to meet new people? as far as the romance stuff women can since that kind of stuff and are turned off by it so it'll come easier when you learn how to be happy or have a hobby you enjoy. no one wants to get with a depressed person unless they're depressed themselves and they just want to be depressed together which never really turns out to be healthy for either of the 2 parties.

First, I'm sorry to hear you are suffering.
Second, no matter how old you are (and you don't disclose your age), you can always find something to enjoy or a goal to work towards.
Third, you have to try to exercise and socialize, painful as those tasks might be.
Fourth, please seek out a professional therapist immediately. It might really help you.
Don't despair. There is hope. I'm sorry you are suffering.

Others mentioned it. It will be the best companion you can ask for.
Get outside, get some sun and exercise with your new friend. Def try to leave the toxic job.

Adopt a dog. I was in a similar rut with dating and decided to just take a break for a while, adopt a dog, and enjoy it's companionship for a while. Well, I would up really clicking with the girl who was fostering the dog when she came over to my house to make sure that I had a yard with a fence or whatever. Long story short, we're about to celebrate our 8yr anniversary and have a beautiful 2yr old daughter. Things can change overnight, and probably when you least expect it. Just do you and you'll find someone along that path, the one you're supposed to be on.

I think this way more than I probably should .
I relate to you a lot OP. I could’ve written something very similar overall.
Hope it gets better for you my friend.
Let’s just take this one day at a time

I’ve been this way several times in my life. I think it sneaks up on people. But somehow you’ve let negative thinking replace older positive ways of thinking and living alone doesn’t help. You have to retrain your brain. Make fun of things you can’t control and worry more about things you can control.
