I was diagnosed with major depression, anxiety, ADHD and Dyslexia. I’m in Georgia and I’m trying to get on disability because I just can’t seem to keep a job. I’m also a single mom so the stress of all of that is extremely hard.
i’ve been on disability since 2016 for depression and panic attacks.. i had several hospitalizations. got approved right away and got my check backdated to when i was first considered disabled in 2012. it sucks living with these conditions but don’t lose hope. paperwork and documents from doctors help. sorry to anyone going through this. you are not alone.
Omg is there anyway I can reach out to you about this?! I'm 3 years in with a more than obvious case .... literally & I don't have anyone in my life to ask questions. ♥️
Hello I suffer with depression and biopolar depression it's hell everyday it's gotten even worse my son passed away recently unexpected I'm suffering terribly
My psychiatrist doctor won’t just put me on disability. She is having me do it all myself, which is really difficult to do when you have low motivation and energy.
I have Major depression, anxiety, OCD, and I’m pretty sure ADHD. I’m just tired of feeling like I’m not doing enough at work when I’m trying as hard as I possibly can. It just crushes me and I feel it’s taking away from spirit of life at times. Feeling like other people are trying to one up me. It’s just really distressing but I’m not ready to go on disability but at times I feel I am or I need a break.
This is me right now.. been out of work for 5 months.. depressed anxious very severe. Doctor had me take off work.. and disability..glad I'm not alone...thanks for this video.
Thank You For Sharing. In 2019 I went on the disability as you did and got the treatment I needed. It was great getting the help. Unfortunately in 2021 due to the stress at work with excessive workload I have had a relapse. I feel ashamed, worthless and scared. Having to apply for a 2nd disability. I hope my job does not fire me.😥 I have a family to support. I have appointments scheduled with my psychiatrist and behavioral health therapist. Still on Cymbalta.
I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression a few years ago and due the ill treatment from my manager after I informed her about my condition, I quit. I tried finding work for well over a month afterwards, but was turned down every time. I wanted to be honest with the potential employers and notified them what I was diagnosed with and was getting treatment, apparently that was a stupid thing for me to do. I did have a chance for a job in hospital cafeteria, but they wanted to put me on a super late night shift alone after a month. I told them I wasn't comfortable with doing that because of my anxiety. Luckily they were super chill about it. I had to move out of my parents place do to the verbal abuse from my dad, luckily I had a place to go. I was doing a little better, but as things have gone array in the world so has my anxiety and I often find myself crying, I don't say anything to my husband about it, since I feel he doesn't really get it no matter how many times I've tried to explain. I'm seeing my OB/GYN next month for an unrelated issue, but I may talk to them about everything else too. I didn't know I could possibly get disability until a DHS worker asked me about it when I told her about my mental condition.
I’m 25 and I have severe depression, anxiety, mood disorder. I also have early stage of osteoarthritis in my back and patellofemoral pain syndrome in my knees. I’m trying to get disability I did the application, interview and I had to send off paperwork for more information ℹ️, and they gotten my medical records. Just waiting back on answer
Me and my boyfriend are thinking about going on Disability. We aren't lazy people and have worked a lot but we are also victims of trauma more than once, and our emotions are out of whack all the time. Work makes me anxious and stresses me out way more. we both have PTSD, and BPD :/
I was falling apart at work, and going on state disability was the best option I had. I’m glad I did it, however, I wish I had found my therapist either before my leave, or at least shortly after. Medication can help, but therapy gives us the useful tools we need to restructure our lives. Being able to work with a therapist without the stress of daily job is extremely helpful.
@@journeytowellness7096 Thank you for this and i'm so intrigued about how your story came about & so glad things are going well for you now, an the office is closed in my state for COVID-19 so im gonna try to stick out work until then and get my documents ready thank you so much and do you think this information will be enough for us as a couple to get disability
Rawr it is me Jac I didn’t even think about the offices being closed! I’m thinking they should have some kind of online process because people still need their disability. I mean, they surely wouldn’t stop seeing there are still people having surgery they need to recover from, as well as severe traumatic accidents. As for you and your boyfriend both getting disability, I don’t know if that would make a difference or not. I’m only guessing here, but disability is an individual affair so whether you and/or are put on disability shouldn’t matter. The best person to ask about things like that would be your doctor. If your doctor(s) think it’s best to be on disability because you (or both of you) are not fit for work, then that’s all you should need. Hope this helps and I wish you the best!
@@prettyhandsasmr_ Hey I am trying to do the same thing but it seems like when I call lawyers they mix up ssi and ssd. I have severe anxiety and have locked up myself inside since march. Anxiety rules my life and affects digestive health. One lawyer said the documents need to be of after i quit my job not before. Do you know if this is true? I have old pscy evals that state my diagnosis and my therapist is trying to get me on meds due to how bad it is. I am only hanging on to my job bec its remote.
