State Benefits Approved

[BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

Contiued from my comment below, If I get better and can go back to work I would lose SSI and Section 8 Rental Assistance which took two years to get on, Food EBT card and Medicaid which adds up to around $2000 a month so I'd need a Job paying 2000 just to cover the assistance I'd lose working thats not counting the cost of my 3 kids and us a month.

[BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

You know whats hard is getting SSI and supporting myself, 3 kids and a wife that can work but wont. We get Section 8 housing Assistance, Food EBT card and Medicaid and barely make it every month if I could work I would HAVE to make Around 2200 a month. Thats my bills if I worked without getting the assistance

[lovecritters]

2 :nikamirovak:go to the disabilty sites from lawyers. Get a lawyer. Save all medical documentation. Make copies. Once u get a lawyer; keep lawyer updated on any and all changes no matter how trivial 2 you.

[nikamirovak]

congratulations on getting approved for disability. i know it can be so hard to make a strong case for depression/anxiety. my wife and i are thinking of trying to get her benefits for her severe depression and social anxiety. i was wondering if you had any tips for making the case strong enough. thanks so much.

[candygurl524]

i understand EXACTLY what you are going through because i am going through the same with the depression and anxiety and i think i am also suffering from social anxiety but need to get evaluated because im not the social type and i think its what keeps me from working.i hope you find a good therapist because i know its hard i had shitty ones myself

[BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

I hear ya candygurl524 It took me 2 years of fighting to get just on SSI. I've been disabled since 18 and I'm 27 now and my Bibolar and Social Anxiety is getting worse not better and Social Security already last year to up and stop my check I fought and Won thank god but its no walk in the park getting on disability and staying on it

[emilyXplicit]

people really need to stop bitching. The reason she's on a temporary benifit is becuase she is planning to work in the furute. I'm only 16, and it's not so much of a big deal, but I was taken out of school 2 years early becuase of depression and anger problems. It's actually very difficult to focus when you have these issues.

[BLUExEYEDxSLICKT]

emilyXplicit you my friend at 16 nailed it to a tee and many 40 year old haters of disabled people are stupid and run there mouth about problems they dont understand and here you are at 16 with a brain of gold understanding lol. Yeah I cant hold jobs with my Major Anxiety problem cause I cant FOCUSE on the Job. I'm in Panic mode around crowds

[Aslanspal]

You are not alone, since 2000 I have been fighting depression and anger I have only worked 5 years out of 10 my last job ...I just walked off the job...I need to start the SSD process but I get depressed just thinking about it...plus my right eye is going blind...it does look like I got a part time job at a retail store but I am already thinking of scenarios of how I get angry and quit that job.

[PeaceLoveEternity]

Try living in complete terror due to depersonalization disorder. How about you research that. I live everyday in a dream state and can barely function and I get dissaproved! I have all your problems plus dissociation.  You are a slave! YouTube NEW WORLD ORDER

[xsullengirlx]

You should appeal if you didn't get approved, that's not right.

[badfastbusa]

best of luck with your problems... i have and still suffer from horrible anxiety myself and my chest constantly bothers me, especially if i am somewhere where there is lots of people or in akward situations like job interviews etc so i partly know what you are going through. I am very happy for you that you got approved by ssi... I am to damn scared to go apply for it due to not knowing if it is the right thing to do.

Feel free to private message me anytime.

Take care and best wishes.

James

[stonecoldjason]

I do not like people get ssi for being sorry or comming over the boarder illgeally and getting it with no problem, However, if a person has a problem they should go threw all this trouble to get it.

Like social security disability that is not a hand out. Peole has worked and paid into the system like me who worked 30 years last 25 at one location now got parkinson,back problems, depression, speech impairment, obessed going to have to fight for what is rightfull mine

[stealnem]

i feel alot of what your talking about...life is weird or i mean people are weird..ahh im weird i think, i dont know, cool vid. you are very open about who you are..more people sholuld be like that, maybe, i dont know lols, laters..

