**** man. Sorry for your troubles.
Most everything I came here to say has been said.
Hopefully your interview goes well tomorrow. I'm not a particularly good interviewee. I think the problem was when I really wanted a job I was Johnny Tryhard and probably came across as desperate. I'd over-prepare and it came along as fake, I think. I did better on interviews that I didn't necessarily think it was a job I wanted and just had a conversation. No clue if that applies to you, but if Buehler445 was in your shoes, that's probably how it would go.
If it doesn't work out, the first thing I'd do is get the first job I could get. If it's flipping burgers so be it. It isn't fixing your problems, but every dollar counts.
Next thing I'd do is beat every bush you've got. Every dude you've ever worked with, I'd be firing on them to see if they have any leads. Any buddies, anybody. No shame in asking.
You're probably suffering ageism, but in my industry it's going the other way. My employee is 15 years older than me with no experience and I love the guy. He comes every day and does the job without complaining. Sign me up for more of those dudes. I'm guessing other industries are fine hiring graybeards too.
Sounds like you are doing the SSA route, so good to go.
If you need anything reach out. I've reviewed several people's resumes over the years. Sometimes another set of eyes matters.
Go get it bud.
