I can't say here why she got committed, but she had a major freakout and had me call 911. They took her to the ER, took her phone away, and are sending her to a psych ward nearly 2 hours away from home for a 72 hour hold. That was about 8 hours ago; I still haven't heard from her. She said she'll call me as soon as she gets there, but I haven't gotten the call yet, so I think she's still waiting.

This puts me in an even worse spot. She's missing two days of work, which will affect her paycheck next week. On top of that, next week is always her "weak" check where she barely makes more than $100, and that's WITHOUT missing two days of work. And her card is locked so I can't do *anything* until she gets back. But it gets worse, because she doesn't have much money to begin with, and I'm about to lose my internet (we owe $68, and I keep having to delay the payment just to keep the internet going), as well as my phone plan which is due Friday (it's roughly $73). I also have no way to keep up with any household necessities or food, and we already went to the food bank this month. I can't go again until the 3rd Saturday of this month.

I don't know what to do. I *have* to keep my phone and internet to continue searching for jobs. Anything I can sell would probably only take care of one problem, but I have multiple. In terms of money strictly, I would probably need to come up with roughly $300 just to make it through until she gets home. I'm completely unarmed and my gf isn't going to be here to help out in any way. No work means she can't pull money from her check as needed, and even if she could, I do not have access to her phone or any of her bank accounts.

Short of me asking people to help me out, wtf can I do? Those bills have to be taken care of. Even if I can keep delaying the internet payment, it's probably going to be added to next month's bill, which means it'll be almost $200 just to keep my internet going. Without internet or a phone, I can't do much of anything to progress forward. Are there any programs or somesuch I could look into? I have two days to figure out how to pay our phone bill. =/
