I just wish being on SSDI wasn't so black & white in the application. Many types of MI disability have no rigid line between functional and not so functional. Instead of being rewarded for trying to work( let a person have a savings account during these times to earn money that is exempt from the SSDI rules until a person has been able to work for more than 18months with out being hospitalized or on leave) it ends up being discouraging for anyone who wants to work during the times their health is good.

I too have tried many times to go back to work.
