Not a problem at all @CertifiablySane,

You are very resilient and should be 100% proud of that.

How did you go with your training provider? Only you know what decision is best for you and your current situation.

Perhaps you could post on local noticeboards that you're after any plants people have to give away or sell cheaply?

Have you reached out to any local community services (Salvos, Vinnies, Anglicare etc.) that could help with some food relief and/or some assistance with rent?

I have done a bit of research into supports available to you in Queensland, have you heard of a Rental Grant or Rental Security Subsidy? They may be able to help you given your current circumstance.

Rental Grant:

• https://www.qld.gov.au/housing/renting/rent-assistance/financial/bond-loan/bond-loan-rental-grant-gu...

Rental Security Subsidy:

• https://www.qld.gov.au/housing/renting/rent-assistance/financial/security-subsidy 

I also highly recommend the Ask Izzy website for accessing different types of support:

I hope that you can find the support you are looking for.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Take care,
