What would you do?

Hello. I recently created the poll regarding whether or not I should move to Florida. Some issues were what I would even do there. Either way I feel I may need more ideas from people on what they would do in my situation.

I currently live at moms house and really want to move out and I understand that could be simple as getting a job or saving money. I will explain later why that is so hard for me but first I will explain why I want to move.

As a grown man I shouldn't have to be dependent on my Mom. I have lived other places most my adulthood but ended up back here where I've been for a while now. When I lived other places I had problems with roommates. I've had around 20-30 of them. I was sued by landlords and struggled to pay my bills every month. A couple places I lived were condemned. Now I have it pretty good here, except I have no future here. I have my music studio and all my stuff and there aren't any rules I have an issue with, but I just can't be living with my mom.
She constantly asks questions and complains. It's literally non stop. Just while writing this she came to bother me to take pictures of the cat for her while the cat was sleeping. She will ask me to do things and complain how I do them and do them herself. She also will scare away any girl I try to bring over by acting weird and making me look bad. I could go on all day about how she drives me nuts and I know some people may like having people do things for them, but I hate it. I need to be independent and she doesn't allow that here.
When I don't live with her we get along great and I hate being annoyed by her all the times because I shouldn't have to have these issues with my family, so obviously I want out.

Now to complicate this issue I live off of a disability check that pays me $674 a month. I do not receive that money though. My mom gets my check because I was declared a disabled adult child and my mom gives me money to give me in allowance. I get my car insurance and phone bill paid and the rest I can spend on myself but I need a bigger amount of money at once to move out and my Mom seems to not even think I should move out and discourages me from moving.

I tried working but my health seems to get in the way and only gets worse. I've been diagnosed with several mental and physical ailments which I have suspected for a long time it is more than likely I have something called Elhers-Danlos syndrome. Doctors have agreed my symptoms are similar but it's hard to get state insurance to agree to test for stuff like that and my medical treatments are so incompetent which was part of why I got disability because they said I will probably never get good treatment with the problems I deal with. To top it off I recently shattered my elbow and had a plate and 4 bolts installed and I am not supposed to lift over a pound. The doctor said it may never be the same because I scrapped the cartilage off. I sleep about 16 hours a day, am often sick, have connective tissue problems and have some pretty bad cognitive problems even though my intelligence has been rated well above average but I still have problems with understand basic things. It took me years just to figure out how to get my food stamps and I take way longer than others to do most things. I have problems with relating to others which causes social problems and my senses are distorted from what others perceive. I also go through periods of not being able to function where others say my disability becomes very obvious.

Anyway I need a way to make money doing something that will accommodate these issues. I am really good at most creative things and always have ideas but I honestly cannot be consistent with anything. I think you all know me pretty well by now so that's why I am asking for life advise.
Thanks for reading.

    Bottom line; there is no way you can live independently on $674 a month unless you live in a total ghetto, in Florida. Even if you could afford the fuel and all to drive there, you would need a new driver's license, car registration, insurance and other things, all of which cost money. Nope you are better off where you are and you will just have to make the best of your situation.

        The saying is, 'if you hear an ambulance, there's another condo for sale.'