[huless]

you are cute i got denied 3 times adhd, anxity disorder, anxiety attacks, bipolar still got denied

[derron70]

i won as well. so when someone such as cosmocat wants to step up and start labeling people. and saying who deserves it and who dont royally pisses me off. and the last thing he needed to do was compare himself to others....i could give two shits. im glad you won and also your welcome. and you stood up and rode this thing to the end so excuse me but that makes you a hero! and an example for other people not to give up on this. its a hard long road. but you all owe it to yourselves! ~D~

[derron70]

cosmocat? where the fuck do you get off comparing yourself to her? youve got one leg? constant pain? and deaf? you forgot to mention in there somewhere that your an asshole! i get ssi and disabilty both.but you??? why aint you on it? youve got so many fucking problems......but yet you aint. maybe you just fucked your opportunity off. heres the fact! 1. she applied 2. she won. so! take your prosthetic leg . and ram it up your ass. but in the meantime shut the fuck up!

[xsullengirlx]

Derron70 - You are my hero. Well said!

[rego2483]

good luck...can i ask u how long the whole process took??

[dboyz0123]

Okay xsullengirl, see my comment to cosmo to see why ur prob getting some bad reviews. Secondly, yes ssi can be stressful. In fact, in can induce symptoms worse. My buddy quit for ssi cause it caused him more than he could bare. Its sad because I deal with it, studied it, and seen it. My first course in OT talked about ppl and disability. Cosmo if what you said was true, than I feel bad 4 ur problems. I think getting disability is more on demographics if u get it. Neway feel better xsullen!

[cosmotcat]

You can get disability for 'social anxiety and depression'? What the fuck? Depression? 'Social Anxiety'? Huh? Don't we all suffer from that?

I have ONE fucking leg, the other doesn't work that well due to LIFELONG 'encondromatosis'. I am now completely DEAF on one side after the effects and surgery of a brain tumor (acoustic neuroma) ... am in constant pain ...yadda yadda yadda

Where the FUCK is MY 'disability'?

Depression? Try living my life.

CHRIST, DEAL WITH IT!

Also, you look kind of hot.

[xsullengirlx]

Your life and my life are not even comparable. You cannot compare a physical and mental disability in terms of what's worse, it's absolutely silly to try. NO, not everyone suffers from social anxiety disorder and major depression amongst other things, my symptoms are debilitating, it's not your place to judge if I am able to receive assistance. If you want benefits so much then why don't you apply for them instead of bitching to me about how hard your life is?

[mysticalwings66]

i have bipolar and im not on disibility and im doing great so why do u need disibility when my husband is disabile? im going to college and everything and taking meds. whats your excuse? my husband has a hole in his heart and a plastic piece in his chest .. so dont be sitting there all queen of the mountain... because according to you since you are disablie than that makes me just because im bipolar....

[xsullengirlx]

I am not bipolar. If you think you have problems, seek help for them. I have problems, I sought help for them. GET OVER IT. If your husband has health problems and is disabled, get off your ass and stop trolling YouTube trying to get sympathy and take your rage our on strangers and get him some help! What a great wife you must be.

[dboyz0123]

Eminem helps to deal with disability. The song, " I am "had skull fracure, 3 concussions, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and abdominal surgery, and got denied. Had 4 docs on my behalf. I use to go 2 school, play sports, ect,ect.....See thats why I think xsullengirl ur gettin ppl respond badly. I studied Occupational therapy. Had a bud who had major surgery and also has OCD,anxiety, and got denied. Ppl with breast cancer get it slower than ppl who have Adhd.

[stonecoldjason]

Try going out on disabliity over your grammer. you could probably get it in no time with your sentance structure and spelling

[PeopleRiseUp]

This is the 1st vid I have watched of yours. TY for posting it. Did you have to go to an appeal hearing in order to get approved? Or were you approved without appeal?

[charlieclown]

stipulation of disability was that you see their therapist weekly? What if you don't want to, or how long do you have to see one.

and if the therapist says your better do you lose your social secuirty?

