So i got missed calls from two different places of employment that are looking for new workers and they have my resume yesterday. Im too anxious to call them back. Also, the idea of working in those kinds of workplaces sounds like a nightmare to me. But i need more money so badly. Its a tough position. And my mental health team beleive im too high functioning to apply for disability payments. Im like in between being disabled and being well enough to work properly. So i end up doing neither. Anyway thats what ive been stressing about the last couple days.
On another note, i am starting to think i might have undiagnosed adult ASD, After looking at another post on here.
Basically i feel like a bit of a mess at the moment. Not sure what to do…
Hold on!
Change is stressful but you will get through this and things will settle down again,
Don’t let that team tell you what to do.
If you don’t feel like you can work,
You should apply for disability.
I got sick in 2008 but I didn’t think I was sick and kept working. I was sick as hell. I know that now.
Anyway in 2014 I finally applied for SSDI and got it easily. Less than 90 days, no lawyer, didn’t see a doctor or anything. And my reviews are every seven years.
Went back to work and went off it and got fired nearly three years later and again. Approved. No questions asked. No doctor visit. No nothing. And my reviews are still at every 7 years.
Doesn’t hurt to apply. You never know.
Yeah thanks. Im pretty down today to be honest.
I was under the impression that i needed my pdoc to approve me for applying for disability in australia. Not sure. Tehy definitely made it sound that way anyway. Its hard not to let a mh team dictate things about me since i rely on them a fair bit. I dunno.
Wow okay. Where are you from? Im not sure that i can just apply for disability without input from anyone else? Not sure. Im in australia. But the government definitely knows i have sza and all that permanently.
I am in the USA. The VA told me I couldn’t work or go to school and I proved them wrong and did both.
In the USA for SSDI you just apply on line.
Thats good you did it despite what you were told.
For me though, im the opposite. I get told im too high functioning to not work and study. Whereas i feel completely overwhelmed and hardly capable of it.
