If you can afford to live off it and be able to get your meds it may be the right choice for you but it may take you awhile to get it. My sister is on disability for her bipolar and it took her 3 years to get it. Fortunately they could get by on what her husband makes while she waited and she is covered by his insurance. I struggle at work sometimes but... Personally, disability would be a bad choice for me. There are some days when the depression hits and the only thing that gets me out of bed is knowing that I have to go to work people are depending on me.
