I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Sometimes it's hard to just get through the day, nevermind trying to work too.
Now, not to split hairs...but I want to make sure I understand you. You applied for Social Security disability based on your work history, right? That would be SSDI. SSI is the disability benefit for people who haven't worked enough quarters and fall within certain income limits. I'm not sure what other household income you may have coming in, but if you fall within the income limits in your state, you could qualify.
Here's a link to Social Security for more info:

You'll need to call them to get the income limits for your state, but it's worth a shot.
Good luck. I hope you're feeling better soon.
