I do but it’s been a struggle. i am self employed and that works the best for me. I basically work when i feel good.
I never really felt like i should be on disability. i remember when i first got on. we had gone out to eat and i had a BIL say sarcastically that they had to pay for me. I had been hallucinating for over a year consistently, hadn’t worked or paid bills, had thousands of debt. I also got criticism for living with my mom and not paying rent even though i couldn’t afford too. also i felt like i had no control over my life. Because i had debt. All my money went to debt. my family basically could tell me what to do and i have no control over any decision.
SSDI is very rule based. I didn’t learn enough about it. DONT GO TO DISABILITY101 if you are on SSDI>
DON"T GO TO THIS WEBSITE db101(dot) org they try to act like they are for you but their ulterior motive is to get people off disability. i wouldn’t be surprised if it’s run by a conservative type organization.
SSDI although i resisted it i needed it and it’s helped me a lot.
My SSDI just ended. I am waiting on my final letter I went back to work full time this year.
Thank you for the heads up! I hope all is well with you and disability. In my experience I get to stressed out to work because of symptoms that bother me and make me unable to work.
That’s impressive. I hope it works out for you!
i can do self employment because i can work when i want. I thought of getting a part time job but i hate having to call in sick or deal with that stuff and answer questions. I also might have problems working with others and paranoia. so I much prefer self employment. so i understand you forlorn.
Thank you man, yeah I completely sympathize and empathize with you. Adulting is hard for us with this disease, but we got to keep being strong. Hope you find what you are looking for!
I’m about to start working at Goodwill or somewhere similar via vocational rehab. I’m kinda scared, but I feel good at the same time.
I had a pickup truck and I used to go every week to government GSA (General Services Administration) furniture auctions. They were fixed price and bookshelves were all identical and 20 dollars, I took them home and shined them up and sold them on Craigslist for 200 dollars apiece.
I also collected pieces of what are called Barrister Bookshelves. They are made of interchangeable, stackable shelves with glass doors on each one. They have a base, a top, and as many shelves as you stack in between. Got a good profit on those as well, even had one I used personally assembled from good parts over a year for about 100 dollars, sold it for 900 when I needed the money and didn’t have the means to take it with me when I moved.
I crashed my truck during onset and the auctions have since been permanently ended. I’m not sure what the reason for ending the auctions was, I never asked. I was on disability before onset though, for my Bipolar, so I was working on disability. I could handle the same job again today if I had a truck and knew of another great place to buy furniture, I’ve recovered a lot and can drive alright again.
and oh yeah I’m on SSI
That sounds cool.
You can do it falcon. Good luck!
