And I think it's time I apply for beauty school.

I think that is smart. Stay away from SSDI or SSI as long as possible.
I went on it because I truly couldn't work. I had self-harmed so greatly that I was too physically injured, and in addition, was having psychotic moments caused by my depression. So was not fit to work. But being on disability helped me go through treatment and eventually get stable and back to work.
So it can be helpful for some. But if you can stay off of it, stay off. It can be too much of a hassle.
