Thank you for sharing. Finding a source of hope can be difficult. I find mine in my faith. Some find hope in the loved ones that might need them. Others might find hope in strangers that might need them. The hope itself becomes a purpose. It means knowing that life is hard and harder when suffering, but finding peace in the love and happiness of others that need you. Some need you that might yet have had the honor of knowing you. I am honored to just know of you. Thank you. Please do endure. God Bless.

I saw there are companies fight for you disability insurance. Some are pay. some are free. There are scams.

whats so hard is I have worked 28 years and rarely took off from work.
It feels like Im being punished.

It is so difficult to get disability for mental health issues. I straight with GAD and reoccurring major depression. I left work after a complete meltdown. I had worked since I was 15 and in a management position. I have been denied twice. It took me almost two years to apply because I thought after a vacation I would be fine. Lol. On my second round I had a major anxiety attack and couldn’t fill out the paperwork. My husband had to fill it out for me. The interview was awful as it pointed out everything I could no longer due. Finally I decided to get a lawyer. Mine does not charge unless you win your case and then it is a percentage up to a certain amount. He has taken care of everything which is a relief but at the same time a lengthy process. It is over a year more until I see a judge, which scares me to death. At first I was in denial I needed it and now I’m terrified I won’t get it. Either way I feel like a failure. We ended up having to sell our house due to medical bills and medications, and I have good insurance. I think the worst was the feeling that they thought I was dishonest or something. I did complain to both my psychiatrist and psychologist about my ability to pay and they did refer me to some free programs and financial assistance through my insurance. However at that point it was really too late. Now my doctor said she doesn’t want to endorse my disability claim since she feels it will cause me to withdraw from society even more. Ask you doctors for resources, ask the nurse, or front office. Also get a lawyer.

If you are talking about SOCIAL SECURITY disability, it is STANDARD to be denied. That is why there are lawyers who will appeal the claim for you ... and they don't get paid until you WIN ... which is paid retroactively to when you first filed ... their cut is capped and only if you win. Get a SS Disability lawyer if this is the case.

Hang in there. Money stuff takes a long time to work out...

No point stressing about something on day one of a two year process. Hang in there and perhaps get a lawyer like the others suggest
