So my story real quick. I've had depression/anxiety most of my adult life. I had warped views on it and neglected seeing a therapist until I was 29. I saw him once, then stopped going. Then I spent some time in the hospital for a suicide attempt. I'm 30 now, my first psychiatrist appt is in a week. I've never been able to hold a job more than 3 months. Dropped out of college in my third year.

So my question is. How screwed am I? If I try to apply for SSI benefits that is. Should I apply right now? I really don't know what to do. I'm considering calling a lawyer for some consultation. It would be great if anyone could give me some assistance/advice though. I'm pretty much homeless/broke with no family or friends to help.
