Hello! I have been thinking a lot about applying for disability. I have been diagnosed with bipolar I and antisocial personality disorder. If I work more than an easy, part time job, I will become extremely depressed. This leads to me quitting jobs on impulse with no other job lined up, suicide attempts, drug use. I am worried that since I have a mental disorder rather than a physical disability that it may be harder to get. My dad who I have never met lives completely off of government assistance because of mental disorders. How would I go about this, as it seems like a very daunting process to me?

Alright thanks, I’ll go for it. You mention being a caregiver. It seems that people are caregivers and spouses a lot of the time. Do these people start as spouses only, or there is somewhere you can go to get assigned a caregiver and then they become your spouse? Cuz I feel like I am codependent, but relationships are difficult for me.
