    Realistically, if it has gotten to that point it would be for a reason(addiction, mental health, etc). You would have to address that reason. If you can’t then there are 3 options:

    1. You turn to crime. Go to SF, it’s considered a misdemeanor to rob anything lower than $900. This also applies per job so if you hit 2 stores and gather $899 worth of goods in both, the worst case scenario is a few days in jail. It’s basically free money. You can keep doing this until laws change.

    2. You try to get government assistance in some way. You may need rehabilitation so you would need to probably hurt yourself and go to a hospital. Then after that’s sorted, you need to figure out everything on the streets. If that means going to a YMCA, going through whatever process to get medical and food assistance, get temporary housing… you can basically live rent free as long as you clean up.

    3. If 1 and 2 don’t work, going to jail might work for you. Go and try to fake a serious crime and get arrested. You can then go to jail and have everything taken care of for you.

    If all that doesn’t work, you will need to put more thought into it. You could try panhandling, you could try to hitch a train to another area to live… most likely though you are going to kill yourself.
