<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

I'm at rock bottom Reddit. I've always considered myself a happy person but in the past month or two, things just haven't been good. Here's a quick list so you catch my drift:

- Early thirties, living with Dad, low on cash (after being on my own since college no problem)
- Laid off 8 months ago by a terrible company after moving states and leaving a good job to join them and "be a part of something amazing" 
- Gave dog to family friends who can provide a great home with kids and a huge yard since I don't have my shit together and am (at best) hoping for a tiny studio back in NYC if I ever find a job
- Had a great career on paper, good money, but felt like a phony and never wanted to do it forever - yet trying like crazy to get back into it
- Always longed for a different career but it doesn't pay unless you're lucky and good. I do work on it but lately it's just been hard to do anything. 
- Bad break-up a year ago, still not meeting anyone I am into. Haven't been this single since high school
- No friends left in my hometown. Lonely times. 

I think that's enough. I'm considering a new start in a city I've never been to across the country. Is that stupid? How do I make my dream (writing) into a living at my age? I feel old and like it's too late - but running back to the career I hated has me uneasy. 

For those of you kind souls who've been through similar experiences, I'd love to hear it - especially if you really had a break through and got to know yourself better. Became your dream, etc.
<bot>: Life got twisted upside down, no aunt to send me to Bel Air. Deep in the abyss and want to turn my ship around. How have you done this?
