From what you are saying here, I think it would be very difficult to get your ex to pay you support. You don't have a written agreement, several years have gone by without you seeking support from him, and it's not clear that you have grounds to expect spousal support. Just being financially in need is not sufficient grounds to require an ex-husband to provide you with money. I think this path is not going to lead you anywhere.
I suggest talking with your ODSP case worker about how you can get yourself workplace-ready. I have several family members and ex-family members on ODSP and they have been able to find jobs through ODSP's services - not great jobs, but certainly more money than you have now, and work will get you out of the house more often and help improve your outlook on life. If your anxiety and other disability issues are making it difficult to work, ask your worker about referral to a psychologist or counsellor or support group for help.
I'm sorry to hear that you're in this position, and I hope that you're able to obtain some financial independence through the workforce.
