I got on disability in less than a year. 6 months to wait to apply, then a few months later there was a large sum of money in the bank. It does take 2 years to get the medicare from when you were disabled. First try no lawyer. Just a good long time doc.
At the time I needed a desperate break from work, longer than the 2 weeks they offered. So SSDI was a life saver. Because no mater how hard I tried I could not get a job. I was just too unstable.
True that SSDI does not pay a living sum of money. You will have to find a cheap living arangment, or get a part time job, which is all I seem to be able to handle now.
ECTs are horable. erased all memory for most of the 20 years before. 15 years later and I still have a lot of gaps. Drugs do work! I recently took a decrease in some of my APs and it was horrible. Now the doc is slowly going back up in doses. I also medicate with alcohol, which helps a lot, wheather or not anyone wants to hear that including my pdoc.
