I don't know how long it takes them to decide if I am still eligible for continuing disability, I still go to a dr and therapist and get treatment. There was a lapse in my treatment from june to december because of paranoid going in to see them, my dr snapped at me and I didn't want to go back til december and I hope SSI don't hold it against me. I have bipolar, ocd and social anxiety and got disability when I was 17 (I am 29 now). I recently got the PTSD diagnosis added. So I guess that means I am worse not better. But I am still freaking worried. I am a single mom and I have to be able to provide for my son with out having the stress of a job because stress makes my symptoms worse.

Now my landlord wants me to sign a year lease (I have been here 8 years only had to sign one year lease I don't know why they are doing this now). But I don't want to sign it until I get the letter in the mail saying I get continued disability. Because if I don't, I won't be able to afford to live here, I would have to couch surf or something and don't want to be trapped in a lease on a place I can't pay for. Telling my landlady this intimidates me because I have social anxiety. So what do I do? the new lease doesn't start til may so hopefully I can sign it on may 1st and by then they would have decided?

How long does it take them to decide that my disability will continue? I turned in the papers jan 14th. All my friends and family still say I have issues and that I will get it still and I shouldn't worry. My therapist said I shouldn't add anymore stress on, like a job. I worry I guess because is mental health stuff enough? The only physical stuff i have is mild tendonitis and severe menstrual cramps that last 5 days a month so I can't do anything but lay in bed.

It sucks having my fate in someone else s hands. Please help me!
