How hard is this to understand? If your needs aren't being met, the first step is to cut out your "wants" until such a time as you get back on your feet. That means, no donating to DU (and no internet, too!), no donating to political parties or candidates, cut out snack foods, avoid stores like the Gap and the like altogether. Then, if you still can't meet your needs, ask for help. Don't sit and bitch on the internet.
