I just got a new place and it broke me, but I'm trying to get back on my feet and I need a bed. Any suggestions?

Sending up prayers for you!
I have two suggestions:
1. Do you belong to a religious organization (church, synagogue, mosque etc.)? Some have discretionary funds that are used to help parishioners in need. It is all very private and no one needs to know. Perhaps they can help you with either money for purchases or they may be able to help gather donations of furniture and such. You will also need help getting bigger pieces to you, so maybe they can help with time from other congregants.
2. Since you have a computer and are posting here, have you considered setting up a Go Fund Me or like crowd sourcing pages? These can be very successful as your friends and family always want to help but sometimes are afraid or nervous of doing something that may make you uncomfortable...this way, you are stating your need and asking for what is needed. I know from personal experience, people can be very generous and kind in times like you are experiencing.
Wishing you all the best! Don't give up hope!
I can only add that there are projects like Buy nothing where people give away different things, from food to furniture. They also have local facebook groups, so you can ask them freely if somebody have a spare bed or a mattress.
