Can't you get unemployment insurance? When you say you were "fired", does that mean "with cause", or were you laid off? If you believe that it was the latter, but the employer says otherwise, you could challenge it.

If you can work a little off the books while collecting, you'll probably make out better.

Don't give up. Life is one long battle, and a job is nothing compared to your health. Just tell yourself that, "It's only a job".

If you need professional counseling, or job placement assistance, take advantage of any free services your local and federal agencies have available. Sometimes getting the boot causes you to get something better. You cannot apply too much, and you never know what's right around the corner. I'm sure that things will work out for you if you just have the right outlook.

Good luck.
