I am glad things are improving for you. Our stories sound similar.
i had just applied for SSI and then was offered a job. Benefits too.
After losing being diagnosed with having type 1 bipolar and severe PTSD I lost my family, job, House... everything and ended up being homeless for about 4 months.
SOld my plasma to pay for my meds. It was about as low as i could get. and now things are looking up.
Here's to life getting better.
Peace

Chris
