This is what the lawyer says about the statistics:

I would not bother with those statistics about differing rates of approvals from state to state. Those numbers change month by month and year by year.

I have decided to take your approach, Buggs. My p-doc is super supportive. I may or may not have luck finding someone like her elsewhere. And my ex-husband seems to have cooled down. I do not have many friends, but at least I have someone locally, and no one in Minnesota. So for now I am staying put and filing for SSDI in June.

Why do you have to wait for June to apply?

i'm glad you're not moving. you have no idea how cold it can get. just the cold itself is depressing, another life obstacle.

Rereading and crying.

T says it is good that I am finally crying. Feelings need to come out. She says it is better than 'dry tears'

Roommating in Minneapolis/StPaul runs about 400 utilities included. I guess this is a separate question - how advisable is it for a bp to share living quarters with someone?
Sorry. I'm confused.

1. How is it any of your ex-husband's businses where you live, and where does he get off telling you to get out of the area?

2. What happened to seeing your kids more? How can you do that if you're far away?

Blue is right - it was almost a year ago. Moot now.

Hi,

Just breaking in here with a question -which may well have been answered elsewhere, but there are a lot of threads so not sure.

You had said in another thread that your neuropsych eval came out with no illnesses/disorders. What is your SSDI based on? Did you get another assessment?

The SSDI idea was from last year when I had Bipolar I. The neuropsych assessment came back with no Axis I, but it can be both due to right medications or no underlying illness. So it is not decisive. The neuropsych came back with personality traits - self-defeating, paranoid, and dependent - but without full-blown personality disorder, but when we looked at the criteria for the self-defeating PD with the T, I fully meet them. I would say, "meet and exceed". We then looked at the criteria for dependent PD with the p-doc and I do not meet them but do have traits. Not a full blown dependent PD. I myself looked at the paranoid and I do not recognize any of them at all, so I have no idea why the assessment revealed them. I will talk to the T about it.

I will no longer file for SSDI.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
