Disability, Health Insurance, Therapy, oh my!

I'm STRESSED.  Talked to a lawyer today about disability.  She said it would take 6-12 months to get a hearing.  Then 3 months after that for it to be processed.  I turn 26 in January and need to have my own health insurance.  But I have an auto-immune disease, so most likely no one will insure me, but i'm not dirt poor so welfare won't take me and put me on medicaid.  *HUGE SIGH*  But if I don't get health insurance, I will be dirt poor in no time flat!  Pills, pills pills and Bills bills bills.  Then the last few weeks of therapy have got me all stirred up, depressed and anxious and I'm getting worse again, back to where I was months ago.  Struggling to stay above water here!!!!!
