My career was just taking off, I was the Marketing Dir at a casino. The pay was great, and it was very hard to say "I give".

Why would anyone take disability over a good paying job? I dont know, maybe cause WE HURT!!! I think the mind game we have to live with is sometimes more horrific than the actual pain.

For me it was twice as bad cause a doctor made a mistake on me, and I couldnt sue!! So now im all messed up with zero income, and feel terrible because I feel like im dragging my family down the poverty highway with me.

Luckly they all support me, but I still feel bad. Social security for me will give me a little dignity back, at least I wont be a total leech.

So dont let people get to ya, remember they all would do the very same thing if in your shoes. :icon_wink:
