Disability for depression?

Does anyone have experience with this? It's something I've considered for years. Always had trouble holding down a 9-5 but wondered if it was because I was lazy or didn't enjoy the work. More time in therapy has taught me my depression is a lot more severe than I originally thought.
Always ended up running small businesses whether online or whatever, or working for myself in some form or another. But I've wondered about getting disability for MDD and Generalized Anxiety.
I have a decent gig right now at an international company that's well-known in the manufacturing industry but I have to wonder how long it will last before I'm running another small company or doing sales on ebay to get by.
Is getting disability for depression viable or realistic? I don't want to abuse government assistance that I don't need but I also need to be more realistic about how well I function in the "regular" world. I'd want it to be temporary and would only use it as long as I needed to, until I found better ways to cope.
Any thoughts/advice?

If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
