I am sorry to hear about your recent problems. Please know that you have a whole lot of people here to support you through this difficult time.

1day touched on something that I wanted to revisit. They have budget plans through the electric companies that you may want to check into. Also, at least SBC and Verizon offer budget plans as well for phone service. Please try and check that out. In the meantime, maybe contacting your local social services for additional help might be a good idea.
Dont be so hard on yourself about taking off today and spending it in bed. After the week you have had, I totally understand.

Please keep posting and let us know how you are doing.
