I’m scared to death of what’s going to happen to me. My disability is being reviewed and I haven’t been hospitalized in 7 years, so I’m afraid I’ll lose my social security. I keep trying to think of how I could handle any kind of job on top of raising my kids and I just don’t see how I can handle it with my mental health. Any thoughts, advice, experience response would be appreciated.
Play the anxiety/ depression card if you have to. Insist you are not mentally fit to return to work.

I have trouble with anxiety and depression in reality anyway. I appreciate your thoughts. I haven’t felt this numb and afraid in a long time.
hugs.
I got reviewed beginning of this year and got reapproved for seven years.
I was hospitalized in january though
My biggest fear is being forced to work to provide for my family and ending up needing to be hospitalized again. My kids were too young to remember the last time, it would scare the heck out of them if I got that sick again. And every time I have ended up needing to be hospitalized it’s been worse than the time before. I would be devastated if it came to that

if you get rejected you can appeal! and during the appeal you get your payments.
So if it comes to that you can basically tell a lawyer that, but hopefully you’ll get approved
<3 wishing you the best

Hey, I just want you to know that you should have no fear! seriously! I had my disability review at the beginning of this year. I haven’t been hospitalized in 8 years! My review was back in January. Your medical history will be proof you’re still disabled. If your paperwork has space on the back page for additional comments, mention all the side effects and struggles your disability presents to you on a day to day basis. I did that with my review. That was 5 or 6 months ago now. I’m still receiving full benefits. You got this!

You really are helping me a lot @falcon09 and @Solidus. I’m near tears in a good way. It’s so easy to despair and get numb with fear over this, your encouragement means a great deal to me

I haven’t been hospitalized since 2008. Got a review in 2017, dr said med resistant danger to self and others. Got a notice saying no more reviews. So I just had my at time doc fill it out, no records needed. She showed me what she wrote and her signature, she sealed envelope at my spot and that was it.

You might find out about the availability of a public defender who does pro bono work. I’m not saying you need it, but it can’t hurt to keep it in mind.

don’t let the review scare you !! you are schizophrenic and as long as you haven’t worked you definitely have nothing to worry about…be honest on the review and don’t fret !!

Got a 3 year review said I could possibly improve. BS! I blame my mom for saying I improved a lot on Vraylar. I did, but she has no common sense. Funny because I give her money for food and rent and she knows I am disabled. Can’t trust her with basic things.

Parents never want to believe that their childrens have sz. My parents still don’t believe that I have schizophrenia, they say I caused it by having a bad attitude and by taking supplements which is bs.
I hate it, they do it bcz they don’t want to take care of us forever.
