Yo Sup Forums I'm applying for social security disability. My therapist has diagnosed me with OCD and MDD

Yo Sup Forums I'm applying for social security disability. My therapist has diagnosed me with OCD and MDD.
Any thoughts or advice for me? I would really like to hear from anyone with experience with the process of applying, and or having OCD, and or MDD. What do you think the chances are of me qualifying?
Also, ask me anything.

>Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
>Major Depressive Disorder
In case any of you fucktards didn't know.
Also, bamp.

Dang dude. My dubs game is pretty fucking strong today.

I have MDD.
Diagnosed 2014.

Depends on what country you live in user.

USA. How are you coping with your depression? I was actually really surprised when she diagnosed me with this. I don't really feel like an excessively sad person, but i do feel like a completely worthless person, and i think about offing myself several times a week.

This isn't helping my depression.

People have their own ways of coping with depression.

I'm anti-social I found a little happiness avoiding people.

I don't know about qualifying in USA, I'm Canadian.

Well shit man. Thanks for posting anyway.

I'm also depressed, as some evidence might suggest. No official diagnosis, but I possess a formal education in psychology, and am a pretty intelligent and objective guy.

are you a woman?

If not I have bad news for you

How often do you think about killing yourself? Have you ever tried to?

I'm a dude. What is the bad news?

relax and have a snack

I got into drugs at a young age. Once I quit and partook of a life of self development and dedication to obtaining knowledge, I was doing pretty good. Eventually, my life just started getting worse. Around 4 years later, here I am: a mess.
I still develop myself, I still obtain knowledge, maybe out of habit, but it's not shit compared to how it used to be.

>How often do you think about killing yourself? Have you ever tried to?
I've tried to overcome psychological barrios keeping me from killing myself at least twice, it's been years since that, though not very many.
I'm past the killing myself thing for the most part.
In the past 3 months, I've thought about killing myself, but not thinking that for sure that's what I want, just passing thoughts, less than 10 times (I estimate), it might have been more.

Drugs are supposed to be good. You must have been using the wrong kind.

I used to have so much fire under me, so much drive, I had my goals, and I ran towards them.

My drive now is very dull, I'm not working with purpose towards my goals.

I'm just living a shitty life, probably out of impulse.
I'm not doing anything with my life, relatively speaking. I'm doing things with my life, probably out of habit, I'm doing more things with my life than the average person in my country, but it really doesn't come close to my standards; and I wont reach my goals at this rate, well, I probably wont reach my goals like this.

I was using drugs for entertainment.

Drugs were keeping me from self development and obtaining knowledge.

My wife has multiple diagnoses. OCD, MDD, body dysmorphia disorder. She has received inpatient and intensive out patient treatment. It fucking sucks. There are days she spends 16+ hours in bed. She was able to work until recently, but hasn't applied for any sort of benefits. I feel for you.

>closet color coordinated
>not coordinated by clothing type, with each sub section coordinated by color

Thanks man. I really don't feel like it affects my life that much, but it really is only because i have a very supportive girlfriend, who enables me to stay in my apartment almost 24/7. It really becomes obvious when have have any responsibility though. Like babysitting for even just a few hours will really stress me out in spite of the fact that i enjoy spending time with the kids in my family.

I feel like you can still fucking work, so why do you need social security?

I'm generally an emotionally shallow guy, relative to neurotypical humans, not saying that I completely lack emotion, but I noticed that I got angry today.

I've had trouble identifying my emotions, and whether or not I felt emotions, but it seems like I get especially upset when I don't get enough sleep. It might just be because I find it upsetting if I don't get enough sleep.

How the fuck would you know? You don't know what it's like in my head. I don't take my word for it. A lot of people i respect tell me that it is necessary. I fought the idea for a long time, because of how worthless i felt. I still kinda feel like i'm just a bad person, and not a disabled person.

I'm also tired of these damn pornographic adds on Sup Forums.

Not just the pornographic ones, the sexually suggestive ones, as well.

you are probably disabled, talk to your doctor and get on the government train asap

Have you tried growing up?

Implying humans got this far by crying about having to work to live.

You aren't a disabled person. a person with social issues, maybe, but there are jobs to accommodate. The staying at home and taking a check route is just giving up. good luck feeling any sense of self worth not working for anything that you buy, that will just add to your depression.

