highbp

I've been recently diagnosed with bip[olar. I am 35 lost my job and been arrested. I have been medicating my disease for a long time now. I have no friends and don't seem to really want any. I have had a job ever since I was 15. My last one for 4 years. I was wondering what requirements for social security benefits I might qualify for. My wife has not been very understanding of my illness but I think that is because it is because all that I have put her through. We also have seven children. I take alot of medicine and am still getting straightened out on that. They mostly just make me sleepy and have poor concentration. I was also in a mental hospital for a few days to get my mind right. Any suggestions or advice to keep me afloat for a few days would be preshed.
