I am home safe thanks to a friend, but I have absolutely no idea how to go about dealing with this. The car is dead as a doornail but I don't know how to handle disposing of it. Never done it before. Any advice?

So tired and frustrated. This is going to mess me up so bad.

Depends on the problem, some fixes are pretty cheap. More so if you can do them yourself. Not saying it will be cheap, could be completely fucked, but best to know what’s up.

For what it’s worth I’ve done some fairly major repairs on my cars over the years, sometimes on my own, sometimes with the aid of a friend and a crate of beer. Between YouTube (Haynes Manuals back in the day) and two minds you’ll be suprised how easy it is to do.
