Recently moved my mother in from Arizona. She has stage 4 COPD and unable to do anything on her own without help. I’m majorly overwhelmed, stressed and is taking a toll on my relationship with my boyfriend and daughter. No funds but how can I get some support for me and my mother so I can have some me time and take care of my responsibilities?

Find Care & Housing
Your mom is very young. In her early 60's are you prepared to "care" for her for possibly the next 20 years?
You also say that she is unable to do anything for herself. Can she really, truly not do anything for herself? If she is to stay with you she should be doing what she can.
Moving moving mom from an area that she knew, had friends might not have been a great idea but....
Start with your local Agency on Aging. See what she might qualify for as far as services.
I would look for Senior housing if that is a possibility.
See if she qualifies for Medicaid or if she had been working Disability if she can no longer work.
Is mom a Veteran? If so check with the VA or Veterans Assistance Commission to find out if she qualifies for any help from the VA.

Also if mom is getting Social Security, a Pension or any other funds she should pay you a fair portion of ALL household expenses. (If three people are living in the home, divide expenses by 3.)
You should write all this down as she is paying her fair share and you may need proof that she is using these funds for her upkeep and care. (may be important for Medicaid if you apply)

You apply for Medicaid for her.
