up my finances.
Remember how I was trying to avoid that 15 percent deduction from my check?
Yeah well the way the doctor was acting it didn't sound like he wasn't on board with the whole can not work even though I get SSDI. He didn't say one way or another that he felt I could work so I have no idea what he's gonna put on that form.
I"m worried. If he thinks I can work fine but let me know so I can be prepared when every thing gets yanked because of it. This will really fuck up my world if he decides I can work. Cause I already know I can't handle it. I'll try but in the past I've never been able to hold a job for long because of constant mistakes and lack of focus. And if I Can't get medications because my health care gets yanked because of all this I"m really fucked.
I'm depressed and worried.

You don't get answers if you don't ask questions. Just the way it works most of the time. You may not like the answer you get but at least the stress of not knowing is avoided and you can either relax or begin working a plan.
Hoping for the best outcome in this for you dk.
the thing is if you are on ssi already and he is a new doc it may not effect your beinifits.........espically if you have a psychologist who disagrees with him. In my case the psychologist does the diagnosing for the most part.
call really youll feel much better after.
I had to do this for a new Dr who l needed to fill in some paperwork for me its better if you make an app to see him hand him the letter and let him read it while you are there. After be very honest understand that he has to take you at your word because he is new but you are willing to see him for a fresh review in a few weeks time so he can re-asses for himself but that will be too late for the paperwork.
Now Id say give him a week if you can or a few days at least then call and see if he has made his decision or if you can talk about it.
I stress out over this stuff big time Im lucky I have a team psychologist, psychiatrist, case manager,
anyway my point is they talk me down my friends step in when they arent availible. so hang in there im sure it is just him wanting to put the proper dx down so you do not loose your benifits. :)
Have them read it over. Call a local drug store and get over the counter prices for your drugs. Tell the admin that that iis what you would have to pay for your drugs bec you would lose mmedicare. You wouldnt be able to afford it. And BP characteristics (wrong word) could cause you suice/depression, blah blah mania etc etc. and that the new Doctor you feel is misreading (dont say wrong) your history.
