OP, you should try posting on Reddit if you haven’t already. There are subs where people can request money they desperately need and subs where people who are more familiar with homelessness can give better advice.

I recommend you get ear plugs if you haven’t already. Our environment is terribly loud and most people don’t realize how useful earplugs are. A pack costs like $5 but in your case I think they’d be worth it.

If you provide general location (like city, county, or state) and what you’ve already tried, maybe someone could direct you to more specific help like opportunities in your area or places where you can stay and people won’t rob you and treat you like shit.

Unfortunately I really don’t know much about homelessness except that it’s a vicious feedback loop (hard to get a job when you don’t have sleep food shelter security). Your story sounds reasonable and you have my sympathy, but I don’t have a solution.
