Collect unemployment and lean on other support structures. Learn about SNAP (aka: Food Stamps) and/or Medicaid, and use them as much as you are legally able to. Thats why these support structures exist. You are not lazy, you are not a burden to society. These structures are here to help you out in these exact times of need. It sounds to me that you've got a decent amount of work experience in IT or something? You should be able to find a job. Real world experience trumps college degrees (though college degrees are certainly helpful at getting your foot in the door).
