I don't know much about your options, as I'm not living in the US, but can't you apply for (disability) benefits?
I'd also suggest you contact a charity which can help you figure out what social security provisions you are entitled to.
I'd say it's best to be as independent as possible and it's better to depend on the law than it is to depend on people who don't really understand your problems, no matter how much they love you.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
See Me, Feel Me, Touch Me, Heal Me.
