The amount of work I have to do can be...pretty overwhelming

So, here's my situation. I actually have a schedule for chores, calls and appointments that I have to do. And it'll go on for 5 days straight. Nevertheless it's very stressful so that's why I made a vow that whenever I'm not working, I just eat or zone out in bed or just sleep. That's all I have the time or energy for. I know the people in my life can add to the stress, especially my mom but I know I have to sit down with her and fill out paperwork so I can receive my dad's death benefits and his life insurance. And while it can be hard to trust my friend 100% (she is a feminist), I can see how stressful her position is too (her house is shitty, her and the two men who live with her can't afford medical care or a nice car or a lot of other things, etc). This is just going off of what she told me but I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. Plus, she does her part to help pitch in, give me financial and medical advice and to help me through this crisis. I was planning to go through all this shit first before I decide whether to stay with her or not (I keep thinking it's kinda manipulative and underhanded for me to do that though but either way if I don't want to stay with her, I will try to make my feelings clear about that if I can. She may be understandable, she may get pissed and get upset but if it doesn't fit, then.....it doesn't fit). Also, I know other than her, I really don't have anyone to really talk to for support or anything. And I do plan on calling therapists and doctors and stuff but my schedule is already crammed as is. Still, I can see how the stress is impacting me so I'm doing my best to take it slow and taking it easy whenever I can. I can tell that my willpower and patience will be tested and I do have to practice on remaining as calm as I can be, especially through the next few days. And a part of me wants to believe that I can make it through these few days but still.....it's an uphill battle.

I have found that powerlessness can feel sedative. Fight that feeling.

You are not a husband or father, as far as I can tell from your post. You therefore owe no one anything more than yourself. Run as far from everyone as you can. Go on a Legends of the Fall journey to find yourself. Leave your mother what is hers. Leave your girl her two male roommates. Run away. Go fight something you have a chance of resisting, like a grizzly bear. That quagmire of toxic feminine energy is a leviathan of biblical proportion.

I'm not a father or husband but I don't have the money or resources or transportation to go anywhere. In fact, this is what I'm trying to fight for so I can have the ability to walk away from all this. From my mom and even my friend. I mean where can I run to? A homeless shelter? That's all the advice I've gotten before when I tried asking for help. From actual professionals. Either that or coping skills to deal with my parents, which obviously didn't really change things much.

Legit, ignore any thought that says you cant. Join the military, or be a hobo.

Dont cope. Resist any escapism or anything that helps you deal with the slow decline into death.

A homeless shelter?

Sure. Or a tent. Or some place that houses volunteers in exchange for work (think of the site of a recent disaster).

Become the roady for a band, or become a sailor. Get a job that takes you away. You need to get as far away from that sleep gas as you can.

I'm disabled......I can't join the military or really be a hobo because I desperately need the medical care.

I'm not sure you know how dangerous being homeless can be, especially if you're a guy. Men are more exposed to violence and victims to homicide. Am I living an abusive toxic situation? Yeah I admit that but if I run out into the streets now, well, that'll destroy the plans I currently have in place medically. I know once I do have the money and resources (which shouldn't be too long) I can be able to distance myself from this more and more.

Ah. That sucks.

I have next to no experience with disability personally. Good luck.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
