I really just need a guide / starting point

...See more Long story short, I just can't get my stuff together. I have regular emotional / nervous breakdowns. Crying fits. I got laid off from my design job (in which I was making crap money anyway) and now I'm working a minimum wage job where I make 800-1k a month (living in Boston, my rent alone is 800). I've applied for new jobs like crazy and I am getting no call backs. I've redone my portfolio / resume / website a thousand times and nothing is biting. I owe a ton to the IRS because I took out money from an IRA to pay of my loans which were defaulting. Which bumped me up a tax bracket and I got extremely penalized because I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to touch that money. I don't know what to do. I have no health insurance. I need therapy I think, maybe even medication but I can barely afford anything right now. I can't get a new apartment because my credit / pay is so bad nobody in their right mind would give me a lease. It's affecting all my friendships / family relationships / romantic relationship. I've gained like 30 pounds since this all started. I'm so unhappy. I'm so overwhelmed. I don't know what to do. Where to start, where to go, who to talk to. I feel like I've pushed everybody away who I'd normally talk to about these things. I don't want to be like this anymore What can I do?
