If it is under the limit of SGA then it wouldn't reduce your benefit or cause trouble. The amount is 500 something a month. I think it just went up in 2018 so I don't want to quote an exact amount.

The only problem with getting an attorney right away is they don't really do any work until you are denied the first time. I got an attorney after I applied, but before I knew if I was approved or not. Inwas approved right away and now that attorney will get almost 6000 from me.

Please do! I actually feel more depressed since I heard the words approved. I haven't been out of bed today. It's like I don't know what to do with myself now.

That is a very good idea. I am in intensive treatment right now, but want to make future plans which hopefully means I can go back to work one day.

I filed July 2017. I was sent to a mental CE Sept. 28th and was approved Oct 2nd. This was all on an initial application. I have spotty treatment but have been in and out of treatment since I was 14 and I'm now 31.

So I found out today my SSDI has been approved on my initial application. I am happy, but feel so bad about it. I feel like a total waste. This can't be my life.

I just found out today I was APPROVED for SSDI. I am both happy and sad. I feel like a waste of space.

I am in your same boat, but I am 31. I just can't accept that I won't ever again. I want to work, bit I also need to get better. In your case I think a good answer for the docs question would be I would love to work, but my illness and symptoms keep me from being able to do that.

Well to be honest if you ask anyone most will say they don't want to work but have to. Most with a disability want to work. I am fighting for SSDI rigjt now and working would give me more income than SSDI ever would. Even if I win my case, I want to continue treatment and get to a point to get...

Initial approval. I have concentration issues, but really don't know how they could tell with what they asked. I get very bored with things. I have been DX ADD. The first time or second or third time you ask or have me do something may be easy...it is the long haul over and over same thing type...

Sorry, I haven't been on in awhile...a lot has happened. I went for my mental CE yesterday with a psychologist. She asked nothing of my symptoms or life events. Just memory type of questions. Really lady of I could give my memories away I would. I have never stayed I have memory lose just have...

The report only says some stuff not even the tip. I am going to let her see it and see what she says.

What if what I was told is correct? What if I can't keep a container or door closed? What if I really go insane!? I know there are always people that have had it worse than me. I don't know if it would be so bad if it was only me. I am the second oldest of 6. I watched and saw what was done to...

I have had anxiety for as long as I can remember everyday for at least 5 years. My chest hurts daily and it feels like my heart skips beats. It has become a normal for me. Over the past 5 years maybe once a month is would go into a full blown panic attack. For the last year and a half I have...

Reading this thread has me not sure about EMDR. I have serious repeated daily sexual, mental and physical abuse that happened by my mom's boyfriend from when I was 8 till 13.5. Then many traumas after. My T is having a hard time figuring where we should start. She says maybe start with my home...

O, and to update everyone I saw my T last week and will again tomorrow. We didn't even get to file the grievance because of everything we talked about. I explained to her that the head P in the ward told me to tell her he doesn't think I can do EMDR because he doesn't think I can keep a box...

So, I just went and got My hospital records today from this experience.....and let me tell you I am pissed! There are so many thing in there that are not accurate. Some of the things were hard to read and I had to step back and say to myself yes that is you, but some of the stuff is complete BS...

So I talked to my T on the phone. She wants me to file a grievance and is going to help me do so next week when I see her. She could not believe that I was put in a ward. The P is new to her office and she said the grievance will go to the president of the company.

I was told to ask my T for a new P or to call a number on Monday. Most P around here schedule months out. I had Klonipin 4 years ago and prescribed as needed. I had Vistrail last year prescribed to take as needed and never had a refill and still have over half the bottle. I never took daily meds...

I have taken klonipin in the past. For the sleep med they gave me 50 one night with vistrail and the next night which was last night just 100mg of sleep med. I still sat awake for a long time. The dulo med they gave me one day 30mg twice a day and then moved it to 60 mg once a day. I feel tired...

I didn't have to take meds but it was made clear to go home faster you have to. So I did. I'm not so upset about the meds because that is why I went to a P in the first place. I needed help sleeping and a rescue med. The klonipin I had was 4 years old and I was almost out of Vistrial. I don't...

When I went to the better side there were only 9 patients. So they weren't waiting on a bed. I am wondering if it was a way to keep me longer. After I signed the form to volunteer...I then asked so I can now sign myself out against medical advice and I was told if I did that they could then keep...

I have never taken daily meds just as needed meds like klonipin and Vistral. They now have me on Clonazepam (klonipin) 0.5 mg as needed Quetiapine 100mg at bedtime Vistrial 25mg at bedtime Duloxetine 60mg take in morning

Oh and I also want to add... I was made to sign a form so I could move to the better side of the floor. The paper then said I was volunteering to admit myself at that point. I was told if I signed that I could go home sooner. If I didn't sign it I had to stay on the scary side for the reminder...

The floor psych that is the head of that dept. told me that it had to be 72 hours. He actually waited to release me today until after 5pm to make sure it was 72 hours. The thing I don't understand is the new P I went to see is in the same building as my T and had access to all my records with...
