I’m wondering if any one has any experience here being at what I call position zero. That is, no partner, no family, no friends who are capable of or interested offering meaningful support, no job, and a small amount of, or no, savings. I count myself fortunate to have a stable place to live in the medium term, and enough money to potentially sign a lease - but without family or supportive friends, I don’t understand how to find the psychological stability to guarantee an income to pay for housing. I’m going through psychiatry, but it could take years to find medication that works for my depression. Is this the point where I should bite the bullet and apply for disability? 

It feels so shitty because my body works fine and I have in the past held down very, very well paying and respected positions for about a year.
