I SHOULD be on disability, but I’m married. Anybody else angry the laws are like this?? I can BARELY function in public, but my options are hold down a job or die. Sometimes the latter seems more appealing, especially in the winter time…

      Even though I am on disability I only receive $783 so I have no other option but to work part time. Which feels impossible at times and I often lose my jobs because of my bipolar symptoms. I have 34 jobs in my life starting when I was 18 and I am now only 36. But! I can only make a combined monthly income of $1380 or I risk losing my benefits. It’s complete bullshit it is basically impossible. And the government doesn’t provide resources to offset expenses such as housing or groceries. I mean WTF? It’s like they want us to fail. No wonder people with bipolar are more likely to die by suicide than any other cause.

          @DitsyDiabetic see I don’t get that. How does being married make any difference? I am so sorry you have to go through that. America needs to do better for those who are differently abled
