I'd like to express what MickeyCheeky wrote. Please don't give up hope. Though planning for changes is important, be sure not to catastrophize or dwell too much on what will be.
Do you collect any form of disability (SSI or SSDI)? Of if you're an older person, do you have any amount of Social Security or pension to live on? I know you said you're living off "nothing", but something, however small, can be worked with. If you are not receiving any kind of disability support income, that is definitely something you should look into.
I don't know how dire your situation, but I do believe people can and do find enjoyment in life living a very simple life. There are wonderful things to be experienced for free in life (love, nature, hobbies, community events, etc.) I have written about my emphasis on simple pleasures many times. They enrich my life and help maintain my hope.
I am not 100% sure how much (or if) I will really ever work again, but I don't know. I will not say I never will. It is my hope that I will. I will try to work towards that aim, but if I continue to savor my simple pleasures, as I can, I will hopefully never grieve if I don't reach all of my goals.
