Struggling with Finances

I am in a very unusual situation where my most recent attack happened at my home and I was removed from my home and placed in a "safe space". Managing my own finances, I struggle to make payments, keep up with my nutrition, and not loose my head. I feel like everyone I know, everyone in my "support system" wants more from me than I can give and they are attempting to control my future, despite that I am on my own healing path. I work at a volunteer/ position that is therapeutic for me but is costly because the work takes gear, transportation and heartache when someone has an upset. I recently applied for food stamps, but am afraid that if I accept food stamps at my new location/residence, my current financial assistance will be cut off. I started seeing a therapist again, but I believe my C-PTSD is out of his scope of professional understanding and there is conflict of interest because he is also my family therapist. My finances are so tight that I cannot continue with therapy with anyone if I don't accept food stamps. But loosing my current assistance is not an option. Does anyone know if I can keep both forms of financial assistance at the same time? I am unable to finance myself/move forward with my healing path with my "support system" on my back all the time. More than once they have told me life would be easier for them if I were to kill myself.

Besides the food stamps what other financial assistance do you have? Housing? Welfare?

For housing, I have been wait-listed. I am in victims assistance program and receive SSDI benefits. Everyday I feel re-traumatized. Others in my situation would have been granted SSI, employment opportunity and medicare, but being that there was an emergency situation, and given my small amount of assets, I am on waiting lists for housing and am in temporary housing now without additional medical and financial assistance. Does anyone have experience with an unusually situation like mine? The amount of SNAP benefits I have been given is small, but would help enough for me to start with private therapy again and continue buying groceries without stress on my delicate financial situation. Could I loose my current benefits if I accept "SNAP" benefits?

I dont want to get all in your business but I have a knack for researching stuff. Do you mind sharing your state either here or in a pm?
