As someone who was unemployed for two years and struggled with depression all his life, I would advise people not to underestimate the positive impact finding work can have on someone who's been unhappily idle for years. Seven years is a long fucking time. A long time to, say, be scared of going out in public, or talk to people. A long time to be unable to find the energy to get out of bed. That's what he's happy about. Picking up the pieces and getting out there again. Not being ashamed of his new shit job, just proud he's doing something instead of wallowing in the symptoms of mental illness.
Gonna reach out to a non-profit debt counseling service tomorrow morning and see what I can do. There's probably some sort of payment agreement I can come to. I'm just so bad at finance stuff and so easily overwhelmed in general.

Currently not paying rent to my mom because I can't afford to and kinda hating myself for it incidentally
Understandable, all you can do in that situation is help out wherever you can and make a genuine commitment to give it back later.