[xsullengirlx]

If you don't want to, it doesn't matter. You have no say. It lasts the duration of your disability, at least in my case. The therapist doesn't give any reports to the disability department, you go in for psychological exams ever 6 months to 1 year, and that's different than your normal psychologist. :)

[Techcrometer]

I know the feeling, I have anxiety which also effects my Polycythemia, and I also have Hemochromatosis, asthma, high blood pressure, and osteoarthritis. I have been out of work for 2 years, and did not want to come to terms and say I am disabled. My wife help me come to terms with it and I will probably be filing soon, I didn't do it sooner because I thought I was giving up. The funny thing is, I am only 25 years old. My dad is almost 60 and I am in worse shape than him, but thanks for the vid

[paulp1021]

The whole system is designed to where they indirectly discourage you from trying to attain disability benefits. The denials and the appeals process takes at least three years. Trying to prepare for a disability case in terms of attaining anecdotal evidence and documentations to support your case can generate a lot of anxieties that of in itself. Seeking legal representation. Etc. It's such a hassle.

[HerodotusInLove]

Once you are on Dis. your life is over. You are not allowed to marry for one or you will lose health care. You will not be allowed to work. SSDI, is a more lenient than SSI, but why risk? It takes a long while to get back on. You have to liquidate assets, refuse inheritance. You may think it is a good thing but it will horribly change you.

I don't mean any disrespect to you , but being diabled in USA means you must capitulate everything jsut for health care.

[xsullengirlx]

I am not on social security disability. I am on State disability, which is much different. Although, the point of being on disability is that you cannot work or function in those ways that you wouldn't be "allowed" to, as you said. I haven't done a whole lot of research on SSDI or SSI, so I can't speak on those. I advise anyone applying for any benefits on any level do their research though! Thanks for the comment.

[gncc1]

lucky you

[jaymeez]

hope everything works out for you......

[seepauliedie]

i dont understand how you can do these videos if you have social anxiety. I have social phobia and there is no fucking way that i can do it. but anyway, i just got a letter from SS saying i need to go to one of their doctors for testing, how long did it take for you after that? i already had the psych eval. thank you.

[xsullengirlx]

First off, I am alone when I make the videos and I don't have to see anyone face to face or even leave my house to do them, so it doesn't bother me. But I could never chat "live" on webcam. Secondly, did they give you a date to go see their doctor? If so, it should take about 2 weeks AFTER you go to the appointment. Good luck!

[seepauliedie]

i just went to the appt. today. i thought they were going to do testing and stuff, all they did was ask questions for like a half hour. stupid stuff like, "why are you here" and "what was your diagnosis". I dont understand how they can use that to decide if im disabled, ive already sent them everything from my other doctors. and thank you i will need all the luck i can get.

[purplemutantas]

You might look into DVR (department of vocational rehabilitation), they will pay for therapy. Although, the waiting list for DVR in WA state is HUGE. And you need to find a therapist who takes DVR, or your medical coupons. I have navigated the WA state disability BS, so feel free to message me.

[xsullengirlx]

Thank you for the advice, I have never even heard of that after all the crap the system has put me through. Waiting list or no, it's better than doing nothing at all. I may message you if I have questions about it, when I get a spare moment. Thanks again :) I appreciate knowing someone else has been through this.

[Toms1978dec]

I know this has nothing to do with what you are saying, but you are really a pretty gal.

[xsullengirlx]

haha, sorry about that comment left by some troll. Thank you for the compliment, I really appreciate it. (even if my face is "all crooked" as they said, lol). Take care.

[khrystal1968]

Anxiety and panic attacks are NO JOKE! They are NOT fun at all it is horrible.

[csabicsekkerqazwsx]

Thats nothing, they stop existent disability checks that not based on some ability of you but you have got some money about your mom

life insurance years ago even if you spent that money then.

Is that legal, to stop disability payment, if they have such a mood in their office?

