I feel really guilty about it, eventhough I know I need it and haven't had a proper pay check for nearly three years.
How do others on disability deal with feelings of guilt about receiving money?
It feels very confusing because I wanted to be approved and I feel terrible when I read about someone being denied...
I don't know, it's just weird.

When I was out of work for 8 weeks, I felt bad about getting disability checks, even though I had paid for the coverage. I think most of the problem was that I felt bad because I was out of work. Where I work also provides the option to carry Long Term Disability coverage as well. I have the buy-up plan for short term and long term, so when I inevitably do go crazy again, I will have those options.
