Help disability after a suicide attempt?

United States 44. 2 massivr heart attacks.
See a shrink and a counselor recovering addict and alcoholic.

If you were a few years older it would be much easier. I would say you have an alright chance. Talk to a disability lawyer and see what they think.

In the US it's much easier to get approved for disability for a mental problem, rather than a physical one, believe it or not. The key is to have plenty of documentation from your doctors. You can start the process of applying online and they'll call you to do a follow-up phone interview. I got approved my first time around, without the help of a lawyer and it took less than a year. I also received almost $10,000 of back pay. I say go for it. It's easier than you think and you've got nothing to lose.

Wow!!!

It's such a shitshow. They denied me 2x when I applied for mental/emotional disabilities (which I think is in part due to the whole work with a disability lawyer, get denied 2x, go to trial, then get approved system, but whatever). Then when I became physically disabled & applied (with a lawyer), I was approved the first time, & they deemed me so mentally/emotionally incompetent that my check must go to a joint account with my father, as they have determined I must be incompetent of handling my own finances. Sooo...they didn't think I was disabled before, but now I'm suuuper disabled? K.
