Broke and stressed... Disability?

I'm two suicide attempts in for the year, so working has been near impossible. I haven't worked since March and my funds are draining. I'm also srowning in copays for therapy, psychiatrist, and doctor appointments. Someone recommended applying for disability, but I don't know what to do and I'm not certain I qualify. My online therapist has suggested it but I'm not certain about it. Any advice?

I'm so sorry this year has been so trying for you but glad you're reaching out here to help yourself. If you've worked for a while and contributed through your taxes, you're entitled to SSD income, disability income, and can apply for it. Maybe your therapist and psychiatrist can assist with the process. I hope you feel better.

go online and look it up to see what you need to qualify for disability.
