I have been there so many times in my 60 years (53 of them as a working person and not always w/pay) but I have come to realize that there is no stability at this stage in the life of a capitalist system. I have come to understand that I will never have a long term occupation of any sort unless you count freelance. Which is how I survive now. I was able to get some seasonal jobs relative to my education and have enjoyed them and learn a lot from them.
It's scary, I know from long years of experience of reinventing myself too, but for some reason i have recently decided that I should seek out the things I enjoy doing and in the place I prefer and do whatever I can to make ends meet. I don't have much but I am thankful that I can live on minimal gains... because I have what I need to actually sustain the life in my body and enough energy to be helpful to others. I had to live in a dorm at my job last summer, I have managed to live in little cabins alone for decades, but when I was looking for housing at the end of the job, I realized I couldn't afford to do that in the new location. I now live in a nicer house than I have in quite some time, I have housemates but we're out in the sticks, where I want to be, now I have help with stuff that I would struggle with at this age. We're all the same age so we seem to have a commonality to our relations ship as a group. I didn't think I'd like it but I have been far more relaxed and I am finding more opportunities than the last place I was living for a dozen years or so. I'm using skills that I haven't used in a very long time and I'm having fun with them this time, I never thought that was possible before because I always saw using those skills as work, I guess.
I hope that there are opportunities that arise for you, perhaps some you hadn't thought of, and that they can lead you to a better situation really soon.
