disability help

hi....I've had my pouch since 1987.  I did ok with it for many years...worked as a teacher and then as a school.counselor for 23 years. I eventually just could not manage all the pooping,bloating due to trying not to.poop,leakage,etc....I broke down and quit.  I feel ashamed I could not make it to 30 years....we are now living on one teacher salary.  I'm to scared and ashamed to try to get some disability....but I know in my heart I qualify. Any ideas?  Most lawyers may not be that interested in my case as I am on Texas...they do not take out social security here,but I did work through high school and college...my as disunity is around 750 a month....not a big pay off foran attorney to fight with social security..there is just no way I can so that job when I poop so much....and it is loud and gassy....and for years I made it,by not eating all day...I was young and could make it..now I have to.eat more regularly in order to have energy...and I poop every time I eat..no matter what I eat  if I take anything to slow it down,I get I get intestine blockage....doe have requires hospital stays. Is there any advocacy out there for people like me? I do not want pity....I just want some help. Thanks to all out there.
