<prompt> Human: I am 23yo trying to escape a home that has been horrible for me. My mother constantly yells and expresses hatred for me. She is crazy. She is an emotional burden on me. I have no one that cares about me, no other family. She does not support me in any way besides occasionally stock fridge with the same microwave dinners. She does not care about me or my future, or if she does she does its not much and she never shows it, I feel like she would be content if I wasted my life rotting in this house for more years than Ive already done.My health is in a bad state, I have physical and mental illnesses, but I feel like I cant help myself to get better while Im here, because staying here keeps me in a depressive state.I am currently on SSDI but my mother pockets it. I think I need to remove her as payee. However, the SSDI is only 500 dollars a month. Edit: Many people are saying thats reasonable for her to take for food and rent, but she would keep the remaining money if there was some, and paying 500 for rentfood is a bit different than what I have which is rentfoodgriefhate. Also, its going up to 800 next month it looks like from SS website member page.I contacted a social services worker to be put on a waiting list for housing for mentally ill with some limited assistance with living, but the list takes up to 2 years. I think this would be ideal but its also only opportunity Im aware of.I studied computer programming, I took some college courses years ago, I am good at it, but Im not really healthy enough to maintain a job, and I dont drivenever learned and not healthy enough to drive right now. But still, I am interested in doing something to increase my income so I can survive on my own.Do you have any advice for me? I dont feel like I can wait 2 years for housing. I live in the state of NJ.edit: I did not expect to get a lot of attention for this. Thank you, especially if you wrote a piece of advice, I am reading them all.Assistant: Absolutely change your representative payee. There is likely a non profit in your area that can be your rep payee.Human: I am going to, however, my mother has threatened to kick me out when I do.  <response>: Contact member services department at your areas RBHA Regional Behavorial Health Authority they should open a case file and get you in touch with local providers for temporary and longer term subsidized housing. Apply for welfare and food stamps.Its a hard road to be out of the house with mental illness but you shouldnt be mistreated. You may also want to consider counseling. This may be offered through member services through the RBHA as well.
