I am sorry to hear that you are going through all of this on top of the depression. I hope your T appointment helps.

You said you are still not to work, have you considered filing for Social Security Disibility Benifits? When the T and Pdoc thought that I may be long term they had me apply for benifits. The reason I am asking is because I have known people who went too long without applying for benefits even if they may have a chance to go back to work. When I applied I had to apply for both SSI and Social Security Disibility at the same time. The thing is on the Social Security Disibility is that the take the date that you apply for full benifits, and from that date of application go back 5 years of your FICA payments to determine your age/amount paid in during the prior 5 years from application, for the amount of your disibility monthly benifit.

I applied right away when living in a group home and they went back 5 years and for the age of 21 I had paid in enough to be eligible for full benifits. After about 2 years I was eligable for Medicare part A & B, and state Medicaid.

I have known some who have waited too long and the time they were not employeed during the prior 5 years went against them as they counted that time as being nothing paid in. I don't know just in a long way wanted to pass that on. Even if you plan to go back to work, it may be helpful to apply for Social Security as it usually takes them so long anyway, and if you were approved before you had a steady job, at least you would have a guarenteed income and health insurance.

I do hope things begin to look up for you (((((Dave)))))
