I got disability under age 50 within a year after being fired from my job. And I was fired for missing work in 2013 after two suicide attempts! I had a LOT of documentation and lord since then even more. I am 33 now and still have ssdi with a part time job. I work only two days a week. I tried working full time again last year and it was an epic fail (I ended up hospitalized.

I am grateful I have Medicare and ssdi. It’s not enough money to live luxuriously but I get by for now. I have a home right now with my granny, I can afford our groceries and my car is paid for. I have a lot to be grateful for. I wish SO much I could work full time but right now I just can’t. Documentation of my illness and hospital records are overwhelming.
