Im going to rant a tad bit, but i could use some advice.

I cant really get a job because i cant drive and there are no buses (not like i could afford a bus anyways). I also have to stay at home with family because they have health issues and im paranoid. I want to be self employed but honestly im not sure. IM not even sure what i could do for self employed sense im broke and a young adult. I would likely be better off with a job but i cant go out and get one. Its like i want a hobby but everything i want to do requires money or something of that nature.

Have you looked up civil service jobs? Even with the Trump shit show there are still government jobs out there, and many have 'reasonable accommodations' for people who need them.

Also, get this book. "Discover What You Are Best At." Linda Gail. It's a bunch of self tests you can knock off in half a day, followed by a list of jobs that use those skills. The job list is divided up by how much education you need.
