I got denied

heretic

I got turned down for SSDI, I tried and they said no.

I feel like hell. I can't keep working and I can't be homeless.

Every day I sit at work and think about killing myself. I hate it so bad.

I don't know what to do. If I leave I will be homeless living in my car.

I want to be dead and have this fucking miserable life over with.

Hugs, heretic, I can only imagine how all of this is compounding how you already feel about everything.

I wouldn't take no for an answer. Is contacting a lawyer an option? Some work exclusively on these cases.

I'd also be pounding on the door of every charity in town. And also every politician you can think of. There has got to be some kind of safety net for you.

OOOOXXOOOOOO

Don't know the details of SSDI ... but for Social Security Disability ... getting denied is almost always the case .... hence, .. SS Disability lawyers.

Mine got me approved .. took 5 years .. but the back pay was GREAT.

In fact, you HAVE to have been denied at least once before they will take your case ... but this is not the same as SSDI.
