But yeah I found out this will likely take another year and there is still the chance of being denied. I looked at what help is available in my state and I wouldn't qualify for anything useful at this point that i know of. Even any cash assistance requires a physical examination proving disability seems like mental problems are just disregarded for that particular help.

Just don't know how to get by another year, with no income of any kind to even attempt to do anything useful/smart with...also I am somehow supposed to stay motivated to complete the process and play the game and all that. I mean even with SSI moving out of my moms place may not prove to be ideal but at least I'd have a little money to get out of the house and maybe save up some till I could figure something else out.

Not sure why I am posting this, it seems like everything points towards this being my confusion overload to figure out regardless of if I have the ability to do so. So yeah when I'm 25 I might be able to start having a life and afford more actual help for my conditions
have been there, still somewhat there, and facing possibility of going back there, all I can say is take one day at a time. Do what you can to enjoy life's tender mercies, cut costs, like plant and grow and put up garden produce, etc. Try to never give up! I know it's hard. We get hit by life sometimes when we are already down. I still believe that we must just keep moving forward, as best as we are able. Laugh. Enjoy the little things. Help someone else. Just telling you this cuz it's how I cope! The best!
