I (f25) have basically been out of work since March. I used to work as and STNA at a pretty decently okay facility but I was having a lot of mental health issues and my boyfriend's (22m) mom told everyone at work that I had been cutting myself and made my already existing mental health issues worse. I went on a leave of absence so I could therapy and work on getting my issues in check and they fired me while I was on LOA. It took me a long time to get another job and not even 3 weeks in a broke my foot and they fired me. I have been applying everywhere I can think of, even jobs that I know would be hard with a broken foot. I know he is losing his patience with being the only one working and the only one paying bills. I understand how he feels and I don't know what I can do. My options are slim, with my foot being broken, not having any money as well as the fact of not having a car because I wrecked and totaled it earlier this year.
How can I help? How can I find a new job and what am I doing wrong?

If you work in the United States and are on a doctor ordered leave of absence, I don't think you can be legally fired. If you are not protected under the law, there's not much you can do besides let your foot heal and then get your shit together. I'm not trying to be insensitive to your mental health issues but sooner or later you are going to have to support yourself.
my mental health isn't an issue any longer. I just have a broken foot and there aren't really many jobs i can do with a broken foot.
You can do computer or office work
Where you don't have to walk around
I have been applying to everything i can find like that, most places either never get back or they tell me i have no experience in the field, which they are correct because the only other job I've had were i wasn't a CNA, STNA, CMA, or PCT (all patient care) was in high school when i worked at kings island and i was a Manager at atuozone.
You can't do computer or office work in a medical office?
no, i very much CAN they want people who have worked in receptionist jobs, worked WFH jobs, or in office settings and have experience in doing so.
Focus on finding a job where you can work from home
Sue your previous employer for wrongful termination. When you get a new job dump your boyfriend. He is toxic and led to you getting fired.
