Help with flashbacks? The smell here reminds me of when i got ill last summer

I don't feel well here. The heat and the smell and the place remind me of last summer when i was dragged to a sanatorium by grandma and got a virus and now i just want to go home. It hasn't been a day. I'm alone and scared. The thing is home isn't good neither. Idk where to live. I just woke up panicking and nauseous in the heat and smell and tiny space (like can i open a window or have the AC on through the night without getting sick? Meanwhile i get sick from both having no air and AC/having AC or the window. But i can't get a new place and idk if mom would want me permanently home. I want to give up this place, just pack my things and leave the sink and the mold. But mom would treat me terrible. She told me to get a new place without knowing I don't have the money for that. I can't get the temperature right. And the smell has me going crazy. I just remember the agony of being here. I just can't adjust the smell and the temperature. But how to explain to mom? She will see me as a burden. That i will be.
