<prompt> Human: Two years ago I started an IT job making 55k, I put most of it into my 401k, as well as maxing out my Roth IRA. The plan was to achieve FI and go live in a tiny home. A few months into my job I started experiencing weird symptoms, which we now believe to be derealization episodes. I went on a leave of absence, unpaid, and found out I also had a brain tumor. Found out its benign. Spent a lot of time and money tracking down the source of my issues: tumor, seizures, etc. Symptoms didnt get better but I went back to work after 6 months and worked from home. May 2016 my symptoms got significantly worse, I was unable to work and had to go on leave again. More expensive testing, more unpaid leave. Im off work for a year, after which I must return or lose employment. Find out they filled my position the same day I find out I have autism and derealization. I have a chance to look for positions within the company for a short time, but I dont think Ill be able to find one that will work with my disabilities. I should be starting therapy for the derealization soon, but I will likely only have health insurance for this month. My boyfriend has stated he will marry me so I can get insurance through him. I dont know what to do about a job at this point as without a fully silent, stress free environment I forget everything: basic stuff like my name, where I am, what Im holding. I have 72k in retirement and investment accounts 25k in brokerageroth contributions that I could withdrawal, only about 1k cash, and 1k in credit card debtmedical bills. If I dig into brokerageroth contributions I have enough to live on for a little while while I figure things out, but I dot know if thats a good idea, but I dont know if Ill ever be able to work, and having a huge gap in employment history wouldnt help a job search. I dont really know where to go from here and was hoping that rpf would have some suggestions.  <response>: I would find a social worker. Probably through your neurologists office. They can help you apply for benefits based on all of the symptoms that you have, not just the most recent things. Such a social worker will have a lot of experience in how to handle these applications and a possible appeal as well.You might want to look at as well, see whether there are any charities that can work with you to improve your situation. I think you deserve all the help you can get.
