Disability update-feedback, please!

Posted by brynb on January 8, 2013, at 20:43:25

Hi all-

I wanted some feedback and also wanted to give an update to an earlier thread I started.

I saw my pdoc yesterday and we didn't have time to discuss my desire to apply for disability. He seems to be leaning towards a definitive diagnosis of Bipolar 2 rather than MDD. But, he's so damn hesitant. Based on my experience, mood charting, research, story sharing and simply being self-aware, I believe BP2 is a pretty accurate Dx. As he and I didn't have time to discuss disability, he wants me to email him my argument for it. Really?

Below is my earlier thread, and suffice to say, I've been out of commission for a good 7-8 years due to depression (and substance abuse, which is no longer an issue, but was my way of self-medicating). When I was younger, despite breakdowns and depression, I managed to get by. I got my bachelors. I got my masters. I worked high pressure jobs. Now, I just can't anymore. I fall apart. I'm unreliable. I feel like I've been to hell and back this past decade and can't understand why he's putting off my disability process.

Here's my original disability thread:

Thanks and I welcome your comments.