Your chances are small. Do you want to be chained to the welfare system for life? Ask yourself this. Not good or bad is this what you want? This is modern day slavery. You will be a slave to the system. Be careful what you ask for

My diet right now is so bad. My diet used to be very healthy.

I used to not drink coffee, now consume large amounts of coffee in order to self medicate myself with caffeine.

I should be sleeping right now, but I'm just fucking around on Sup Forums.
I'm going to compensate with caffeine in the morning.

how many years have you worked? You need a certain amount of social security credits to qualify.

Basically if you've never paid into SS, you can't get anything.

Well i'm fucked then. I've worked a little over a month in my life. I'm 25 by the way.

>you are probably disabled
I'm high functioning. I'm an outstanding human being; I perform highly above the norm even with sleep deprivation and depression holding me back.

Also, don't misinterpret the "outstanding" part. As far as I'm concerned, average humans, neural typicals, it's not much to be above in the first place.

For me, being outstanding relative to normal people is like normal people being outstanding relative to severely mentally retarded people.

...

OP, you have little chance of getting disability for mental health concerns. It is nigh impossible, unless you are some raving, schizoid freak show who rubs shit on his face in public, etc…

I have 2 genetic disorders, have also had 3 surgeries in the past year, and still cannot get any disability or supplemental income benefits.

Good luck.

Sorry bro. My wife got a transplant and tried to get social security but got instadenied. She's a teacher in GA and they don't pay into SS, so she couldn't get it. However, she was covered by her medical plan for disability for a few months.

Thanks for the advice user, and for helping me keep my expectations in check.

That's the fucked up catch 22 to disability. You are so fucked up your whole life that you cannot work, but the only shot at a normal life or income depends on you having worked in the past. Makes absolutely no sense. But any niggress who shits out kids at the rate of one every 12 months can get welfare. KEK

I've socialized with humans more recently, and through the exposure, I'm reminded of the delusion that plagues humanity so. Delusion born of ignorance and a lack of intelligence.

Illogical bullshit.

Me, a very logical human. When exposed to stimuli, I think to myself that I do not know, that I lack sufficient information to come to a sure conclusion, I think that I should obtain more information and not make assumptions. I don't make assumptions. But my emotional state changes, changes to that which is generated as if I made an assumption, as if I assumed that possibly neutral stimuli to be negative.
What is that bullshit?

Do you think that my therapist vouching (for lack of a better word) for me will make any difference?

Wtf? If she had an organ transplant she should be eligible. Apply again and again. Medicareexpertfag fag here. Keep trying she will get it

But this person isn't fucked. They have minimal disabilities that doesn't disqualify for them to work. They can make a living.

This is what my therapist keeps telling me.

Just sayin' in general.

Seriously!?

SUCK IT UP, BUTTERCUP!

JESUS, you fucking kids with your feels. Go back to work, pay taxes, there are people out there (like me) missing fucking limbs and have mangled body parts. They NEED it.

YOU DON'T!

Just sayin nothing

You know next to nothing about the OP why do you feel that you are in a position to say some shit like that?

People die all the time from depression. People rarely die from having one fewer limbs.

eligible for medicare but not social security disability

make sense, dickhead

I know that at a young age your last ditch effort shouldn't be to give up an go to SSI, especially because that shit might not be around in the next 40 years. When the OP is significantly older and doesn't have an discernible skills to pass off as a means of income. As far as depression goes, that os easily overcome by a sense of accomplishment, which work an appropriate job can do fora person. I deal with the same shit and reveal in the person accomplishments that i achieve with the modest salary that I have.

This victim mentality has to stop. Its not a race or contest to see who's fucking weaker or more damaged. Id give anything to have ocd and mdfuckingwhatever, and be able to walk and tie my shoes.

Man up, kids. Acting like a wimpy twink is why black men are scooping the hotties.

we don't need subhumans like you living off of our hard work! kys! people should be shot the second they're unable to contribute to society! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa! usa!

>I deal with the same shit
How do you know that? People kill themselves every day because of depression. How many times have you killed yourself?
Inb4 well they are just cry babies.
Depression is kind of a serious thing, or at least it can be.

Thats a little extreme, but FFS, this country will crumble if everyone throws their hands in the air and says IM DONE!

Have some pride.

