Have you contacted the state Department of Rehabilitation? They will help disabled people get and keep jobs.

Also, did you tell your last employer (while still working) that you are disabled and needed accommodations? Many people who are mentally ill need a certain amount of work accommodations and we are covered by the ADA. If your last employer knew you were disabled, you have one heck of an EEOC complaint. Not hiring because of the disability is illegal, unless it would cause "undue hardship" (in other words, cost them way too much money). If accommodations are reasonable, which the courts have interpreted very generously, they cannot use your disability or any symptoms arising from your disability against you.
Thanks for this!
