[Request] Please help me stay off ssi, medicaid etc.

the links tell me story....

January of 2013 i started working online (to be honest with you i was a mod of r/amazondeals. I made some money. Enough that i was able to get off ssi, food stamps, and medicaid for the first time in my adult life (22 years, im going to be 41 next month) I didnt always have the footstamps, maybe only the last 5 years or so..but the ssi and medicaid i've had since i feel ill in the hospital at the tender young age of 18.

I wasnt making a fortune, but by their standards i was making enough. I was so happy. I wanted to move out but i knew it couldnt last forever and living on your own for the first time is something that you need reliable and steady income for (thats right 41 years old sick, single, live with my mom)

I saved every penny i could. i paid 1/3 of what i made in taxes, which is a very healthy portion. In January of this year the sub was closed down, and with it any earning potential i had.

Having been sick most of my life (mental illness) i didnt and dont exactly have the best resume not to mention i cant just apply for any 9-5 job because i have a debilitating sleep disorder which is very unpredictable and makes my day to day life a living hell as if having mental illness was not enough.

Over the last few months i have spent money on trying to get a website made only to pay for it and have it rendered useless because it doesnt do what its supposed to do, so i had to hire someone else to fix it and its past the due date and he seems somewhat unresponsive most of the time but im still hoping that he will end up getting it right but time is of the essence. I have had horrible times hiring tech people/designers etc online because it's totally different when you are face to face and you can hold someone accountable. I don't like hiring people online.

I met with some people locally to get a second website made only to be turned down because even though they could meet with me to discuss the project they didnt have enough time, thus wasting my time.

Needless to say that i dont have a fond opinion of the "tech" generation.

I have had my resume done professionally, not to mention a cover letter and a linked in account. Which also costs money, living day to day costs money, i dont buy any big ticket items, i didnt buy fancy clothes, i bought a 2001 honda accord with over 130k miles on it, i bought health insurance, i bought clothes from walmart, and well the sites, resume, cover letter , linkedin account and everything else was just day to day expenses. The only reason i bought a phone (used) was because my samsung omnia 2 broke (i know).

I am here.

If anyone would like to ask me anything im here to answer you.

i dont want to go back on ssi, ssd, medicaid or anything of the sort and will do anything i can to avoid it.

edit 2: i encourage your opinions, your questions, your criticisms...whatever you have to say, whatever is on your mind, harsh or not. I welcome it all.