@@leisurely6711 im so sorry your experiencing acute stress and anxiety like this. I believe I suffer from complex PTSD but i was diagnosed with ptsd and dissociative personality disorder. Anyone who has anxiety knows this is like hell on earth.. And yes i was told you either have to quit your job or be part time . I havent tried for it because I'm in no position . I live alone currently and i need my job right now. Do you live by yourself? You may have to stay with family till you can get help to get on that . apparently you can only make a certain amount of hours. :( if you ever need to talk. E mail me at jackiecalifornia04@yahoo.com
I've only had one Job that had lasted 2 years. One Job that lasted 1 year. All the rest were a matter of months, sometimes weeks. I'm 40 years old now. Eventually I became homeless and at 25 and tried to recover by joining the military. Discharged as an EOD because I was suicidal after 4 months. After getting out still couldn't do the job thing well but eventually met my wife and had two kids. Everything seemed to be fine until I quit my job, declared bankruptcy and lost our home. That was about 2 years ago. Since then I've been struggling with depression more than ever. Diagnosed with depression and "extreme" anxiety. I've also since become financially reliant on my wife. To pull my weight I take care of my children, keep the house up and budgeting. I've lost contact with all friends and relatives. Been going to therapist for about a year. Not looking for a pitty party, but wondering if it seems that in your opinion if I'd qualify? I know there's a ton that goes into it but looking for advice and tips because even the thought of going through a disability claim triggers my anxiety and depression all in itself. Thanks in advance.
@@dancer1 Thanks for asking. About 3 months ago I called one lawyer. In a nutshell they pretty much told me that unless I'm actively trying to kill myself, there's nothing they could do. "You need more inpatient admissions", they told me. This was extremely discouraging to me and I haven't been able to get the motivation or courage to try again. I'm very weary of taking medications of any kind, but finally decided to go with it. So far, I've been on meds for 1 week today and it seems to be working, although it's hard to tell because I was feeling good when I started taking them. I've also since been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and showing signs of PTSD.
Wow, that must be really frustrating for you. I’m sorry to hear that has been your experience. I’m very fortunate that my psychiatrist is more than willing to place me on temporary disability for depression when it’s clear that I need it. I’m not sure what your exact situation is, but it may be worth trying to find a different doctor or psychiatrist who would be more helpful in that area. The only advice I have to offer is to emphasize how your depression is preventing you from performing your job and that continuing to go to work would prevent you from getting better. I really hope this is useful and that you’re able to get the help you need and deserve.
@@journeytowellness7096 that's really nice of you. I just re read my comment & I'm sorry if that came off as rude in anyway whatsoever. & Thank you it's a slam dunk case. There's no reason for denial. I know it's just because so many people abused the system so now it's impossible. I can't help but have the it's not fair feeling. Thanks for the advice
im on disability for adhd in the UK. The executive function of emotional management and task priority makes me a liability in a work environment so they class adhd as suitable for disability.
I have anxiety panic disorder sleep isomia depression and mood disorder i take three types of medication, it is hard to apply for disability, i tried to apply for social security disability i got denied at a hearing back in 2017, this year 2020 i tired again to apply got denied because i did not have enough work credits, so know my case is pending for recorsideration ssi disability wish me luck this time that i might be approved 🤞
dude. i been on 2 disabilities since 2014 and out of work since 2012. and that pension since then but taken away because oof my disability. not that i need iit. i think. more to protect everyone else. because im crazy.
I'm disabled from both knees being shot my spine and back muscles and nerves being shot severe muscle spasms in my back high blood pressure severe sleep apnea and severe ADHD the group who diagnosed me with the ADHD said mine was the worst they've ever seen in an adult and as a result of the ADHD diagnosis come to find out it causes a very low reading and writing scores and my ADHD is so severe that I have clinical depression and clinical anxiety my body and my ADHD and depression and anxiety disorders and severe sleep apnea got to the point where I couldn't work anymore I filled for social security in march 2009 and just received the awarding of my SSI benefits in January of this year had to go through 4x of going through the process beginning through the alj the first time the alj had me go downtown of the capital city for my hearing and wasn't even there she was in st luis the so called vocational expert inadvertently made a point in my favor my lawyer started to farther that point and was told to sit there and not speak unless she was specifically called upon the second time the alj had me go to the same place and he never once asked a single question about my health issues the very reason why we were there he only asked me about the fraternity in which I belong to the third one acknowledged my health issues and the severity of them but still denied the last one granted my case after 14 years and 9 months of fighting
If you are talking about social security disability, adhd is actually recognized its in the book of listings its number 12.11. Adhd is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is what that listing is. Depression is 12.04
CURRENTLY IM ON DISABILITY FOR LEARNING DISABILITY AND DEPRESSION BECAUSE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I WAS DISCOURAGED BY MY SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER BECAUSE SHE PUT ME IN THE LOW WAGE JOB THATS TRAUMATIZE ME ALOT.IM CURRENTLY SEVERVE DEPRESSED BECAUSE I HAVE A LEARNING DISABILITY AND DEPRESSED.
