Hi! I live in the rural TN Valley. I have COPD and have become homebound. Something is always blooming here, and I am allergic to every tree and weed in TN. I have 4 small dogs who I love dearly. I am trying to put my house on the market to sell. I am on SSD and live way below the poverty level. Once I sell my house, I need to get out of here. The healthcare sucks in my town, my PCP doesn't take me seriously, and I am really struggling to breathe this year. I am 50 times worse than last year. I wanted to move back home to the Detroit area, but when I lived near the beach in Lake Worth, FL, the salt air seemed better for me. Of course, that was 18 years ago. I am 55 and scared to death. If I leave TN, I may never see my 81 year old mother or my older brother, who had 3 strokes and cannot walk. He makes me feel guilty for leaving bc he moved here to be closer to me. After he moved here, he had his strokes. I have been the one to drive him to Drs and stuff, but I am too sick to do it anymore. If I leave, I may never see him or my mom again. All of this stress has got me smoking double what I ever smoked. I cant find anyone to help me clean and stage the house, and realtors are of no help in that area. There are companies in Chattanooga and Knoxville, but they charge trip charges and don't do windows, etc. Than, I am trying to find a place to live. I was thinking the NC/SC coast. Myrtle Beach, Topsail, those areas to be close to salt air. I am on SSD for mental health issues and all of this has stressed me out so much. Is there anyone that can help me? I will most likely be homeless for 2-3 months btwn selling and buying bc of my debt to income ratio. I have a companion/roomate and we wanted to buy a house together. He helps me with little stuff here and there. But I think I would do better on my own. We have been roomates for 20 years. He is 62. He is very quiet, computer illiterate, retired already, and just sits around and drinks coffee and takes care of the dogs. He is putting all of this on my shoulders. I tried to find a mental health therapist here. None take my insurance and I hardly drive anymore due to PTSD so Kville or Chattanooga is out. I need physical help with the house, and help making a solid decision on where to move. I have to sell the house because I borrowed money to remodel it so it would sell fast. So staying here is not an option. Can anyone help me? Or can you direct me to an organization that can? If I go thru Medicaids Choices program, I will have to sign my house over to them. I am sorry. I am scared. The local government .mental health clinic is out. They used me as a guinea pig in a drug trial without my knowledge or consent. United Way and the Senior Center had no answers or referrals Does anyone live on the NC/SC beach area? Is your COPD better/worse? Thankyou. I am sorry this question is a mass of confusion. Thankyou so much.
