If the Judge denied you the services of the PD then a determination has almost certainly been made that you can afford to hire a lawyer. My guess is that you own a car or have some asset(s) which the Judge determined can be sold so as to permit you to hire your own counsel. This is uncomfortable, and unpleasant, but neither unheard of nor is it unlawful.
However, if this is NOT accurate, then I suggest that you call the Judge’s Judicial Assistant and ask politely that your case print out on her/his calender for “report re counsel”. When you go to Court calmly explain to the Judge that you understand her/his ruling but still, you cannot afford to hire counsel and that you are merely in Court seeking to “make a record” of your financial status and the court’s ruling about appointed counsel in your case.
There are precious few things that scares a Judge but being reversed, and having to re-try a case, is one of those things that will usually make a Judge think long and hard about reconsidering prior rulings.
Just remember to be as humble and respectful as possible, and also that the Judge’s final ruling, no matter how ridiculous, stupid or inane it may be, stands, unless and until s/he is reversed on appeal.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
