They also check into your work history, al of my jobs were ended bc of my illness. I know its not the norm to get it that fast but it does happen. I had also alreadybeen out of work for two years and in and out of mental hospitals. I just knew I could possibly never function in the work field like a normal person can. I often got paranoid and of course all of my emotions were so much more intense than the normal persons.
For me it was thebest decision. I hope you do whats best for you.  |
I dunno.. I mean I could keep just going from job to job to job and struggling to make it. I just feel like I'm not working as much as just 'waiting to get fired' or waiting for the day someone really pisses me off and I quit. I've quit several jobs and been fired a few times. I've been to jail, the hospital, and have at some point freaked out on everyone that is close to me. I can be a real a-hole and without remorse. The only reason I kept some jobs so long is because I worked mostly by myself.
Now I know that it was bipolar related, not ADHD, so I'm thinking that this is going to be a repeating pattern for me, and not conducive to a happy life. I believe you can still work on disability, you just can't make too much money, but I might be wrong. But if that's true, I could just work part time.
It's just something I'm considering because I don't know what's going to happen if I keep doing what I've been doing. Am I gonna have a job for several years, and then one day decide to scream at my boss? I dunno.. it very well could happen. Or maybe someone will piss me off real bad and I'll whack them over the head with an aluminum rod. I've had such thoughts before.
