mentally ill shut-in
- Feb 24, 2022

I am currently in the process of trying to get DAC/adult child disability SSDI. I have struggled with serious mental illness since I was 12 years old, and it impedes my ability to work, go to school, drive, ect. It has made me a completely isolated shut-in. I also believe I may have undiagnosed autism/aspergers along with these illnesses, which makes things even more stressful. I have been denied by Social Security twice now, and my upcoming ALJ case is not looking any better. Despite the severity of my illnesses, they say I can work. If I get denied ultimately, I strongly believe it is very likely I will end up CBTing in the months after. My illnesses have ruined my whole life, and these people simply don't care. I'm likely going to admit myself into the psych ward today because of the suicidal ideation being so strong but I really have no idea what I will do if I get denied again. CBT seems like the only answer right now.
