I think there’s a lot of people in a similar situation to mine and yours, probably a lot more than we realize because it’s embarrassing to even talk about
dunno what your disability situation is but nice work getting that gubmint money, I’m sure it’s not nearly enough or what you deserve but it’s good to get something back from The Man

2 years for me, though I started an employment program funded by the Employment office recently. I get a basic subsidy of a couple hundred Euros and like 3/4 of the time there is wasted and/or mind-numbingly boring, but it’s an income and they’re helping me look for a job, write applications, etc. - even if it’s just to escape the boredom.
I know you’re probably American and the state probably doesn’t care much about such stuff, but it might be worth looking into something like it, even if it’s just to force yourself to get used to the horrid rhythm of the 40 hour work week and have something recent on your resume that looks good to the bourgies you have to beg for work to.
I feel like I’ve seen hundreds of people posting on this site about this kind of struggle, sparse employment and social connections plus being stuck in a HCOL area.
Now if only there were a place that was affordable, accessible, and progressive, where you can support yourself with jobs that are widely available and it’s easy to meet people. Yes, indeed…
