Tips for living alone?

I may need to live alone this year and it causes me anxiety. I don't mind a few days alone, sure. But to live permanently alone kind of scares me. I have PTSD so I'm really wary of Little sounds, I'm overly hyper vigilant on my surroundings, so I fear an intruder, if they knowing I live alone. I am scraping by financially so I'm not sure how I can afford rent living alone... I would like to get disability ( I have very chronic PTSD) to help me but I know they deny you several times. So I feel helplessbut I'm really needing to not live anymore in my current place/space. Any tips living alone?

Or even learning to cook or prep food for one (You Tube is great for this.. The point it to not feel alone, by being busy. Plan that trip for next year. D😷eclutter or clear out a wardrobe.. Anything really..
