Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Hello, my name is Beth and I have several mental disabilities...depression, bipolar with psychosis, anxiety, PTSD, panic disorder with agoraphobia, cognitive disorder, personality disorder..also I have sacroilitis, SI joint dysfunction, Lg. S. Facet Joint arthropathy...I am on medication for my mental issues but I can't work. I have chronic pain due to the back issues. Because of my mental issues, my partner of 6 years has to take over the financial responsibilities...I get too stressed out and go into a psychosis state when my stress level gets too high. I have been hospitalized several times, i have had ECT treatments that have caused memory problems so I have to be reminded to take meds, shower, ect...my life is no where I had expected it to be 10 years ago...
what I am asking is, is there anyone out there that can help me prepare for my hearing, I have a really good lawyer and I met with him on friday and we went over what would happen. But every time I try to prepare myself and ask myself why can't I work I panic and go blank...I really need to win this case I have been trying since 2009. Is there anyone out there that knows what kind of questions they ask for mentally disabled people? If so could someone help me? I am really scared and nervous...as the days get closer my anxiety gets more intense...yesterday I got to the point I couldn't breathe and thought I was going to black out!
sincerely,
Beth

Lists of how many days you had to leave work because of your illness, or a record of how long you have been unable to work, because of disabilities.
With these things in hand...your Atty will probably do most of the talking..he is going with you ?
My interview went very well
Good luck
*I* sure as Hell would take notes with me when I went and, as ddancing says, tell the judge WHY you have written notes with you.
This isn't a test where you have to know the answers just off the top of your head.
Here!!!! I Googled what kind of stuff they might ask you and it kicked up a whole bunch of links, a few of them YouTubes!!!
You should be able to learn a little bit more about what to expect, and maybe what you should say and do yourself!!!!

Most are basic run of the mill like explain your day from the time you get up to when you go to bed How do you handle stress ect do not get yourself worked up and or worried . After you are done answering then rhw ewp deom Social Security will be asked by the judge what jobs are in a 90 mile vacinity of where you live that you could possibly be hired for given your circumstances your diease(s) your meds ect hopefully the rep wont have many :)
Best of luck
