I applied. I was not approved. I could have appealed it, but I didn't see the point. My mom is helping me out financially and I do plan on working soon. Admittedly, I'm not the most worse off person with bipolar and I'm sure there are lots of worse cases then mine. I'm not sure exactly how they pick and choose who to give disability to, I'm assuming it's along the lines of Einey Meeny, Miney, Mo. *I'm not bitter* LOL.

But seriously, I don't know the stats for how many people get approved, but I'm going to assume not many do. Or if they do they had to appeal the first rejection or applied again at a later date. The government doesn't want to pay out money unless they absolutely have to. Don't even get me started on what I think of our government and how they deal with mental health
