Making savings last after losing my job, customer-service rep here

I have 8 months of savings and I am trying to stretch them after being let go as a customer-service rep. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am nervous about the credit card minimums. Did any lender work with you?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
