I was diagnosed with Bipolar and Panic Disorder and have been hospitalized for several days because I was suicidal and severely non functional.
I am on Lithium and Ativan (though my Lithium Levels can't seem to stabilize even with a huge dose). I hallucinate, delusional, forgetful, been through 3 marriages, can't keep friends, can't concentrate, extremely temperamental, and most days I can't even leave my home because of it.
The older I get the worse it gets, I feel so hopeless and the only reason I haven't killed myself is because I love my children so much and I know they need me but then again with the hell I've put everyone through I think they'd be better off without me.
My husband fears I will be arrested for scenes I cause in public because I think people are rude to me and I take things the wrong way, I remember nothing of these episodes most times and when I do I never see anything wrong. So I just stay home to avoid it and the panic attacks that are pretty much debilitating and very embarrassing.
I was told I can get SSI for this problem I have because there is no way in Hell I can hold down a job but I haven't worked in 9 years because I quit to take care of a special needs child. I was told that could work against me but I've tried to get a job but no one will hire me and my husband said it's because of how I come across to people when I talk to them, but I just don't see it.
I've already applied online and am waiting for my additional paperwork, I've told them everything mentioned above and more because there's much more to my issues than folks want to read. I would like to be able to win without having to give a lawyer a bunch of my back pay is there any tricks to it?
Do you think I can win without getting denied and if I do get a denial will a lawyer take my case? My auntie told me a lawyer won't take your case unless they think they will win. I always go to my psychiatrist and I take my meds without fail though they seem to only take the edge off.
