Even programs through the state/county/social services are not able to help. My SSDI is ~$25/month over.
If there are things I can control, I do my best to figure out solutions. Sadly, most of the issues I am dealing with are not under my control (The amt of SSDI I receive; utility bills (they are all on budgeted amts); no medical treatment; not being able to work; not being able to complete my ASN). The only things I see left to do are:
-Sell my house (most likely at a significant loss)
-Buy another house that is more conducive to my needs in a location that is more friendly to my RSD (no cold/no snow/limited rain) - which would leave me distanced from my aging parents which was why I moved here to begin with
-Totally give up ANYTHING and EVERYTHING regarding all things nursing (I was looking at reinstating my IL license to at least have that on hand ~$250 eeek! Simply cannot afford that with property taxes coming.)
-Apply for Medical Cannabis Card ($50/application; ~$60/product....not sure I can really swing either and certain this would affect my nursing license)
I'm so over everything right now. I have reached out for help and get slapped down constantly. The ONLY help I have is being able to vent and someone listens...nice & appreciated but doesn't get my trash can to the curb & back or go to the store for me or get the laundry done or...
I  you all!

I am so sorry to hear all this...looks like you have some very tough decisions ahead of you and I feel for you. It's even worse when you feel that you have no support system that you can rely on. Even with a support system I still feel frustrated at my inability to do things like take out the trash myself...and it's made worse when the person who DOES take the trash out complains about it (even in a joking way).
I wish I could do more for you than just be moral support...that I could offer some fine words that would just make it all better and easier...but I got nothing. You are in my thoughts and as always if you need someone to listen I am here.
Hugs.
