Need help with debt after domestic violence
#1
I survived domestic violence to the extent I had to seek help from the police. Then I basically found myself on the street, asking friends to crash on their couch. This happened during the time I took a gap year from work, hoping to go back to school. At first I had some savings but I didn’t anticipate that I spend them on recovering from the violence accident and seeking new housing. 

My current job only helps me to pay basic bills.
I realize that if I was in a better emotional state, I’d have found a better job with stable income sooner. Or at least could have found any kind of a side job to get any kind of money. But I am very exhausted with the family issues I went through during the past year, and struggling with depression. 

I’m doing my best to earn additional income, but still can’t manage my debt myself and already missed a few monthly payments.

The amount I owe is around 6,000 $: 
5,000 on the credit card + 1,000 I owe to my friends  and need to return to them ASAP.

Half of this debt went for the school application fees (TOEFL, GRE, fees for universities) and urgent dental bills I had to cover. Another half went for paying for groceries and some basic daily expenses that helped me to hang in there before I found a job.

I’ll appreciate any help. 

I also promise to return you the money you give me after I get back on my feet.