[stonecoldjason]

Glad you are getting it now. still trying. got degenerated bone diease and back problems

people are looking at you thanking that you are getting a hand out.

but I'm 45 worked 2 jobs most of my adult like

this diease was inheirted so it was nothing my fault

also, if you have any assets put them in a non irrovable trust not in some family name to protect your assests

[kitsune450]

'i'm 20 yrs old i got blounts disease which is a leg deformation that bowe's the leg outward and the leg is shorter then my good one and i have osteoarthritis in the knee im having back and leg problems due to the fact of my weight, which is actually considered a disability and have been denied twice i have been approved to see a judge good thing is i do have a representative and there is a high percentage that the judge will fully approve or partially approve SSI or SSD so yeah

[cakes37]

HAHAHA OH LOL ...hey my moms legs got fucked up by a doctor and as a result has been in constant excruciating pain for 8 years...and has been denied 3 times...but it makes me happy and im sure it brings her justice that an emo bitch gets some but not her..fuck off and die...kill yourself

[stonecoldjason]

I know who you are and I know your mother going to be calling her and telling her about your commets here

[cakes37]

LOL WHAT>>YOU GOT TO BE FUCKING KINDING ME...my mom is in constant pain because the doctor that was doing her easy surgery sewn up her nerve endings..so she is in constant pain 24 hours a day for 8 years..shes fallin down many staircases as a result..and no doctor will admit that the doctor messed up...she has been denied 4 times..but i think it brings her justice that an emo chick gets some..fuck off and die...(im kinda sorry but this is complete bullshit)

[xsullengirlx]

I'm not on permanant social security disability, I am just on temporary disability in washington state getting only 300 a month, it's totally different than what your mom would need, and my disability payments are so I can go to therapy and job rehabilitation while recovering. Your mom probably applied for SSI which can take years. I wish her the best of luck, but our problems are different. Make sure she keeps appealing it. Please don't say such hateful things to people in the future.

[baker4190]

i go through the same thing you tell people but its like they dont understand.

[ilovepaisley2007]

Well i am glad you got approved. I got turn down 3 times and i am still trying.... i had to get my toes cut off and i am BIOPLAR... So what am i doing wrong... I HAVE ALOT MORE PROBLEMS..SO WHO WAS YOUR LAWYER?

[xsullengirlx]

I think to say "I have more problems than you" is relative, in the long run every problem is different and unique to the person suffering, it doesn't mean one person deserves it over another. WA state is different about disability than other states, I did not use a lawyer. Good luck to you.

[purplemutantas]

I live in WA state. It was a pain in the butt to get on GAU. Once I was on GAU and the DSHS made apply for SSI, I got on SSI rather quickly. Right now I am having issues getting on SSDI. But I have a lawyer familiar with my disability (Autism). So I think will eventually get it.

[ladydgantt]

I GOT IT!!....

[OAXM202]

I'm close to death and they denied me, oh well, death here I come.

[xsullengirlx]

:( Please re-apply. Many people get denied the first time. Find a good SS attorney in your area, they don't charge anything until you are approved and get your first check from the government. Don't give up hope, okay? Good luck.

[kylecroweattorney]

Glad you got approved. I have clients with severe cancer that is eating them daily, and they have been turned down twice. Your lucky, some of my clients won't live to see their first check if ever approved. Congrats.

[BIKabballa]

Hey, good for you! I was on SSDI in the 90's, but stopped receiving it because I went back to work. Now I have no work, and my disability is worse than before as I have no health insurance. Any advice. Thanks.

[applesalamanderpie]

Also, I think you can make $700-900. a month on the side to pay the rest of your bills. Look on the soc. sec. website under the section "working while disabled". After several months you will qualify for Medicare. Insurance. Try also to apply for your state medical card. Dont let ignorant people make you feel bad about yourself.

[applesalamanderpie]

I receive disability for a similar diagnosis. Dont feel bad about yourself. I think you look like you are gonna do fine & I have also applied for my bipolar son & hope he gets approved. To people who think this is fun & free money--ask yourself, would you like to feel miserable & alone all the time? Mental illness is not a joke or a prize.

[extremelibrary]

My son's grandmother is bipolar and it took her 3 years to get it. I have Asperger's.

[HippoKissez]

I felt the same way that I was going to get turned down..I got approved first try..I felt some relief but I still don't have it together but its nice to know I have SOME money

I know the bullshit people will do to you when you say your disabled and you can still walk and talk...I've had a lotta cruel comments such as I'm a lazy slut drunk...which I'm none of those I'm just a severe bipolar case with a huge background and seeing things and such. I wish you the best~!

