Happy Tuesday. Has anyone been denied by SSI? I applied but was denied. My therapist said I should be eligible. Anyway, I had to get a lawyer and appeal. Has anyone been denied then won the appeal. I’m so nervous.

What defines a disability?

My place of employment was brought by a corporation. Staff members had to fill out new paperwork. When the question of disability came up, I did not know how to answer. I’ve been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and there are times it affects my work and sometimes it does not. I’m lost on how to answer . #MajorDepressiveDisorder #disabilty #MentalHealth #Work

I'm annoyed of the phrase "All the best and stay healthy"

It's normal that people say that to eachother, especially on birthdays, graduations, etc. but everytime I hear it I get pretty annoyed and sad. Why? Because it reminds me that I'm never gonna be healthy again (I'm chronically ill/disabled). It just ruins the moment for me. Anyone else from the disabled/chronic illness community feeling the same way? #ChronicIllness #chronic #Depression #sad #Disabled #disabilty #JuvenileIdiopathicArthritis #JIA #TheDisabledLife #Health #physicalhealth #MentalHealth #chronicdisease

Anyone ever have to start all over to get the correct diagnosis? #disabilty #Disappointed #frustrated #confused

About 15 or so years ago I was diagnosed with a genetic disability (I'm adopted, just tested my genes) and was diagnosed with Adult Onset Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA4). In needing a current genetic test to show I have the genes to start a medication, text came back negative. SO we are starting ask over with testing to find out what I actual have.
