If your disability is not necessarily physical -- ie; if your mental/cognitive issues prevent you from holding down a decent job, can you get disability? I am making too many mistakes at work -- losing things, forgeting to do things, forgetting procedures, etc. Plus, the negativity towards me in my small office (4) because of these issues, is beginning to affect my performance. And even tho I don't really care that I work very closely w/ 3 women who dislike me, who insult me and often ridicule me, who creat theatrics over ever petty thing, it does affect my emotional state, (increases depression and anxiety, too) which is then reflected in my ability to concentrate.
I often want to walk out and check into some kind of rehab, but I can't. I have no other means of support. So disability would not begin to support me either, but maybe some day I could move in w/ my parents and help care for them at the same time. Just maybe.
I'm kinda stuck w/ myself and often feel like running away. Til I realize that this would really be more difficult than trying to hold down my job.....
