Remember when you do start to work again you have to ensure your job has the same or better benefits than disability does or a high enough wage that you would have no problem in covering everything yourself.
BTW I was placed on disability for severe, chronic, treatment resistant depression.

I have the same problem with being resistant to treatment. One med did help get me out of my darkest time, but now I can't seem to get above that. I''ll be okay one minute then depressed or anxious the next and I have an extremely hard time being out in public or even going to visit a friend.
That's the problem with getting off disability once you're on because you lose the benefits and it's hard to find a decent paying job especially one that will accept someone with bipolar, depression, etc.
