I have an appointment with the Dr for Disablity Determination tomorrow. I know it is a psych assessment... But I still feel that someone who isnt Bipolar, cant understand 100% what its like to be Bipolar.

I'm still scared. I mean, I am gonna be 100% honest with the Doc. But I just worry that I cant put what I deal with in the right words.

Try writing things out before hand. Have you kept a journal or mood chart? Do you have any record of hospitalizations? Write down specifically why it is impossible for you to work. Try to be specific about symptoms that working will trigger for you.

Most of all, good luck.

i got diability last august thank god. I had to go threw all the psych evaluations and all to. I was lucky. Let them know every thing that is going on in your brain all the time. I was denied the first time and then i appealed and got it. Don't give up. You need the time off work to get to all the dr. Appointments and get used to ay new meds. Good luck. I'll keep you in my prayers
