If you do decide to go for disability, make sure your pdoc and your T are fully behind your decision, and willing to fill out the paperwork. It can take years to get it with just Bipolar, but you might have an easier time if you add in your ADHD, if that is a valid diagnosis.

Also, apply for SSI at the same time, as this might give you some small income, if approved, to hold you over while waiting for SSD.

If you do not get SSI, you will need help paying bills and eating until the decision comes thru.

My biggest advice is to hire a lawyer that deals with social security. You are likely to get denied at least twice before SSD takes your claim seriously. (At least, I was.) Upon getting a lawyer, things went much more smoothly.

Most lawyers who deal with disability will take a percentage of your back pay, and receive nothing if you don't get SSD.
