Help for medical assessments

My name is Vonda, and I am a survivor!! I'm trying to get disability and they are charging me enormous fees for evaluations and I simply don't have it. I am unable to work, even if I could physically I couldn't mentally. I suffer from PTSD-D, anxiety, depression, and chronic health issues. The reasons I suffer from the aforementioned is from being molested as a child. This was the onset of my mental state. I was only 4 or so. When I turned 15 (as best as I can remember) I began having severe panic/anxiety attacks. This went on almost daily until I was in my early 20's... when I was 23 I sought out medical help. However; The greatest part of my mental state came by way of a second marriage. The man I married wasn't at all who he portrayed himself in the first 5 years of marriage. On the 5th year we decided to adopt two sisters and I found myself pregnant. After the adoption people were no longer visiting life began to change drastically. "J" I'll call him (husband) began to isolate us. Living in a very rural area made it easy. I will tell you some of what was done to me. I was mentally tortured day after day and lived in constant fear. Captive in my own home where I should have felt safe. He was determined to ruin me, and before long I was wondering how much longer I was going to live. Many many times J would put a gun to my head and play his game of Russian roulette, pulling the trigger over and over. He went as far as trying to convince the youngest of the sisters to kill me. Anything he could do to torture me and make my life unbearable was just what he did. But I DID survive despite him! Unfortunately I now suffer daily flashbacks, nightly nightmares and what time I do go into public I feel panic like J will pop up any moment. BUT I REFUSE to let this define who I am, and my youngest daughter NEEDS ME. ❣ I can't live with my mom forever, she's 82 and her income is very limited. I need your help. I have assessment forms that need to be filled out. One assessment, I was told that they charge an unbelievable $450 (physical therapist). I will also have to have a psychological evaluation from my psychiatrist and another assessment from my counselor. I have no form of income for myself and I have no where else to turn. This is hard for me. I greatly appreciate ANY help you can provide me with. It is my hope that someday I can pay it forward. My daughter is counting on me and I'm counting on help from you. Unfortunately time is of the essence. I need to be able to do these assessment papers ASAP according to disability. Thank you for helping me! Sharing helps too... please share.