[ladydgantt]

I had my exam yesterday and think

it went well, I must say you were right

that was so exhausting. I was drained

when I left there, but how long after did

You know your results?

[xsullengirlx]

I am glad you think it went well, I am sure it did. But yeah, they aren't pleasant! It took about 2 weeks to get my results. :) Good luck!

[ladydgantt]

thank you so much your video answered

slot of my questions but now I'm worried

about someone picking me apart. I don't

want to look like a crazy person but again

thanks a bunch

[ladydgantt]

btw I have lupus which is causing slot of

my issues

[ladydgantt]

what should I expect as far as questions and

things of that nature. I'm scared but I need

my disability and all the help I can get

[xsullengirlx]

I have a video called "Psychological Evaluation" (actually a few of them) that detail what questions they asked me. They ask you a range of things... from about your history, childhood, current problems, and things like your cognitive abilities... They ask you to remember sequences of numbers and pictures. It's almost like a therapy appointment AND an IQ test at the same time. You will be fine though, it sucks but it's worth it. Good luck!

[ladydgantt]

it is a phyc exam for depression and at a dr. Office

[ladydgantt]

I have been following your problems with

trying to get your disability and the exams.

I was hoping you could give me some

advice on this as I have a exam coming up

for deppreesion. Thank u

[xsullengirlx]

Do you know what kind of exam it is? Is it a regular psychological evaluation at a behavioral health or psychiatrist' office? Or is it something like an intake screening for a therapist or something like that? Also, what would you like to know? :)

[baniemi22]

I knew there were others like me, but after watching, I don't feel so alone. Nobody recognizes that I have a real problem either. They say that I am either lazy, "just don't want to work", or that I give up too easily. The truth is- I do want to be able to be a functioning role in society, but I am so socially anxious/depressed that I can't even drive (let alone have even one friend or work)even being in the passenger seat makes me feel like I might have a heart attack. I just feel lost.

[xsullengirlx]

We sound like two peas in a pod. I am sorry you have had to go through some of the same things I have... It's really not fair, and so much worse than people know.

Take care, and if you ever need a friend just message me.

[TrippyTongues]

You can get disability for social anxiety? I didn't know that. I have social phobia it sucks. I'm assuming you aren't agoraphobic since you were talking about parties and stuff in some other video... I knew that agoraphobic people could get disability. I hate it when people tell me to just get over it, or just do it. It's not that hard. They can't really understand how an irrational fear feels until they've experienced it. :( It sucks...

[xsullengirlx]

My social anxiety is worse at times than others, and at times I do have a real fear of going out of the house. It comes and goes. I also have a diagnosed personality disorder, along with depression and I struggle from Self Injury and EDNOS. The main focus of my disability though was the social anxiety and the depression. If you can't work for whatever reason, that's a disability and you can get approved. It's hard when no one understands, I am sorry you have gone through it. Take care.

[HarveyRex23]

My social anxiety disorder is similar to yours in that I have a difficult time driving on the freeway. I inhibit myself from taking buses and other forms of public transportation because of my paranoiac fear of people. It's tough, and when people tell you to "just get over it". And "suck it up". They don't know what the fuck they're talking about. I wish it were that easy to "get over it". And function in society like "normal" folks. Whatever the hell "normalcy" is viewed nowadays.

[HarveyRex23]

Social Anxiety disorder does impair someone to work. Especially when the work involves interacting with people. I have a difficult time interacting with people. I'm easily overwhelmed with large groups of people. And I get constant panic and anxiety attacks. And suffer from stage 1 hypertension as a result of my inability to deal with stress and social anxiety. I'm also easily agitated, argumentative, belligerent, paranoid, and very confrontational with co workers, supervisors, and customers

[SLICKT8000]

Anyways contiued again lol, I have acted stupid making people laugh around friends on here in Youtube land and it cheers me up a little but deep inside Laughter is the only thing that takes my Problems away short term. To many people me acting this way I'm not Disabled to them as they say lol. I've lost MANY friends due to drawing SSI. Its sad really. I hate it having to worry every month is my Check going to be messed up with there OVERPAYMENT here and there crap. Its hard surviving on SSI!

