It looks like I am in a similar situation as others here which eases my mind a little. I did work for 10 yrs at the same office job which was probably ideal situation for me because I was pretty much left alone to do my job. But that company downsized and laid us all off in the Spring. From there I was hired and fired from two jobs in the past 6 months. Fired for slow learning as they put it.
I have physical problems which led my dr to order me to apply for disability over 2 years ago which I refused. After I lost the two latest jobs my Vocational counselor and also two doctors ordered me to file for SSDI for both physical, PTSD and brain injury reasons. So I'm resting at the moment in the middle of filing for PTSD. Haven't been out of work for 6 months so I haven't bothered filing as I was told I have to be not working for 6 months straight at least. This is really hard for me because I have worked the past 15 years straight with barely any vacation time even so I don't know what to do with myself at home. Being at home has sunken me deeper into depression and I have worse PTSD than when I was working. Though at my last job I cried in the car before going in every day and sometimes cried and shaked on the job which was in manufacturing instead of the office work I was accustomed to. So it probably is best I'm not at that job, but it feels weird not earning a paycheck.
