Applying for Disability: Mourning the Life I Expected

@faexay but don't lose hope. Keep fighting and wear them down lol

@faexay it's extremely hard to get disability. They've made it hard over the years because they want you to work even if it's just as a dishwasher. This I've had two lawyers who've represented me tell me and a judge as well during a hearing. They make it almost impossible. The best thing is finding a lawyer who'll fight hard for you and getting as much documentation as you can, list your work places and if I would say wherever you work, tell them your ailments and if you quit, ALWAYS back that up with your disabilities. Or if you have to leave/need to take more breaks or off days for your disabilities. Don't be stupid like me and say "I don't feel good" or "I'm having a bad mental health day", be descriptive and document it if it's in text or writing so they can't lie if disability contacts them. I was always too embarrassed to tell my college and most people about me. Only my last job did I, but she would lie through her teeth if they contact her why I took so many days off. I should've recorded and documented more. Even with lawyers, in the end you're fighting for yourself and your own case.
