Stress Reduction in Peri

I'm 48 and have pretty much every symptom in the book and have for over 6 years. Compounding that, I also have two autoimmune disorders - Hashimoto's and POTS. To top it off, I also have a violent, autistic 16 year old son. The awful symptoms of peri have ruined my life. I'm pretty much stuck at home every day. I don't drive any distance because I am constantly dizzy. Both my autoimmune conditions require low stress to stay out of a flare, but I have no idea how to do that when I constantly feel awful, and I live with my son basically abusing us daily. I'm terrible at mindfullness. I've tried yoga at home where I am stuck. I eat pretty clean - low sugar and gluten free. Does anybody else have any ideas on what you do to try to cope with severe stress? I can't really change the situation with my son - we have tried to get help for years. Unless you are on state assistance, there isn't a lot of help available. We pay for therapies for him out of pocket and there isn't a lot of money left over for me to try therapy myself.
