i’ll have no money to survive soon

Question

23f, i’ll skip the elongated list of my disabilities. my health has declined and i’m unable to work. even when i did work i frequently lost jobs because of my health. my mom is supporting me but won’t support me much longer. i’m going to apply for ssi and food stamps soon but i just looked up how long the process takes and i feel like crying. i’m meeting with a lawyer on monday but even if it only takes a few months what do i do until then? are there any immediate resources for people like me? i know i shouldve applied a long time ago i was just in denial that im “disabled enough” to not be able to work, but at this point i can’t walk for more than 15 minutes. i’m so worried i have $500 monthly payments on my credit card and $80 storage unit plus i need money for gas to get to doctors appointments and that’s if i only eat from food banks. which will be difficult considering cooking is hard for me and i can’t eat meat or fish. i’m so upset and discouraged right now
