I have been on SSI for many years fighting my symptoms. I finally got accepted into an AmeriCorps position for 6 months, you can have those positions and keep your SSI and Medicaid, etc.. but I had to drop out not because of bipolar disorder but because I couldn't physically keep up. But that short time I worked, I was much happier with myself and having extra money felt good. Now I'm in a deep depression. Having an ill husband seriously complicates things. I was so much happier... I saw a job listed near me I thought sounded perfect for me but I realized it was posted over a month ago and they didn't respond when I tried to apply and I couldn't reach them over the phone and it just sent me more depressed...

I have been through periods of unemployment, and it definitely makes me more depressed. I need structure to my day. I'm not looking forward to retirement.
I hope you get the job. |

I now got two I'm talking too... The other one is another AmeriCorps position local to where I am at. 11 months. The permanent position however has more to do with what I really know about and is still local. I talked with both my caseworker and the housing place today and they think I need to be employed to better my current condition. I would prefer the permanent position of course but the other one would be fine too.

Pdoc thinks I should be employed too, but maybe just part-time. A social worker is going to talk to us and maybe we can figure out somethings.
