My body sucks.

I've always struggled with wanting to be alive ever since childhood. At 18 I graduated early and joined the army to fill my life with purpose. After some time my body couldn't keep up and I got a general discharge. In the process of being discharged, I tried to end my life many times in secret to avoid getting caught and being in trouble. Those attempts didn't work and I got out of the army. I came back home to family and got a job. My health declined even more and now I can't work. It's a struggle to move my hands, legs, fingers and it's difficult for me to think. I've filed for disability and goin through the process makes me regret my life even more. I keep getting thrown between therapists because nothing is working and I just had a brain MRI yesterday. I'm currently a burden to my family because I'm young and can't work. Walking is extremely painful but I refuse to use a wheelchair because I don't look disabled and constantly get yelled at for using disabled resources as a disabled person. I can't even stand for a full shower or stand when I use the restroom. My girlfriend has to carry groceries and I get yelled at for not being a gentlemen and helping. I feel like I'm slowly turning into a vegetable and I constantly have a headache that almost never goes away unless i manage to get thc in me. Is there any public resources or any help I can get? I'm currently doubting that I get approved for disability and only become a bigger burden. Ive worked since I was 13 and trust me I wanted to work but it got to the point where people told me that I should go home. I've also been planning on using a good method to stop everything but my body is getting too weak to try anything. I've watched myself become one of the strongest, to one of the weakest. If any of you guys have any advice on what I could do to help myself with disability or finding a place or just something. Am I just at the mercy of someone who doesn't know who I am to approve my paperwork? I can't afford these therapists or doctors and my hope is close to gone.
TL;DR: I'm young and disabled, what methods can I use with my weak body?Alternatively what resources are there for me to not be a complete burden by turning into a vegetable?
