You will usually start getting credit card offers 6 months or so after the discharge date. Unless you are sure you can limit your spending using the card to an amount you can pay off at the end of the month or the card payment date, don't do it. They carry a high interest rate and an annual fee, and penalties for late payments, so you quickly get past your limit, which carries it's own fee.
If you have gotten your finances under control, go for the cheapest interest-rate card you can find, and one with a low($300 to $500) limit. Don't go near the limit with your monthly spending. Get a secured card where you deposit money that is collateral for your card charges. Best bets are your local bank or credit union. Make sure you understand everything about the card before you sign anything.
If you need a card to live on, you are going to have the same problems with your credit, except you will not be able to get another discharge.
