How do you handle bills on unemployment? after 10 years as a store manager

My income is now a fraction of what it was as a store manager and I am trying to cover the essentials. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. The rent is fixed and the car payment is high. Did lenders work with you?

A paper list of bills by due date helped me more than an app. I could see the month at a glance.
