What did you think of the life purpose course did you find it useful? If you view the handouts as a means to an end it will be ok. Get the infrastructure in place by sorting the car and doing the fitness course. Then once that is in place make steps towards what you really want and if needed take up part time work. Don't be proud about accepting help as a transformative step. It is only when people don't use the help to transform is when they get caught in a trap. I feel the saying 'god helps those who help themselves' so keep helping yourself through the transition and you will make great progress to where you want to get to.
