I got a response regarding the medical bill. I was offered two things. The first was them lowering the 'payment plan' option from $250 a month to $180. This, unfortunately, was still out of my budget range. The other thing they did for me, though, which, at this point, is my only hope, is that they sent me a Hardship application. Basically, I'll fill that out and send it in, and, based on what they decide, from what I provide, my debt could be reduced or eliminated. This is the one thing I'm REALLY hoping works out. I've talked with my housemates and an agreement between us has been reached regarding my share of household stuff (rent/bills etc) if this doesn't pan out, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed here.

I'm fighting, guys. I really am... But I'm freaking out.
