Panic Attacks Keeping Me In Poverty At Age 68

Hi. I am a retired person with disabilities. I struggled through insecurities in my work and in my personal relationships. In 2018, I had my first full-blown attack at a store I worked at. Since then I have had several attacks. Recently, because of my disabilities, not having a car, and living on only Social Security on less than $1,200 a month, I tried to do a few online businesses, and was stopped each time from these attacks. Friends took me in but I live in a garage that has no central air or central heat. I could easily become homeless. So, earning money is critical but I need to overcome my anxiety and tendency towards mild depression.

Hello and Welcome. What have you already tried for your anxiety?

Hasn't anyone offered to call or take you to a social service agency for assistance ? Is it because you wish to remain autonomous? Your monthly income and disability qualifies you for a low-income senior apartment. A disabled senior having to live in a garage without proper sanitation and utilities is inexcusable. Call this number for help locating senior assistance in US.- 1-800-677-1116.
