My mom had disability income in the last years of her life and I know how hard it was for her to get that even though she was very physically disabled. It took her over 2 and a half years to finally get approved.

I'm just wondering if the long term depression and anxiety I've suffered from would qualify me for some kind of assistance so I could have the time and assistance to fully work on my mental health. Currently, working over 60 hours a week, I rarely have much time to address my mental problems, and when I do go to the doctor, the missed work is detrimental to my income and safety. I barely make enough to live in a run down 5th wheel trailer. I could do with having a better living situation and more time to actually work on getting better.

Any information is greatly appreciated. I have tried to do some research on my own, but I only get swamped with ads for disability lawyers who charge for the initial consultation.

Thank you in advance

Sorry to hear you are working so much @Nobodynoz113 you must be exhausted. That must make getting mental health support difficult.

You may find out more by free (pro bono) lawyers in Texas. Free Disability Attorneys Offices in Texas - Locations and Contact Information - LawInfoPedia but I have no idea if you income qualify or if they take their fee out of the disability award when they get it so be careful about signing anything. There are slso free support groups online and in person.
