Since your earnings might not get back to what they once were--do you have any kind of debt? That our home is paid off has "saved" us when we were unemployed. Also, when I faced medical bills in excess of $300K due to my attempt and we were both unemployed, I had to declare bankruptcy. Also, if you are paying alimony based on what you used to make, you can go to court and get it adjusted. Financial breathing room is so important when you are trying to heal from mental issues. I hope you are able to get disability but I have heard that if you have a drinking problem and are still drinking, it can makes it harder to get. Before my attempt, I would drink too much but the attempt shocked me into rarely drinking at all. Sorry to mention the drinking issue but, like Sarahsweets said, it can push you into depression as it is a depressant.

Once you get more stable then I suggest looking for part time work that is not stressful. That you once made 94K means that you have the ability to eventually be employed again but you have a lot of work to do to get stable before you might be able to work at all. Baby steps.....
