Countries where you don’t have to work hard to make ends meet?

Tldr: I am too mentally ill to work more than 25 hrs a week at a shitty job. I am living on disability in the states and not making enough to actually live on my own. My mom just quit her job in which she was regularly being verbally abused, screamed at, manipulated, shunned, and not getting paid enough for the bullshit she endured for 30 years. We have some savings to survive for hopefully a little while but we're both looking for jobs, but every job involves “working longer hours for lower wages” -Larry David or someone. I currently owe social security nearly 3k because they said they gave me too much money when they previously said it was okay for me to make what I was making At my part time job. I've worked all kinds of jobs in kitchens, retail, fast food, etc. My favorite jobs were…

I am living on disability in the states and not making enough to actually live on my own. My mom just quit her job in which she was regularly being verbally abused, screamed at, manipulated, shunned, and not getting paid enough for the bullshit she endured for 30 years. We have some savings to survive for hopefully a little while but we're both looking for jobs, but every job involves “working longer hours for lower wages” -Larry David or someone. I currently owe social security nearly 3k because they said they gave me too much money when they previously said it was okay for me to make what I was making At my part time job. I've worked all kinds of jobs in kitchens, retail, fast food, etc. My favorite jobs were always with non profits, but they've always been temp jobs because every (non problematic) non profit here doesn't have enough funding to pay anyone long term.

I'm open about all my MIs in person but it feels invasive talking about them online to strangers. so I'll say this: I have immense difficultly learning simple tasks, my short term memory is non existent, my motor skills are lacking, and I melt under pressure. I have done things to combat a lot of these barriers such as: asking people to repeat things for me and writing things down. But I have to do these things so much to the point where I am seen as annoying and stupid, and I am laughed at. Which is detrimental for my already critically severe mental illnesses.

I realize there are a lot of happier countries where people live longer we hear about from time to time (not name dropping because I'll be corrected by people who don't live there) But if I could hear from anyone actually living in these countries, or countries like them that'd be most helpful. Essentially I'm looking for somewhere safe, with universal healthcare, and either a good disability benefits program, or an actual living wage, I don't live an extravagant life and I don't need or even want to. Just a place where I can live comfortably and work at a level that doesn't shorten my life. I'm somehow good at picking up languages, so it doesn't have to be a mostly english speaking country (beggars can't be choosers) I know most countries we can't even go to right now, so hoping we can live off of what we have until borders open up.

I'm aware if any Fox news hater sees this, I'm going to be virtually ripped a new one on a site like this, and I'm fine with that. Smash your keyboard until your fingers bleed. Go nuts. If you're angry at me, be sure to upvote so more people can see it and rage with you.
