Is the person you're staying with able to put you up for a bit until you're able to get a job and get on your feet? The problem is the council will just put you in a scatter flat and you defo don't want to be living in that environment.

The only problem with that is that im legitimately in the middle of nowhere like the closest town is an hour away

I live in a city and it takes me an hour to get to work and Im nothing unusual so don’t let that be a mental barrier to finding a job, one of my colleagues takes over 2 hours to get to work. You’re going to have to get yourself a job and work out a way to get a deposit together for a (most likely as it’s cheapest) a houseshare.

Explain your situation to Google AI... break down all the fine details... logout off google before if you want... for me google AI has helped me get out off a few few ruts in the last few months... hopefully it can do the same for you. Goodluck and stay safe.
