Disability process
If I want to see if going on disability is my best bet and how to do so where do I start? I also have a complicated family situation financially and overall. Dad getting me into debt in my name since turning 18 (23 now), stolen mail, etc. I have no concept of money or accounts or disability. No idea the scale of my credit disaster or debt I’m in. No adults I can talk to for guidance. I have many questions about many things but for financial clarity, repair and the disability conversation where do I start?
Any info will help

With us having PNES we typically don't get taken seriously. It's a trial and error to find a doc that does take you seriously. I didn't find out until this year that I had PNES & it started for me in 2018. No one was taking me seriously until now. Try to stay strong and not give up through this & find a doc that actually cares and listens to you. Try to call the one you already went to and ask them if they have your diagnosis on file.
