I've always avoided disability. Although the way I've been feeling lately, I think I might need to consider it. I've been out of work for six months. Before that it was 6 years. I do not qualify for Obamacare (too expensive) and Medicaid.

If you can do a temporary disability, which may be 1 year max, i would consider it. It is hard enough to deal with mental illness as it is, but it is harder being on disability.

Do what you have to do for YOU to survive and find a stable place!
