I am lost in life right now: No jobs within my qualifications (college drop-out), mental hell issues, lack of access to money, no one nearby that can help, , can't drive, etc (I live in Florida).

I could not deal with college due to being so badly triggered that I quit. I also have no job prospects due to both quitting college and not having much experience outside of a few things here and there that I can put on my resume.

What am I supposed to do? How do I stop feeling hopeless?

Cheapest way to do this – won't get all the neat plant chemicals – is hibiscus drinks + citrus fruits & apples. Get fiber with psyllium & chia seeds. Get potassium from potatoes, yogurt, protein powder, coconut water, powdered peanut butter, & potassium citrate if you can get it (chloride causes stomach issues). Frozen berries are probably (still?) the most affordable normal way to get shit like anthrocyanins and they have a lot of fiber too.

Beans, spinach, collards etc are amazing but too hard to digest, more of a side dish portion thing. I know this is heresy on this side of the fediverse so I speak quietly of it

You want to ramp up to 25-50g fiber (NOT IMMEDIATELY) & get at least 1/3 of your calories from protein (after thermogenesis which is just a % loss of calories to heat based on how hard the food is to digest, proteins have 20-35%). Focus on complex carbs for energy. This is just a rule of thumb as your protein needs are proportional to physique & the overall calories to your energy use (consider if it is a training day).

This made my anxiety less ridiculous almost immediately when I started, but it won't fix lack of exercise. Oh and intermittent fasting is really good once you stop craving sugar you feel way better
