Everything you've mentioned in this situation is a valid reason to feel the way you do. That would put me into crisis too.
There are good people out there, including people that will meet you where you are, understand and help.
Sometimes you just have to hang on for dear life.
Survive by any means necessary.

Its just how do I rebuild my life from absolutely nothing
Don't trust people who think they have all the answers (myself included). Try not to compare yourself to other people, forge your own path one step at a time. There's only so much we can control. It seems like the biggest immediate hurdle is just finding a safe place to live and exist.
Try to ask for help wherever it's available. I'm not in the US but it seems like Seattle and surrounds is the place to be if you can get there. Bellingham maybe. Local FB trans/queer housing page where I live is still active.
Try not to let most recent social stuff decimate your self worth. If you're anything like me you've rebuilt before. It'll get easier with time.
