I had a child on disability and once you can work, regardless if you still have the disability you no longer qualify for SSI. It is fraud what she is doing; this kind of stuff should be stopped. We all should play by the rules.

I'm glad for you you had your gov't job. As you are probably aware, there is a lot of talk about the over inflated pensions & the tax payers resentment over this. I'm sure if you were a non gov't worker you would feel differently too.

Mental illness is a disability. For you to completely act like I'm supposed to suddenly be sane while dealing with some people who don't listen is odd. How can I do that? Do you think suddenly mental illness goes away? I know what has happened, and you totally missed my original post which was about two therapist, NOT DOCTORS, who wanted to pretend they are doctors. I'm sorry you didn't understand what the REAL subject was. Hopefully for others who may go through this problem, my suggestion would be to make sure you are dealing with REAL DOCTORS to determine what your true illnesses are, not focusing on making notes that amount to nothing other than you're dressed nice. Dressing nice or looking good doesn't make someone not have mental problems.

I have a good friend who calls me & his sister and tells us we will never get our social security, but then tells us how he got his disability. He doesn't even know I've applied for mine, nor does his sister. He just tells us that about our regular social security. The other day I said to him, but then that may mean yours could end. I said it nicely & there was no argument, I dearly love him. I was just trying to point out that many people simply don't understand & many do really mean well. Perhaps you did, and I appreciate again what you told me about what I will get at 62. I could be wrong & I stand corrected if I am. I will check tomorrow. Sorry you didn't understand, I usually don't post on these boards because I notice most want to say negative things instead of focusing on what the real subject was. I posted to try to help others who may be in my unfortunate circumstance, If it helped even one person than it was worth it.
I feel for you, I know how hard things are, there is so much red tape, having to document everything. Plus, just because someone is a therapist, doesn't mean they have high morals or values. Or that they may even be jealous that you own a house. I think the government is making it very hard for people to collect disability because it saves them lots of money. You could mention to a doctor that sometimes you hear voices. My daughter's friend, let's call her Jane, was asked by the hospital if she heard voices. She said to the person doing the intake "You're just jealous you can't hear them." They locked her up for observation for the entire weekend. Just keep plugging away and get the right documentation. Your right you need a doctor not a therapist to diagnosis you. Food for thought, I came across these boards cause I figured out I have celiac disease. It has wrecked havoc with my life, horrible depression, cancer, seizures and now I can't have milk! So I went to a gastroenterologist, and wanted to be tested for the disease before I stopped eating wheat,and gluten. He wouldn't test me, instead prescribed medicine to mask my stomach issues.
Seems the heartburn I was getting can cause cancer, but hey I stopped eating wheat and the heartburn went away...but it was causing all kinds of mental distress. I went to a Tibetan doctor and I feel better. I would love to be working but this has been hell, eating myself sick. I think that a lot of mental illness is from reactions to things we eat. Plus, thyroid disease, sleep apnea and the stress being sick has on a person.
Good Luck
