I think you should go to socialsecurity.gov and thoroughly complete an online disability report and read everything you can about Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI), make a list of your questions and after submitted your disability report, make an appointment to talk to a claims rep in your local office in person. The rest of your claim can be taken, some of your questions may be answered (but not whether or not you will be found disabled - that will take months). You should be prepared to provide the dates you worked at each of your jobs since age 23 because they might be considered unsuccessful work attempts (pay stubs more helpful that W-2's for UWA). The fact that you attempted to work and couldn't continue does not mean that you would be disqualified. Lots of people have problems that get worse over time. That is not unusual at all.
Don't put it off. The initial decision is 3-6 months AFTER you apply. If you have to go through the appeals process, it could be more than a year and then you still might not qualify. Get busy.
