I am going to be out of the Air Force on March 31st and I need to make a living!!! help me!!!

hello there. i am an Air Force Active Duty Airman but will unfortunately be released from service on March 31st. Originally, i am from the west coast and this separation was not planned at all. i was informed last month that the Air Force would not like to retain my expertise in my career field for a couple acts of carelessness that i displayed. i am honestly scared to shit of being separated and have no idea what i am going to do. uncertainty of the future is the worst kind of dread for me and i am desperate for answers. Should i go back home to california or stay in colorado where I am stationed? California is so much more expensive to earn a living than Colorado, and my sister said i might be able to live with her if she gets a new place! i have bills to pay and a future to plan, so what am i supposed to do without a steady pay check from the Air Force? I don't have a degree, but am very close to one, so my chances of getting a job in my career is limited!!! i'm am scared of the future and being in Colorado Springs, so far away from home, is really making me wonder what i will be able to do to make a living! maybe i am being a whiny little bitch, but these are valid concerns, i feel. I haven't relied on my family since i moved out at 18 and i am now 23. Please let me know if you have advice/help that you can give.
