((((Elysium))) You have so much on your plate right now!

Regarding the job interview, is there some way to do that via computer with a camera? If not, can you stay with family etc, rather than move out there and be "stuck" there without money or a job? Try not to make any huge decisions during this time... except in securing a job. Can you take a smaller job for the time being, to help with bill paying. Have you called your creditors to tell them what you are trying to do, and maybe ask for extensions or other assistance? (I know even the power companies are willing to "average out" your billing over a year, that might help?)

Don't fret the small stuff right now, but do communicate with everyone.

The Self Harm is an old habit and those tend to raise their wild heads when stressed. Stay strong, you are. You won't need to fall back to that, I think, because you aren't at fault now, it's the way things are in the world. No need to punish yourself. You don't truly need to escape that way either, but have better methods (such as meditation?) to calm and find a center from which you can work for your own betterment.

Make a list, or do whatever has worked for you in the past to regain control of your life. Prioritize items. (I think a list is great because it always shows that while there may be a zillion things on the list, not all of them need attention right now.)

Keep looking for a job locally.... did you do that online too? Or some place a bit closer to the area you enjoy. You can get through this, though times are tough. Keep us posted here how you are doing. (I've always said it's not what you go through, but how you go through it.)
