I have been receiving SSDI for 3 years and I have been very grateful but I am getting very depressed staying home and having no routine. I have always loved working, I loved the socialization, the fact I was being productive, the routine, the sense of accomplishment of finishing projects. I tried 2 years ago to return to work and it didn't take long before I had to quit, I started having flare-ups and a lot of anxiety.
I have been offered a 15-20 hour position in a quiet, low lit, on stress office
mainly doing data input and answering phones. They are nice of enough to let me go in when I want as long as I put in at least 15 hours. I am so afraid of letting these people down and I am afraid of losing my SSDI but I need to do something. I got to the point that I wouldn't get dressed for the day because I had no where or no one to see. I was isolating myself and that isn't mentally healthy.
I have tried volunteering but both times I was overloaded with work and crashed.
Does anyone work and receive SSDI? How does it effect benefits. I tried reading through everything but I am totally confused!! Any help would be appreciated!

Fun facts to up your day:The Big Bang wasn't IN space... it was OF space. How does that happen? Well, now you know why I'm NOT a physicist. Cuz I dunno. It just happened. Thena gain a new hypothesis is that our "black energy/matter" is actually waste dumped in our universe from somewhere else's black holes. How and all that? Don't ask. You start getting all "The Matrix" and muttering...
