I'm just wondering what everyone's life situations are like. If you feel comfortable, if you could answer the following questions, that would be great:
____________________________________________ Are you on disability? Do you pay for your own food/housing? Do you have a job? Have you been hospitalized? ____________________________________________ If you're curious the answers for me are No, No, Yes, No. Just a curiosity thing. No judgment here. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

Are you on disability? No but my pdoc thinks I should be.
Do you pay for your own food/housing? Yes (but only through my husband) Do you have a job? no (but I stay at home with my kids) Have you been hospitalized? Yes (IP twice & IOP three times)

I'm not on disability even though every pdoc I've seen has said they consider me disabled. I just can't afford to wait for the whole process and not work. Also I haven't been able to hold down a decent paying job for a long period to pay into SS so I wouldn't get much if I did get it. Yea it's a catch 22 and it's BS. However I did get what they call a "closed period" back pay after a hospitalization. I had to prove in front of a judge that I couldn't work for a period of about a year and I got about 10k. It was gone quickly after paying my property taxes that were so behind, I was going to lose my home. I bought my house with inheritance from my mom. Without that money I would be sleeping in my car. So I'm thankful for that. As far as food goes, I get state help but not enough. So I can afford good food for about 2 wks until I have to pay out of pocket. I just got a new job a month ago even though I don't feel mentally ready yet. My bills are piling up and far behind so I had no choice but to get back into work. I already had a panic attack in the job and was sent home! Yea, embarrassing! [trigger] I've been in IP 3 times after suicide/OD attempts. It's no vacation that's for sure! |
