Pregnancy Stress?

I feel like my life is falling apart, my boyfriend that I have been with for two and a half years kicked me out of my house this weekend, and I am around 8 - 12 weeks preggo. He gave me very little money and I really have nothing but a few clothes. The relationship has been somewhat verbally abuse for a while now, and I feel like now that I am pregnant, I have to think of the baby and the life that it would have if I tried to stay, or if I just walked away. So walking away seems to be the right decision. The only problem is, I am so stressed, all I have been doing is crying for days. I have no job, and less than $100 to my name. I have been staying with a friend, so expensives have been low, but I am not sure where I will live, how I will get money, and how I will afford pregnancy. I haven't been sleeping/eating well for quite a few days which I know isn't good. Just wondering some good ideas to help me take my mind off the situation, and to be able to relax. Any ideas?

Update:

I appreciate everyones advice with dealing with the situation, although, I am looking more for ideas on relaxation. I know that everything will come together in time, but I want to find something to help relax me. Right now I am very tense, and keep getting tension headaches, so I need to just have some calm time.

Update 2:

This is a message for Heather, first of all, I never did say that I was too good to work. I am currently looking for a job and have gotten quite a few leads today. I also will be getting my own place rather quickly. I think it is crappy that you want to call someone out for asking for a little advice. I know that I can make it on my own, I have done it before. All I wanted was some ideas on how to relax and my heartache, because I know time eases pain but some times I feel like the time isn't going quick enough.

    No one that hurts you physically or emotionally is worth being with. From one single parent (to a soon to be 'nother!) it gets easier, I promise!

    My mom had me when she was 15 and my father left when I was 3 months old. Times were tough, but we made it through. What relaxes us was to go for long walks and play games (finding the most money, funny sounds, A-Z sign games, etc.) Along the way we exercised and made memories. Make sure you surround yourself with positive people and go for walks to clear your mind. I know that when times get bad for me, I volunteer at local shelters to remind myself that I actually have it good and that I can make a difference in this world.

    You should take a nice long walk to clear your mind, you'd be able to get some fresh air and think your life and options over. I wish you the best!

    Good Luck!
