Hi. Sorry for the stress you are under to cause you to contemplate sui----. So sorry for what you endured and experienced abuse. No one should have to go through it. But it sounds like you are a survivor and you aiming to deal with it. But it is hard without a therapist, psych doc and guide.

I cannot answer your question because I am not qualified to do so. If you are doing disability through a work program, contact HR how to apply. If you are looking for transitional assistance, contact your state offices. If you are looking for permanent disability under social security, check out the social security website under disability.
