Title: I&#x27;m at my wits end.<p>I was made homeless and had my financial support dropped at the beginning of the year, and am currently staying in squats etc in the Netherlands. I have nearly no income - 10 euros a week in donations towards an open-source project I&#x27;m working on to build a live video streaming platform for the fediverse, and occasional requests for solidarity funds.<p>My situation is... not great. Half my time is taken up by anxiety around police violence, illegal evictions, my friends being arrested. Still, in the immediate term, it&#x27;s better than sleeping rough.<p>I&#x27;m not sure how to find work; I&#x27;ve not had a paying job in the last 8 years. I&#x27;ve worked on software for myself and others in hackerspaces and the like; and helped run a volunteer cafe for a large portion of last year (sinking 20+ hours a week into that fairly consistently), but I can&#x27;t seem to even turn that into an actual paying cafe job. I go through bursts of sending dozens of applications a week to anything that is vaguely relevant to anything I&#x27;ve done in the past, and receive... mostly nothing in response.<p>I don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s wrong with me. All I want is to make enough money to survive. I&#x27;m going to be dead in a few months if I can&#x27;t work something out.<p>Does anyone have any advice, at all?
