As a precursor, I want to say that I’m 95% certain that I have either autism or asbergers though never diagnosed.

Like the title says, I owe somewhere between $20-$25k, with $23-25 being my realistic best guesstimate. I barely make $30k a year gross, more like my actual net in a year in debt. I’ve fought this for years, and gotten within a few grand just to lose jobs, and have it spiral back out of control again.

I’ve havent been debt free since early 2019, slowly keeps just getting worse and worse. I finally had to break down and accept help for food stamps so I wouldn’t starve to death. This last time, (3 week stint), I ate a total of 6-7 times, not times per day, 6-7 times total in 3 weeks. I had to call my father so I wouldn’t pass away from malnutrion.

I have job experience as a waiter/server, food delivery, warehousing, clean health care pill bottle plants, John Deere world headquarters, janitor, you name almost any every level job, and I’ve probably done it or 90% of them.

I’m lost on how to get out debt. Probably be way easier if I could get a work from home job, but I’ve never gotten that chance. I used to work 70 hours a week, and it burned me out to the point I did collapse a couple times though I don’t tell people that.

My uncle is a very vey rich man, I’ve tried to ask for for help and his answer is to make it on my own. Clearly, I haven’t been and I doubt that I’m capable of such :( I’ve even asked for just food help and he doesn’t want to.

What should I do guys? The last several years I was working pizza delivery, I was making abut $650-$1000 per week, but a good $175-$200 of that was going to gas, then minus taxes on top of that. All of a sudden, that $30-$37k, shrinks rapidly.

I used to want to fix this I really did, I feel like I’m in a impossible spiraling black hole of debt. No matter how much extra power I find to throw at this to try to correct the path I keep getting sucked back in & into the dark void. I really don’t want to end things, but is reached a point where it might come to it. In addition to being in debt, I also have 2 payday loans I owe a grand on,I had spoke to a manager tried asking them to forgive the loan since I’ve already paid over 300% or 3x initial amount borrowed, and they kept cycling back to “well you agreed to the terms” yes, I did, but it’s created the black hole of debt and they laughed when I tried to first ask them, then played hardball with them and said I don’t have to pay this I could just go through bankruptcy again when eligible.

Oh I also owe like $3000 from 2020 taxes never paid, and I almost went to jail for 3 months for failure to register my vehicle that I’ve since sold to get by… I almost went to jail because I’m so poor…

I’ve got three options: 1-Ask my millionaire uncle whose son SA’d me 20 times growing up for help but I’ve tried in the past and his answer has been no, 2-I work 3 jobs if I can even get hired to that many, at 80 hours a week & work until I pass away from exhaustion 3-I just give up and call it a life.

I read all these stories about people getting out of worse, but most of them seem to make double or more what I do. I kinda barely make enough to cover the interest payments. I’m so lost I think I may just give up this time 😭 ,
