>>I appreciate the tip about applying for disability

I should add some info to give you a more complete picture... In terms of disability I had no problem at all applying, getting my doctor to fill out the form, getting it approved (temporary disability from the state of New Jersey). Depression is a recognized illness, understood to impede our ability to think, interact, work. If you have a diagnosis of depression, bipolar, or something else I would think the doc would give you no more trouble signing for you as a person who had surgery or something.

My current doc was filling out my forms, the reason he declined recently is because of my condition. Although I am still struggling a lot, it is definite that my meds have kicked in, and therefore in medical terms I have "recovered" and therefore no longer eligible for disability.
