I am a 20F living in OH, with my grandparent and need help. At the start of 2020 I moved in with her as my parents were not able to keep me in the house anymore, (step parent got very drunk and attempted to attack me), I had a pretty good savings of around $4000. Beginning of 2021 something very traumatic happened to me and I had a psychotic breakdown and was unable to work until around June of 2021. After getting a job again I ended up getting sepsis from an infection and almost dying. Being sick and unable to work sucked all my savings and I wasn’t able to work until October. They believe I have POTS syndrome from the incident and I am on blood pressure meds as my heart beats too fast and I pass out without them. This has made work a living hell and employers are of course not understanding at all. I am also diagnosed with a multitude of mental issues that keep me from attending college and make work very hard for me as well, this includes autism/adhd/ptsd/anxiety/depression. I am on Medicaid and I plan on getting on food stamps. I don’t know if ssi is even attainable for me or if I’d even be able to save money on it. Is there any advice or just anything I can do to financially help myself? I am worried as my grandparent is very old and I need to assure I have a living space for myself when she’s gone :(
Edit: also should probably note that I am on job #5 this year alone just because it’s so hard to keep a job with my disabilities now, I am running out of options and time.
I want to be a computer programmer and maybe get a job where I can sit if I can’t get disability or some kind of help but I don’t even think I can without a degree, I don’t know what to do or what kind of job I can atleast apply for that will be okay with my heart disability. I can only really work 7-8 hours a day after 12 pm, is there any kind of office job I can apply for that would be open to an availability like that?
