I'm sorry to hear this and I feel for you. I don't know if anything I could say will be any help to you, but here it goes.
For me 2020 was a pretty good year even though it was very bad for many others. I was able to work at the site (when there was supposed to be a lock down), the atmosphere all around was quiet, and I was able to put money away due to a pay increase and some stimulus checks.
But then '21 came along. It was OK at the beginning, but then things started to fall apart. My job had changed and it wasn't welcoming. It got unbearable and then I decided to quit in early June. I had made plans on how I'm going to get by if I quit, knowing that my worst case scenario was to not receive unemployment. I thought I could swing it. But I ended up not getting unemployment (which didn't surprise me) but I'm OK with it. But then also I ended up not eligible for a state run program low cost insurance plan that I thought I would get and that was a shock to me. And now I'm receiving Social Security, which isn't that much, but it was a fight at first to receive it.
Since I had quit and retired (for now), it seemed like nothing went right. I thought that it would be nice and easy but it didn't turn out that way. So I felt like I couldn't do anything right for about two months since I quit my job. I don't know if this is of any help to you. This is what it's like for me now. As far as the prospects go for me, as being single, there's none whatsoever.
