Hopefully, you are on disability or other govt income, so you have your own income.
Contact your disability office, and request to be put on a list for assisted living accomodations. Let them know you are being mistreated.

It doesn't sound from your description that you could live on your own, but with assisted living you often eat in a shared dining room (usually lunch and dinner) with other residents, or they will bring your meal to your room if you prefer. You have your laundry, housework, change of bedding all done for you, but otherwise it is your own place with staff available in case you need help.
You will have a small kitchen in which to make yourself breakfast and evening snacks if desired.
You will have your own private living area with a TV, or go to the main social area to watch TV with others. Social activities are also arranged such as shopping trips, bingo, card playing, afternoon tea etc.
These places are used by seniors who can no longer live on their own, but are not ready for full care.

My father lives in one. It is a 600sq one bedroom unit that he really likes. He also enjoys the socialization.
Could be ideal for you.

You do need to be assessed before they will take you, in case you require a higher level of care. If you need help getting out of bed, bathing, getting dressed, then assisted living won't meet your needs. But once you get the ball rolling, this will all be part of the process to get you into the right level of care.
Do you have children to help you with this?

If you own a house, find a divorce lawyer who will accept payment once the house is sold.
