Thanks!
I am posting from work, mainly working from a text file I spill random thoughts in while here so I can't call from here.
What about a friend you could ask to stay with just till you get more on your feet? Have you checked craigslist about people renting a room? I am not sure if you would have enough for that money wise. I get weird intuitions but are you sure there is not more to this then just wanting ot get out cause of the rent increase? If so I would try to face what is going on. I really though encourage you to talk to your LL even though it may be a huge struggle. Maybe you could have a friend or something go with you. I hope you hold to hope

So you can cruise the 'net while you're at work, but you can't make a phone call? You don't really want help if you won't even do the simple act of picking up the phone. Either you don't really want a solution to your problem, or you don't really have a problem and you're just pulling our legs.

Yes, I have one incoming line that I am responsible for answering, in addition to internet access. I love my job!
I am not really sure what help is needed as I can't really pinpoint the problem other than being a victim of my own poor judgement. I also don't believe in government charity.

I am not really sure how to answer the question but not wanting to pay the management company any more money and not wanting to live here anymore is the most pressing concern. I guess the real problem is decades of living in my own carefully constructed alternate reality which just suffered a head on collision with real reality.
I don't have many friends. They're all sorta scattered around the world now. Yes, I have checked Craigslist, and just a room (plus storage) comes out to more than I am paying now, especially adding luxuries I don't want or need like cable TV.
But I am not very confident of finding an acceptable shared living situation - think mid/late 30's male who has never had a girlfriend to get an idea of the kind of creep that is going to have to ask strangers to let him move in.
And thinking of my friends makes rolling the dice on strangers really little scary. Friend #1 - On parole with cops ocassionally tossing his place. Also has a habit of borrowing things and breaking them. I do not loan him things. Friend #2 - sells weed, Friend #3 - sex offender registry ( I believe him when he says he didn't do it, but still...) The only friend I trust to be honest, drug and drama free (though his own roomate problems made national news - no, really) also has never held a job in the 20 years I have known him, often lives in his car and is about to marry a 90 year old woman.
Which is why I am trying to just improvise a new living situation.

Wow, you have great "friends" indeed. Fine upstanding members of society. Time to grow up, young man ...
You have been given a lot of advice but you don't want to do any of them. I am not saying any of it is easy or pleasurable but in the long run may help you get back on your feet. You can't change the past or the mistakes you have made but you can learn from them so it does not continue. On a side note the post you made about the storage unit and hobbies. You may want to look at that and if you can make money off of it right now though it would be sad to have to sell after so long you may have to look at what you need right now.
