You can have unemployment and SSDI at the same time? Or do unemployment first, and when it's close to running out, do SSDI?
I'm not going to be able to afford doctor visits and meds while I'm on unemployment.

Well I was on unemployment and when my SSDI came through I got off of unemployment. I was able to recieve state assistance for medication, you may want to check into that and there was a local office with a psychiatrist and therapist that charged by income which was next to nothing because my unemployment was only 374 a week. There are options out there you just have to do your research. Help is out there for us we just have to find it becaue its not broadcasted. Take some time one day and do some research, Im sure there are places in your area that will help out as well. You can apply for medicade, help with food and all of this is just temporary until you get back on your feet. Dont feel ashamed to ask for help you have paid your dues into all of these programs with all the taxes you have paid. Its only fair that when you need help that these programs are there to help you too.
