I would be on the streets without SSDI but it is so difficult telling people that I am on SSDI. I know alot of you say it is no one's business but it is not easy telling 10 brother in laws/sister inl aws all the time I am still off work. I hope to try and work fairly soon. I see my psychologist and psychairist and both of them tell me the best way to get over some mental issues is work. But on the other hand I hate to give up my SSDI for a minimum wage job. My monthly benefits are without going into detail very good. Basically what I am saying is I know what you are going thru. I hear some type of comment from someone everytime I see someone I know.
