One good day finally, but why do the bad days far outweigh the good ones?

[BlackSheep79]

Sometimes it feels like the bad ones are never ending. I recently had success with Haldol for three weeks and it was the best feeling I had ever had, I didn't want it to ever end. Then I went into a depression out of the blue and now I am doing the switch-a-roo to Latuda. I had to start all over and now I don't know if I will ever get that feeling back, the world was finally different to me, there was finally hope and now it is gone. I can relate to exactly what you are saying. It's just part of the illness unfortunately.

I so naive to this, I don't know how to talk to my clinic. I only see dr. twice in 7 months. I'm so confused. I'm so mixed up. I don't know if I'm depressed, hyper, angry, sad, happy. I just don't know who I am. It sure as hell ain't fair.

And if someway, somehow I don't get ssdi, I honestly don't think I will be able to survive. And I feel confident that I will not get it.

I know how society/govt. feels. A single man with no tax payers (children) middle aged (half worn out) and not a veteran, can live under a bridge, eat road kill, and die because I see it all the time on the news.

For me also - more bad days then good. I am so miserably depressed! I hate it. My doc is on vacation so I had to see a fill-in last week. I told him how I feel but he would not make any changes to my meds because he wasn't my usual doc!! It will be the 25th before I can see him. I have inc. my prozac on my own (I know a big no no - but I have to do something!!). So far the inc. is not helping any!!!

You are part of US. You can legally apply for food stamps, public housing, & medical but you would have to do a works program. If you're not cleared to work your pdoc or t will fill out the paperwork. Ask your therapist how to get your psychiatrist.

As soon as you get up tomorrow go to a food bank and sit at housing for a public for a studio. Start looking now for rooms to rent. Apply for every single public housing in whatever area you are willing to live in. Each city has there own housing and each county does too. This should be about an two hour radius around where you really want to live but try 2 hours away from each person you care for.

What do you mean you don't know how to talk to the clinic?

Question? How does living with a parent affect any of the above? Someone once told me I was basically consideted homeless. If I'm living with parent, am I considered in his household or not? That's why I dropped food stamp claim. The cell phone claim stated if I was in a household with a phone, it made me ineligible.

See. I'm pretty stupid. All I've ever known was to get up and go to work.

I'm so lost in this world it ain't even funny.

What's my chances of ssdi?

If you don't get it (if it's your first application, they'll say no. They always do), don't get discouraged. Find a lawyer who won't charge you till you get it.
Everything else will be easier to get once you have it.

I did apply once and got denied. I applied a second time, then got an attorney, and have been waiting exactly 1 year for a hearing date. I've gotten very anxious waiting the last couple of months. I have so many mixed feelings.

I'm so sorry... I had no idea it took so long for adults. I can see why you'd be anxious. I hope you get it.
