Re: do I meet requirements
Perhaps. Social Security Regs for total disability require that you show you are unable to perform any substantial gainful employment due to a medically determinable impairment or combination of impairments.
Much depends on what your medical records say about the severity. If you are no longer able to work, call Social Security and file a disability claim.
