      @CelticBear if I qualify for the program through the department they'll set me up with a social security social worker to help start that process and get the assessments I need to see if I can qualify for disability

      it really does suck I'm so useto being able to provide and I cant even do that. I've pretty much cut almost everyone out of my life except for a few and it hurts because I see everyone hanging out with friends and I've come to the stand still that I don't even have that my closest friend would be my husband and that takes a mental toll on me too. I talked to my husband last night and apologized because my mental health has declined and he said it's OK he's noticed it and it will all work out. I'm wondering if my insurance will do phone therapy sessions. Have you tried for disability I know its not something a lot are ok with doing but I know one of the things is you have to either be working 20 hrs a week or not at all and with enough back up from drs and if they will sign papers for it you could get it

      I had to fight to get my food stamps benefits back after I got married. Now I'm trying to overcome my anxiety enough to start the process of getting on their Aged, Blind, Disabled program. Even though I don't have a diagnosed Disability, I was told I could apply because my mental health is preventing me from working. I feel like it's going to be an uphill battle because I am horrible at advocating for myself. I've been out of work for over a year and being unable to get help on my own... I get it. Obviously I don't know the full situation but... it really does suck not being able to receive the help that you desperately need to feel like things are going to work out. It feels easier to let it be, but mentally takes a toll. I really hope things start looking up for you soon and I hope good news will come your way.
