I have am thinking of options of how to relocate to a bigger city and needed some opinions. I have to move back to my small hometown for personal reasons and living with my parents. I see a judge for disability in early September and looking at my options for what I could do id that does not work out. I have the city in mind and it is my best option for now. I hope to be approved for disability but definitely have to look at every option out there I have talked to job services for the disabled and they said they cannot help me relocated to a big city unless I get a apartment there first. They don't want their company to look bad if i cannot find a apartment while starting a job. While i understand their reasons I am keeping strict with my goal and sticking to it no matter what. I don't want to have the depression or anxiety i had before and this small town gave a lot of that. I revealed to her i was a gay disabled male to help the job counselor understand my personal situation and she just affirmed the policies of the company without much help but like saying i could get a job at Walmart and transfer later. The company protects those who are lgbt so I would hope she would still respond well to my needs. I could get a job without disability services but it is very hard but not impossible. I will probably try that thought if necessary. I was also thinking of creating a gofundme account or even posting a message on Facebook explaining the situation I am in and asking for room and board in exchange for helping them keeping the home together or depending on their situation a apartment or condo where someone lives. I would even pay them back once I developed some income and have a deadline set for moving out of their place no matter if getting a income does not work out. It is kind of a desperate move and I want to wait till August to seriously think of doing that but I think it might be reasonable to some people. I am a trustworthy person with no criminal background and this time around I want to reach my actual goal. That way I can work with job services or find a roommate with my disability check or looking for jobs in the area and they would be more comfortable that I actually living there. I would think a disability organization would be more sympathetic to minorities but I guess policies have to be in place. I posted this question a few days ago and did not get many responses. I don't want to remain in the my hometown period and with no means to sound harsh but I want to seriously make this move and not make the mistakes I made last time by remaining in a very isolated environment which caused depression and anxiety and even suicidal thoughts. This is do or die and I am not gonna accept the advice of sticking around and letting things work out in my hometown first.
