Money is unavoidable but you don’t have to do a typical career. Maybe you could try one of those English teaching jobs overseas, or be a nomad doing odd jobs here and there and traveling around. Lots of paths out there, and some might be more care free than a typical 9-5.

You definitely didn’t deserve what you got. I hope you can find a path that feels at least a little more like what you want to be doing.
