i was shocked when my therapist told me she thought i should quit work and go on disability because of my depression. To me, i dont think im that low and if i did completely not work, i think id be worse off depression wise. what do you all think...do you think youd be worse if you didnt have a job to go to?

Get ready for a long wait. It is not that easy to get disability, I have been waiting for almost 3 years now.

I think there are times, having a job is the only reason I get out of bed. As much as I hate where I work.

I was in your shoes when my therapist suggested it also but i was blowing upat my co workers and not able to fullfill the position i had for 14 yrsand the stress level was a relief and i got my disability check 6 months after i filed.for each person it is what will make your life less stressed and i don't have the anger or upset since i am not worling due to i found other things to fill my time and not having to interact with as many people...do what you feel in your heart theres always time to decide what you want to do work or apply for disabilty but you have to wait 6 months with no income coming in.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
