Applying for disability due to mental health. - May 13th 2022, 01:47 AM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of suicide, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread therefore might not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

I talked to my medication prescriber yesterday and she recognized my job triggers me and I said that I think working in general is a trigger. She asked if I meant disabling and I'm like, "I don't know but I have no choice but to work."

I attempted suicide while at this job and it's an easy job with a flexible schedule. I worked at VS and it made me WANT to kill myself. I would actively self harm at work the two different occasions I worked with my dad, and when I was in high school I got an interview for a job and went to it but then decided I was too anxious to work.

Has anyone successfully gotten disability benefits in the US for mental health, and what did you go through to get it?

You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