>Its not a race or contest to see who's fucking weaker or more damaged.
>There are people out there (like me) missing fucking limbs and have mangled body parts.

Get a lawyer. SS will fight every step of the way. Lawyer will request hearing, you'll get paid. Expect it to take a year or more.

>I'm on disability.

how are you typing if you have missing limbs

/check
/mate

>Replying to this troll.
Alternatively.
>Replying to someone this fucking edgy.

Never called them cry babies, but I feel like you're just making excuses.

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it user. What are you on disability for?

You don't know the extent to which i am fucked up in the head. Maybe i am just making excuses, but you have absolutely no way of knowing that.

Umm...dah. With a phone in portrait mode, and my thumb?

Seriously, kids. The pride you feel from calloused hands and sweaty, greasy arms and back, is unequaled. Women LOVE a guy in a hard hat, tool belt, and sweat rings under your pits.

And making it to retirement is THE ultimate fuck you to your enemies. Knowing you stuck it out and won is satisfying. I *almost* made it before getting rekt.

ballses

Injuries I sustained during my stint in the military, PSTD, migraines from hell.

I also get a check from Uncle Sugar (federal gubment)

that's why every disabled person should be executed!

...

...

Hey man. This is off topic, but what do you appreciate most when you tell folks that you served in the military? Do you like when they say like "thank you for your service" or what? I've never really been in that situation but i wouldn't know what to say.

...

Also let me know if i'm like totally out of line here, but i kinda feel like i shouldn't thank you. I kind of see it as a job. You get paid, and it's not even the most dangers job you can have. If i met a crab fisherman in Alaska i wouldn't feel the need to thank them. Again, let me know if i'm way out of line.

...

Thanks for keeping the thread bumped. Appreciate you Sup Forumsro.

dicks i think

I just am sick and tired of all this PC bullshit. Our grandfathers stormed a fucking beach under withering nazi fire at 18. We line up for cry-ins and hugfests.

Internalize your feelings. It toughens you, and prepares you for real life.

Great
Yet another loser I have to support with my taxes

This is why men's suicide rate is so much higher than woman's. Your macho bullshit is just a product of your upbringing and societies vision of what a man should be. It's bullshit.

trump has solved the problem. see:

I'm gonna buy so much useless shit with your tax dollars.

>got this far
we haven't changed. instead of being primitive primates with sticks, we're now primitive primates with fancy gadgets. our behavior hasn't changed, we're just blinged out. and retard primates that we are, we think we have accomplished something.

No, its higher because you kids give in. You give up, clock out.

Tough it out,you might surprise yourself.

The world is getting MORE dangerous, and the young are getting weaker.

My ex best friend's mom was on disability. She was diagnosed with OCD and MDD for sure. I'm not sure if there was anything else tacked on there, maybe an anxiety disorder (got xanax, valium, etc. but wouldn't take them, just sold them for extra money for dumb shit to fill her pointless life). How old are you? How long have you been battling with your disorders? Have you tried working out meds with a psychiatrist and have you tried CBT with a therapist?

People die because of this. They fucking die... There life ends... And your advice is "Man up."?

Well now I'm depresed, guess I'll go on aid

>Any thoughts or advice for me?

Need to self admit to the local inpatient mental health hospital.

I'm 25. I've had OCD since i was around 11ish for sure, but probably before that, and i've had depression for probably as long. Both times i was hospitalized they put me on meds, but when my prescription ran out i never went back to get more, and my counselor has yet to suggest medication. I've seen her i think 5 times now.

Why do you say that?

They die from depression or they give up and eat a bullet? The depression dont kill em, they kill themselves.

What the hell does it matter what kills them? They die. It was a person, and they died. I know we are on Sup Forums and you have to be edgy, but these people are people... And they die.

OT MATTERS BECAUSE THEY GIVE UP!

Jeez us, you just don't get it, do ya.

YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM, ESPECIALLY OF YOUR OWN GODDAMN MIND!

Grow thefuck up.

Well if you've only been to 5 sessions then you're just starting. I'm fairly new to CBT too. Typically a counselor or therapist, if they're a psychologist, don't deal with meds. A psychiatrist is who works with you with medication. I really recommend keeping up working with your therapist and seeing a psychiatrist for meds and keeping up with them too. Therapy and meds in combination can really help.
