I will focus on both issues.
Before your next session with your psychiatrist, write on paper why you believe that you qualify for SSDI. (Some people are not able to focus in the moment.) Be assertive and emotional, but not aggressive or hysterical;make sure you bring the paper to the next session with your psychiatrist. After making your case, tell your psychiatrist that her assistance is essential. On a personal note, I wrote two letters to the President of the USA (Barack Obama). Both times I received a response from high-ranking staff members from the White House. After I did that, everything fell into place real quick (my VA compensation claim was approved at 100%, and my SSDI was approved (it was my first time filing for both).
As far as jobs go, I realize that you have had several jobs and that all of them created psychological difficulties. My question to you is this: Do you have a passion for anything? If so, what is your passion? Would you consider working in an independently-owned bookstore? Or something along those lines?
Regardless, everyone needs an essential foundation:A certain amount of money in your pocket, a roof over your head, food in your stomach, some form of transportation, and last, but not least, a comfortable psychological environment.
Take care.
