I was put on unemployment last time I was fired. I would think this would fall under that category. SSDI doesn't start immediatly, takes months. But emergency funds might be available through your local county health department. The first few months of paperwork and transitioning from a job to disability was awful because I was at my worse and needed to be competent enough to fill out forms etc. I did get my SSDI the first time I applied for it, but was able to show years of how the disability had effected me.

Sometimes it is darkest before the dawn. I know you don't want, or probably need to hear that right now - go ahead and fall apart for a bit. I think it would be natural. Hugs!
