short term disability bipolar
I should feel guilty about applying for SSDI?
I have severe bipolar disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Currently I am on 4 medications to control the symptoms but I still have episodes every few weeks that make me completely non-functional. I'm 22 and have worked mainly in the banking sector in several capabilities. Banks worked for offered generous coverage for short-term disability had to seize every 3 or 4 months for weeks or even months at a time because my symptoms were so bad he could barely function at home, much less at work. I decided I could not return to work anytime in the near future, so I quit my job 4 weeks ago. I've been trying to stay employed for scraping the last 4 years but its getting to the point where you just do not. In the last year I lost about 6 months of work due to my illness I feel bad about that request because it wants to feel like a leech. I do not want to be classified as "lazy" or that I am abusing the system. Am I right?
Why you feel guilty about getting SSDI, when everything is ready for help people who can not work and everything I wrote about how you can not work, so the answer is no. But people may feel uncomfortable with the fact that you do not have to work and do, but I think it does not seem important in comparison with their condition. Simply take the time to do the best they can, and when your ready to return to the workforce do so.
