Get this. I thought I had a friend. When I mentioned I "may" get ssdi, he mentioned calling the hotline for reporting people. The last time he called, he ripped me a new rear end saying I just don't want to work and am lazy. Heck, Imwas very active while manic, however bad back limits me. Long story short, I told him how I felt which included some choice words. I figure I won't hear from him fornquite a while. He's always been the type to get under your skin. My therapist had told me to tell him I'm busy when he would call me, but I don't lie well at all. That's the same reason I've bombed at selling cars twice.

So to summarize, I will tell no one else. And if I somehow get blessed to receive ssdi, I have a couple of good stories I will when asked what I do for a living. I''m a very poor liar, but I'm determined to lie about my mental condition.
