nearly 3 years with severe tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis, 8 months homeless with my mom, living with my aunt who really doesn't like me and believes i am faking my conditions, my mom is trying to get a job, i am trying to find a remote job, but their house is loud, up until now they gave me a bedroom but forced me to go look for jobs because i don't (can't) pay rent, yet they take the money i earn from art commissions, they have kids who are loud, they play music, they are loud too, the day before yesterday my aunt told my mom and i to leave, we went to my other aunt's house for a couple days, we were trying to see which of her friends would let us go with them until we found an apartment, told her i would try to apply for disability, section 8, whatever, then i texted my mom words of encouragement, my mom's other phone was with my aunt, she read the messages, now i'm afraid she knows about the gofundme i did to raise money for our apartment, which has only $2800 on it, they have an apartment ready next week but now we're here again because my aunt told us to come back but also said i no longer have the room, i have to be in the living room where they are, because she's doing other things with the room, neither my mom or my dad in mexico can help me find a place to go, nor do I have money to pay rent if i find a quiet place to go, because the gofundme isn't connected to my bank yet, this situation does not look survivable, i'm already in pain, my tinnitus is already really loud, with new tones, i do not know what to do.

ok, i am 21 years old, i've had tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis since i was 18, severe tinnitus, different types, i have no job experience, didn't even finish high school because of my conditions, my mom and i lost our apartment last year, we've been living with my family since january, she's trying to find a new job but i have not been able to get on disability, my family is threatening to kick me out and force me to live on the streets if i do not find a job, until we find an apartment i have no choice, i wear double ear protection, they don't care if it's an overnight part time job or remote job, they just want me to work, besides we can't get an apartment if i don't do this anyway, what jobs would be good? the only way i can get to work is my mom's car, my life is in danger, i need advice, urgently.

not sure how much background to write but in my post history you will see that I have had severe tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis for over 2 years, i'm 20, my birthday is in 3 days and i don't look forward to it, my family has treated me terribly, they think i'm just lazy and don't want to work, my mom and i lost our quiet apartment last year and have been stuck living in my aunt's house since the beginning of the year, the other posts i made recently tell you more but, i started a gofundme (no donations, one friend donated a couple thousands but that was it) to try to help me mom and me find a new apartment, but my mom lost her job the other day because of something to do with the company she worked for so her boyfriend is moving into my aunt's house and they are taking away the room they gave me (away from the noise) and forcing me to be in the living room at all times around the noise, they are doing this on purpose, my aunt said it's because i don't work and i lie about being disabled, then she screamed in my face, either to prove i'm faking being disabled with this stuff or because she knows it hurts me, then she said "we'll see if you're really disabled", meaning they intend on deliberately making my life hell now, i don't know what to do, i was trying to find advice to apply for disability yesterday, now i have to try to find a way out of here soon, to get away from these people, my ears hurt so much, my dad is trying to find a way to help me safely go back to mexico with him, my passport needs to be renewed, i need money to at least find a small apartment for a bit if my mom will somehow help me, i am in pain, my tinnitus is so loud, i'm scared, i didn't do anything to this family but be disabled and unable to work, i don't know if there's anywhere i can share my gofundme here but i'm so scared and i need help.

this post is gonna be a bit family drama related so i apologize for that, but it's important to get a grasp on the situation. my severe tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis i've been dealing with for 2 years, were not as bad by january 2025, since i was mostly spending time in my apartment that i had with my mom, but she's an alcoholic and when she relapsed she would come to my aunt's house to sober up, so i'd be home alone for a while, meaning less noise, less people. didn't even need double protection anymore by then, just earmuffs. my mom started drinking again in june 2025, hasn't stopped since, it's terrible, that along with losing out benefit because of the shutdown, her quitting her job, we lost our apartment of 4 years, and for half a year i've been stuck in my aunt's house, not on social security because my mom, despite constantly nagging about me not having a source of income (this all started when i was 18, i'm supposed to be 21 this year), never helped me with it, my family has no regard for my conditions, they treat me with resentment, like they're "envious" somehow because i don't have a job, they tell me to do chores for them, been doing that for the time i've been here, but i've tried to tell them the whole time that there's only so much i can do, the moving out process was spent wearing double protection, because it wouldn't be smart to do otherwise, but i've had to wear double protection since, my conditions have gotten worse, they don't give a shit, they call me lazy, say "we all have issues", ignore that i'm in pain (some of them think i'm lying about my conditions), i've been trying to get my mom to sober up (she's done so twice this year, no longer than 2 months either time), so she can actually start helping me find us an apartment, even started a gofundme but i'm terrified she will try to steal the money for alcohol and other things, because she took my $200 from paypal people sent me to help me and spent it on alcohol, saying "your money is my money", and threatening to kick me out of my aunt's house, my aunt also treats me like shit, the night before i was forced to move here she kept saying everything would've been better for everyone if i stayed with my dad in mexico when i was a kid, instead of coming to the us, called me a pussy, all these other things, saying i made up my disability, it's a terrible situation, no matter if i tell them i'd be a threat to myself if my conditions worsened too much, they genuinely don't care about me, they'd sooner throw me to the street than help me, not sure what to do anymore tbh, i'm stuck in a situation that seemingly only ends with me dead.

been 2 years of severe tinnitus, hyperacusis and noxacusis, i've been homeless for 6 months, these last few days have been horrible, i started a gofundme to raise money to get an apartment, just wondering where i should post it.

dude my life is over, i've had tinnitus for over 2 years, hyperacusis and noxacusis for over 2 years, previously i had an apartment with my mom, we were trying to get me on disability with social security so i could make money for the apartment (we never did, she never took me to the appointments).

the problems with my ears have worsened, my mom is an alcoholic (my other posts give context as to previous situations), she relapsed a year ago, usually she stops drinking for maybe a year before relapsing, we nearly lose the apartment, she gets sober, whatever, she's still drinking tho, she was sober december - february i believe, then april - start of june. we lost our apartment last year because of the government shutdown and my mom not having a job because of her drinking, we've been homeless in my aunt's house since january, it's been half a year, this house has a lot of people in it, sometimes my cousin's kid comes over, he screams from the other parts of the house sometimes, so i hide inside a pillow so i don't hear him. they gave me the room all the way in the back of the house, but it's not like i'm left alone, it doubles as a storage for my mom's stuff, so she comes in here sometimes, and because she's drunk every day (works a part time job, not enough to get us out of here, she was gonna get a second job but didn't), she comes in here and bothers me, sleeps in here, there's nowhere else to go, not even the backyard, i have no money, i do art commissions but make maybe $25 a month, i've shared my paypal link, i don't get donations, maybe one here and there, just a bit of money, not much, i grind those "play games for money" apps out of desperation, i can't work, my ear problems are bad enough that i genuinely can't, my tinnitus is so bad, my ears hurt, even with double ear protection, people don't have regard for me here, some of my family thinks i'm lying about these problems so i don't have to get a job, i have no money, nowhere to go, i'm scared, i don't see a way out of this other than the thing i can't say on here. my mom doesn't even care about my anymore, she used to take care of me but she drinks every day and just treats me like shit, if i could just cry and show them how scared i am and that this is all life or death for me maybe they'd care just a bit, but probably not, i don't know what to do. i'm so scared.
