Speak your truth.  All of it.  In order to be free, you must face your reality.  
Work.  Find something to do with your hands and your mind.  The world owes you nothing.  
Feed yourself.  There is no shame in flipping burgers if that is all you can do.  
Help others.  The world is full of those who need help, if only a listening ear.  
Have faith.  If you are doing the right thing, right things will come.
Honor yourself.  Eat right, go for a walk, play, sing, dance.  
Rest.  Allow yourself time to heal.
