I don't know much about this subject, but I do know that my dad is on disability for bipolar. His wife also applied, but she hasn't gotten an answer yet. I think the best thing to do would be to go to your local disability office and ask. The worst they could say is that you don't qualify, and if you qualify that's a major plus.

Also, don't feel like your taking advantage of the system. That is what it is there for, to be used by people who need it. I have seen perfectly well people get on disability, not because they needed it, but because they're lazy. I know one lady who in public is in a wheelchair because she is "disabled", but at home she cooks, clean, dances around, like anyone else. She gets 3500 a month because she is "disabled". So don't feel like your taking advantage if you need it. Only you can determine if you need it or not. Good luck with this!
