Hi alisza,

 

You might want to join a clubhouse or do volunteer work during the day.

 

As for SSI, appeal and ask for a re-hearing.  Get an attorney if you need someone to argue your case.  It is true, they deny everyone on the first try.  It wasn't like that in the 1980s when I got SSI, and now it is.

 

Keep up a positive spirit.

 

Regards,

Christina

I'm sorry the SSI fell through.  It is difficult enough to have sz, then compounded by having no money.   I went through a period like that where money was really tight.  Have you applied for SSDI as well as SSI?  I am not sure but your doctor may have to say you can't work for at least a year before you can get approved.  I was approved for SSDI 4 months after I applied, fortunately.  And I am getting a disability pension from a job I had years ago.  Now, the money is there, enough for me to live independently.  And that is what I am attempting to do now.

 

Best wishes,

Why don't you go volenteer at shelter, nursing home, it's not work but it gives you something to do besides stay in the house.  what do you like to do?  It will also give you a sence helping others...it always helps so you don't think about your problems for a while.  As for ssi, they can deny you up to 3 times and the process generally takes 2 years before you start receiving funds.( governments way of saying..if your really sick then you have to wait...if you don't wait then I guess your not really sick...) I hate that.

By the way...read another post of yours...the bath/it's your time one.....take showers from now on...Wink   Stay possitive...
