My juicy three lever began to not spring back fully when I let go of it. I decided to bleed it (for the first time) but this made it worse. Now, when I pull the lever, there is no resistance and no breaking.

Can anyone please help me - and I'm too skint to buy new brakes.

seals are gone in the leaver making it sticky - you can take it apart and clean it all but its likely swelled so needs a new seal sadly its like this on all of my jucies and they are hokai

its the one where the pin off the leaver goes into - swells from stuff like wd40 - weirdly my 4 year old carbons only just started doing this and some relatively new 7s did it from 1 week old!

Any idea why the brakes are not working after I bled them?

you bled them badly and let air into the system, if your not used to doing them with sucking the air out and putting the oil in you can mess it up easily.
