[NYC] Sketchy sex spa sublease. unable to pay backed rent. landlord is currently waiting there to confront me and I cant dodge him forever. need advice asap please!!!

i am trying to move on after getting sick and losing my job. I had steady support to rely on in addition to working, and I started off being able to pay, but things spiraled out of control very quickly in the last 6 months and i guess i kept holding out thinking i could catch up. I feel terrible and i cannot pay what i owe at this point and I do not know what my options are. All the little expenses keep adding up, and over 100 in utilities every month was unexpected. I was looking for some advice. i guess i sensationalized the post. i am sorry. the reason i brought up the sex spa was because i am afraid that if a formal eviction process is initiated that it will bring attention to them and get them shut down or somehow get me in trouble too. i am young and I realize that i have a lot of growing up to do and a lot to learn. i didnt mean to come off as flippant. i honestly am at a loss for what to do or what my options are. i am terrified of being taken to court. i just want to figure this out while minimizing any more damage.
