Limbo is my norm

I’ve been in limbo for almost 4 years now. I don’t know how to get out of it. My husband lives in a different state as i do. We are separated and are thinking of divorce down the road but neither of us are in a hurry. My health prevents me from just picking up and saying “Adios muchacho”. I’m still living in the house going on 15 years but it’s in his name. I have no clue how to even proceed. I was thinking of applying for disability but “he” makes too much. I don’t want to be locked in to that kind of income the rest of my life anyway, so I sit. And I sit. I’m just not living. I have no friends, I never go anywhere. I’ve been in and out of depression since I was a kid. I’ve gotten real good at avoiding people. I only go out at night to the store. I stay up all night because i’ve never lived alone before and i’m afraid. Everything bad happens late at night so I want to be up and alert rather than asleep and vulnerable. I’m at the age now where i’m battling gray hair and feel like all my best years are behind me now so why bother even trying to look nice? I thought I was out of my depression but apparently i’ve fooled myself. I guess you could say i’m just stuck. I should be having the best time of my life now but none of it is panning out the way it should. Anyone have any good suggestions as to where to start to clean this mess up? T.I.A.

Not if you apply for ssdi on his work history. Mental health can get you in it. Wishing u the bestNot regular ss... do you have any work history. File for separation. You will be able to get social security disability. Go in with a lawyer.