What kind of work? What state (7:17)? In Florida here so not sure we have that. You can pay employer short term disability, and long term kicks in in like 90 days. Paid leave with health benefits from the start? when your doctor submitted the letter intitially how far out was you return date? Did Long Term Disability benefits kick in? How often did you have to fill out paper work for your employers? Did they ever terminate you?
Wendy Gee I’m sorry to hear you’re going through such a difficult time. Fortunately, once the decision is made by your family doctor or psychiatrist, it pretty much starts right then. I honestly can’t remember if I had to provide something in writing to my employer, but if so, it should be able to be done via email or fax, even if you just take a picture of the doctor’s notice to put in the email. As far as getting paid while on disability, you’ll need to fill out some paperwork with your doctor and either send in the mail, or take it to the state disability office in person. There may even be a way to submit the documents electronically. I hope this helps and wish you the best!
Thank you for sharing your story! But....What does “going out on disability” actually mean? You can’t just “get on disability” whenever you want. Trying to revive disability benefits is a verrrrrrry long, grueling, and discouraging process. Most people do not make it through to the point where they actually see disability benefits.
You're referring to Social Security Disability, and you're right, depression is not going to be an acceptable reason and there is a 12 month waiting period before benefits can start and it can take three years or more to get a final decision. This video is about disability offered through an employer. Not everyone will have this benefit.
@@colleendevaney Short term disability and long term disability. Pays your wages, or a percentage of wages, while you are out on medical leave. Short term is like if you had to get chemotherapy and could not work for a while. Long term is like you got paralyzed and could never return. Some employers pay for that insurance or you can buy it yourself if they don't offer it. Of course you have to have it before you become disabled. Social Security disability is insurance everyone has if they work enough to qualify. Same principle but it's long term only.
Hi, are you referring to Social Security Disability or something else? I've always heard SSDI is a grueling process and most people get denied until they get to a hearing
I went on state disability (SDI), which is temporary, only lasting a year. Social security disability (SSDI) is federal, and is what you would need to get on if your doctor thinks you’ll be unable to work for more than one year. All you need for SDI is your doctor to agree that you’re unable to work due to your current condition. Unfortunately, ADHD isn’t recognized as a condition that warrants disability, however, depression or anxiety most definitely do.
Journey to Wellness Can I ask which state you’re in? I’m wondering if every state offers this same one year SDI option to folks who are suffering. 🤔 THANKS!!!
Journey to Wellness I’m in Maryland. It’s pretty tough in this state. My bf struggles so much with the same things you do, but he is still reluctant to ask for help. He is stuck. I’m hoping that your story will inspire him.
Hi i am currently going through the exact same thing! I would love to talk to you i have a few questions. Can i email you? Im not sure how to go about this and i have no one to explain it to me
What Joke, I was denied SSD, They said my medical condition was non life threatening Aneurysm open heart surgery, Kidney cancer tumor type two diabetes, 🙄 , Then a kid who is 19 doesn't want to work anymore healthy , Gets it And the real sick people in wheelchairs and have cancer get denied. The social security system , Needs a major overhaul. I paid into it my whole working life, Im sick and live in a broken down car 🚗,
That’s awful! I’m really sorry to hear about that. I’m not sure how many times you have applied, but my understanding is, no matter how bad your condition is, they hardly ever approve anyone on the first application. I would continue applying multiple times until you get it.

Hi i am currently going through the exact same thing! I would love to talk to you i have a few questions. Can i email you? Im not sure how to go about this and i have no one to explain it to me
How did you get disability while you still had a job?

How much do you get paid per month?
What Joke, I was denied SSD, They said my medical condition was non life threatening Aneurysm open heart surgery, Kidney cancer tumor type two diabetes, 🙄 , Then a kid who is 19 doesn't want to work anymore healthy , Gets it And the real sick people in wheelchairs and have cancer get denied. The social security system , Needs a major overhaul. I paid into it my whole working life, Im sick and live in a broken down car 🚗,
That’s awful! I’m really sorry to hear about that.
I’m not sure how many times you have applied, but my understanding is, no matter how bad your condition is, they hardly ever approve anyone on the first application. I would continue applying multiple times until you get it.
