Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

I finally quit my job not too long ago. It was making me crazy. My anxiety was always really high before and during work. But the problem is that happens at every job I've ever had. I have had so many jobs it's ridiculous. But I have a good reason. I have a type of schizophrenia, plus major depression and an anxiety disorder. I am also sad though and feel very depressed about the whole situation because I can't seem to hold onto a job because of my mental health issues. I am going to reapply for disability. I have an appointment to do just that tomorrow. I really hope I get approved this time because I really need it. I get such terrible anxiety with every job I've ever had. It is very hard to control. My psych prescribed clonazepam for it and is helping a little bit. It helped at my dentist appointment today. I was so scared to go into the dentist today. But that med helped. I really hope that with the increase in my Thorazine that will help with the fears/delusions and the voices. I am not sure what else to do. I have a friend I can talk to about my anxiety and fears, but not about my depression.

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmonĀ

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....


It costs you nothing. They are paid from your benefit should you win this time. If you don't win, you do not owe. They get a percentage of your award ... up to $5,000 (when I did it).
You have to have applied and been denied. You qualify for a lawyer. Be sure to get one who specializes in SS Disability.
>> ...going to re-apply for disability.
A lawyer who specializes in SSDI applications will definitely be needed, and I would guess you are also going to need a *lot* of documentation for trying to convince a judge you are actually unemployable because you are incapable of working. My own lawyer hold told me I did not have any chance of being approved, but the judge that day was an exceptional one who looked past the matter of documentation and actually listened to my own report of having truly made an honest effort to work until I was 65 but not being able to do so. I wish you the best and hope you get a great judge!