[SLICKT8000]

Contiued again from my comments below lol. Anyways I'm glad there is others on youtube like me. I'm sick of being Judged for drawing what I should draw and you guys to. They don't understand what we feel and what its like to Panic in Public like I do and stay home mostly. I have shut myself out from the world cause we get judged and everyone says I don't talk disabled I for sure don't look it, Well its not how we look. Sick of hearing that.

[SLICKT8000]

Continued from Below, They pay me only 637.00 a month and thats not ENOUGH never has been. I have 2 daughters and a Son on the way and just that amount is stupid. Never could Hold Jobs after my Teen years. I won my case a few months ago with them trying to stop my check saying I improved even though I tryed to work many time with my problems and been fired every time and the wifes family hates me cause I draw SSI. I'm scum to everyone around here cause I draw disability.

[SLICKT8000]

Girl I hear ya my marrage has been in the rocks since 2001. I started getting Axiety and panic attacks while atending Job Core where I met my wife now. I had Liver Cancer when I was born Survived that had gotten SSI years back and these symtoms pop up later on and they said I had Bibolar and wanted me taking many Meds lol. NEVER WORK! Anyways I draw SSI since 2001 moved to Montana then as well from Arizona and had to fight them for 2 years trying to stop my check like they do people.

[chris4obama]

The SSA is clearing out backlog by approving pretty much everything at the initial stage. You applied at a good time. The reason your benefit is low is due to your young age, and therefore, short work history. Try to read into Buddhism. Might give you some perspective. Life is filled with suffering. Making peace with that is our only option. All happiness is temporary. Don't let yourself fall into a hole. Live your life and transcend your send of self.

[Minstrey]

don't drink those pills, change an environment entirely, mooove away, find new friends, that's will work, you'll be created second time. You got only one life girl.. :) Good luck :)

[chrissys31]

Yes and when your on medicaid from the state the therapist they send ya to or ones that are covered arent hardly qualified for what you have going on. Or they tell you to do stuff that doesnt make sense like you said with rubberbands!

[chrissys31]

Hi again I have a question for you...have you ever been on any meds or are you for your social anxiety or panic attacks? I just started some meds the past 2 months which is Effexor XR and it has started helped me with my mind racing and my worrying all that time. It hasnt helped with the social anxiety though and I wanted something like Klonipin and they wont give it to me so..let me know what has worked for you? TY

[countingdown27]

How do you get videos on that are over 10 minutes? I thought the limit is 10.... ?

[xsullengirlx]

I have a director's account and therefore I have no time limit. However, they do not offer director's accounts anymore... I know, it sucks.

[jenjdickinson]

Happy Thanksgiving Christie! Been thinking of you and I'm here for you with love and friendship.

Proud of you girl.

Having issues leaving a special song link here for you but type in Peter Gabriel Don't Give Up - this song speaks to my heart and also check out my channel soon for a very special video.

[xsullengirlx]

Thanks so much for the comment, Jen. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving too. I will definitely google the song (stupid youtube doesn't allow links in comments). I'll send you a personal email soon, I just got back into town. Take care, and i'll keep an eye out for your video. Love you girl.

[jenjdickinson]

Welcome back Christie! I hope your holiday was great. If you plug into YouTube - Peter Gabriel Don't Give Up you'll find the video and song with my special message to you. It should be the first one. In the meantime, please take care of yourself - that is most important. Then everything else falls into place. Love and hugs,Jen

[FreakChip]

You sort of inspire me. Not gonna lie.

[xsullengirlx]

...thank you

[baileygirl94]

I love you Christie

[leighannenoelle]

I'm from Canada and I can't even imagine what I'd do if I had to pay for health care. I'm so glad that you've gotten on disability to help you with those costs. I too am on disability and it's helped me with getting the therapy that I've needed for so long. I hope your therapist is alright. I know I went through several therapists before I found one that really understood me. Oh and I love when your videos are 20 minutes!

