Extremely DEPRESSED need Help

My application for work authorization (based on pending EAD) was received by the USCIS on October 16th 2017 based on pending adjustment of status.

On 12/22/2017 I put in a request to expedite may case

On 12/29/2017 On December 29, 2017, your request to have your case expedited, referral number
                            T **** **** , was completed.

On 01/03/2018 I contacted my local congressman office and they put in a request to expedite my case

Since then, crickets, nothing. No word.

I called the USCIS office and spoke to an L2 officer on 01/08/2018 and i received the most devastating and depressing news I could have ever imagined. The L2 officer kindly told me that now they EAD processing time is 6 MONTHS. 6 MONTHS!!!!!!!!

I have a job offer in which I begin working end of February and now I will for sure lose that job offer. I can't work or provide for myself, and not only that my travel documents have not been produced yet so basically I am living like in a state of nothing. I can't do anything.

Today, I put in a service request 01/12/2018 and it stated
**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **
As of January 12, 2018, your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application, referral number T **** **** **, is currently not assigned for processing.
**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **

Obviously, they said it could take up to 30 days for my request to be replied to. So no reply and decision on my expedition request, (not even congressman office got a reply), I won't get a reply for up to 30 days for my service request today. I will lose my job offer to begin working mid February.

I already know that today is day 88, and two more days is day 90, but the USCIS does not go by this 90 day rule anymore.

I am just so sad and devastated by all of this and I am wondering if anyone is going through what I am going through within this time frame?

Thank you
