You have a plan in place. Good. My only suggestion is you have a Plan B in case it falls through.

As for work is there an agency or group that can assist you in finding employment. In my province we have an abilities council. It not only helps place those with physical and cognitive disabilites but helps place those with mental health issues too.

Additionally I would visit whatever mental health service/agency is in or near your community. The one I drop in to often has job postings.

I point this out because these postings have been vetted for understanding employers, and will pay a decent living wage. The additional bonus is that they can be fitted to your specific needs. For example a job that relies on memory work would not be appropriate for myself, where as something routine would.