[sagwald]

post more videos! (anxiously waiting:D )

[ncnikonguy]

congrats, it's a shame people don't understand what we endure on a day by day basis, peoplem need to know we can help how we feel and we cannoy just turn off our problems...I'm so happy for you and getting disability, I'll be going down that road in the new year

[Starlababy]

Hope you feel better. My 21 yr. old son has anxiety. He is on disability, and colasipam, to help. It's a hard life. Do what you can.

[kellogs85]

I'm proud of you Christie! Hang in there!

[xsullengirlx]

Thank you :) I will!

[lubanater]

how long did it take you to get approvrd?

[xsullengirlx]

about two months.

[Deboka]

you are lucky, i work in disability services...for some people, it can take 6 months to a year to be approved! folks get denial after denial and then finally they are approved! the system sucks.

but anyways, congrats! hope your anxiety, etc. eases up!

[xsullengirlx]

i have heard that it can take that long to get approved, and i was prepared for it to take that long... i was very shocked it happened as fast as it did. maybe that's one good thing about my state so far? Thanks for the comment and support. xo

[Heather6661988]

I really know how you feel with the anxity and depression its hard and isent simple at all. iv been trying for years to get over it and been through many jobs were managers were just pretty much like whats your problem ppl just dont always understand.

[jasoncool21aus]

hey i think u are a very brave girl,and i like your u-tube videos they are very inspiring.i think your a very cool and real with everything u say.please keep us updated with your videos.xxoo

[cubangi4l]

HEY! i'm scared to sleep too! Your not alone!

I used to see a therapist weekly. I tried the butterfly thing corina said...it doesn't work. It washes off. The rubber band, doesn't work. I FEEL YOU about coping mechanisms! thanks for posting a new video:) I was beginning to worry.

[Suzanne42]

Congratulations. It's heartwarming to feel validated. I know this firsthand. Congrats.

[JuciShockwave]

Excellent to hear that you got your disability, now you'll get the help you'll need to recover. Little steps are better than no steps. I wish you the best on getting better and to live long and strong. I can't say I know how you feel or anything like that, but I do know people who suffer harshly with depression and anxiety. It's not fun. I do suffer from ADD at times. There are times I can control myself and pay attention, but others it's bad. Anyways, keep on the good fight.

what a relief! It took me 2 years to get approved. Although I am still not 100% well having SSDI will help you & give you the space to focus on getting well. It has taken me almost 10 years to even BEGIN to feel healthier. And trust me they just give disability to ANYONE...if your sick thats the ONLY way to get it. Being validated helps you realize damn I am sick...now I can focus 100% on me...it is sad being disabled but it is part of YOUR story & your story is GLORIOUS !!

I glad you go approved too! I suffer from social anxiety too so I know what you are going through. Now that you are approved for disability there are programs with cell phone, home phone and internet companies for people on disability. I had to cut my expenses by $600.00 a month to be able to live on disability. I was able to do it you can too. Good luck.

I'm glad you got on disability, I hope that takes a load off your shoulders! You are totally NOT a failure. You are such a success for going through all this and trying to work and trying to get on disability when you could have at any time just given up and sat around. I think you're amazing! And you will recover I'm totally positive about that! Oh and I TOTALLY forgot about your jewelry site...I'm going RIGHT now to buy the stuff I wanted!! =D

I know excally how you feel. I wish i could be on disability too. Im 21 overweight, and i have many problems with social anxiety. Among other things. I see myself in you.

If you want a anxiety meds they will put you on a depressant. IM on celexa for depressant and axiety, it does not work. Now im hooked to the pill, and can't get off, cause the witdraw is bad.

Best wishes.

I'm very happy for you, that you got approved! I understand how it feels to me accused of lazy and other such things. Too often than not people can't understand unless they've been in our shoes.

Hello!

I'm so glad you got on disability. I'm really familiar with the process and such.

If you don't like this therapist, you can change it. You just look for one that accepts your insurance. The disability people don't mind, just as long as you are getting help.

I know what evaluations are like,they are really hard. But good on you for sticking with it. I hope your life will start getting easier now. xxx
