> What would YOU do in my situation to break the cycle?

  1. Get a laptop (Buy or Borrow)
  2. Get a gym membership (i.e. shower, keep up fitness)
  3. Apply for local dev jobs (work out of the library)
The main thing for me would be to maintain cleanliness and to find work in an office. An office job solves many issues in your case (don't need to find clients, they usually supply computer gear, a place to eat breakfast, lunch etc).

If you have a plan but can't afford e.g. a gym membership or laptop, then use gofundme or equivalent to get help from others to execute on your plan.

I mean, you could even just visit local tech meetups and tell them what you need, I'm sure there'll be some people that can help you out.
