Whatever other problems you have, this is the the one that you need to solve first. You need to learn how to manage finances - getting fired shouldn't be a catastrophe for someone in a role of lead (or senior) developer.

Also, at least in the US during non pandemic times, if you live in any major metropolitan city and your skillset is in sync with the local market, there are always openings for framework/“full stack developer” roles.

You just have to keep a strong network of former coworkers, managers, and local external recruiters.
