Try to deprogram your brain to value consumerism and superficial comforts. Nurture your mind and take care of your basic needs so you don't die of exposure or starvation. The rest will come.

the meditations of Marcus Aurelius, and maybe the bible. At least you can still be a good person and if you make that the center of your value system you'll be ok.

Well for the first two, a decent personal finance book will help
For the third, anything that will help you develop some new skills
Without knowing more about your situation it’s difficult to say more
For the fourth, you will probably find the situation improves when you sort out the first three

Set For Life by Scott Trench. It's a financial self-help book, which may not be what you're looking for, but I recommend reading it because its the only book currently in this thread that will actually give you realistic advice for overcoming the shitty financial situation you've put yourself in.
