The time I went off SSDI first I did a lot of recovery work including one year of partial hospitalization. I worked a few jobs and failed right away. I decided to work as a peer counselor that was the best of both worlds. I learned about mental illness while helping others with theirs. I did that for a couple years and went back to school and got a masters in psychology. Department of Rehab did not think I could hack Grad school so they did not help until I went back to them with a 3.7 GPA report card in hand. My education and good mental health came together at the right time so I went back to work never looking back until I had a major episode a year ago.
