I had to go on disability. It took 2years...
I had HORRIBLE chronic pain for 3 1/2 years plus undiagnosed bipolar. Hang in there. Any state disability you can use? |

You might very well qualify for disability having two illnesses. But remember, even on disability, you are allowed to work part time. You are limited to what you can make per month...I think it is $800. But if and when you feel a little better, hopefully you can either find PT work or do something creative from home like selling etc to earn extra money. Just a thought...

Disability. If you're in the US, apply for SSI(if you've never worked or only worked p/t) or SSDI, if you worked full time. I was latter. Applied March, 2011, got it May, 2011. That is unbelievably fast but my medical record was so well documented, showing my bipolar was untreatable, that the review panel must've said, "Poor effen b****rd."

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