I am lost in life right now: No jobs within my qualifications (college drop-out), mental hell issues, lack of access to money, no one nearby that can help, , can’t drive, etc (I live in Florida).

I could not deal with college due to being so badly triggered that I quit. I also have no job prospects due to both quitting college and not having much experience outside of a few things here and there that I can put on my resume.

What am I supposed to do? How do I stop feeling hopeless?

    I was in a similar situation. I’m not sure how it works in Florida or that even such social nets even exist there. But my life only truly began when I was set up in a program for housing and welfare. It was unfortunately me suffering a psychosis and then ending up in jail for a year for all this to happen. That’s where I got an official schizophrenia diagnosis.

    So, you would need to get help from the state through its healthcare programs (if possible). It seems one of your struggles is a mental struggle. I never got along well with my family due to one trauma caused and ignored by them during childhood. (I have plenty of other trauma outside my family). But only when I got my own place did my life get better, and that hope of living a meaningful life settled in gradually. It is the stability of our surroundings that creates the foundation for the stability of the mind.

    Fight for disability benefits that you deserve. There is no shame being on welfare. There is no shame in being disabled. The shame ought to be reserved for those who condone social murder.

      Someone offered me housing in return for helping out with cooking and cleaning (they also want me to do some data entry stuff), but I am iffy on trusting them because the stuff I have to enter in looked odd and this is a total stranger.
