So I have been living on SSI income for the past couple years which I struggled to get on. But I have been feeling a bit better over-all psychologically speaking...I still struggle but I don't feel as bad. I do not think I am in any way just ready to jump into employment of any kind and give up the SSI in fact I could very well regress into a much worse state if I did that. But I guess I am not sure how to approach gradual improvement without risking just having my SSI income ripped out from under me before I establish something else. I mean part of why I feel better is that I got into a good relationship...but I still have a lot of the same difficulties just am not so down on myself about it currently.

So IDK guess I don't need to worry a whole lot, I do have a lot of diagnoses that are considered to typically be long term disabling...but I worry about things like my therapist having determined I don't need as much therapy and could move down to lesser treatment...but then of course I don't want the SSI administration to take that as some sign I'm 'cured' and ready to be thrown out into the work force when in reality I still have a lot of work to do on myself. I was thinking eventually figuring out how much part time work I could do and still keep some SSI income but then not sure if there is a limit on how long you can do that.

But yeah I don't know if anyone has any exact advice but can anyone else relate to these concerns?
