I so understand your concern about losing SSDI. I took a job last fall and only managed to last a few weeks and it was a kick in the gut to know I physically couldn’t do it but it was also because memory wise and that I think bothered me the most. We Bipolar folks have struggles with what I can brain burn out , our minds race so much just due to bipolar but also the meds we take. I simply cant remember things like a did a decade ago.
My advise ? Just try to go about your life in whatever way works for you
hang in there !
