Do you have a disability that you can easily get money for but just don' t?

i have six fractures in my spine and i have an anxiety disorder. if i wanted to cry about how bad i was in pain 80% of the time i could and it basically cant be disputed because they expected it.... buttt

i dont.

Yes, epilepsy. I am fine though. If I were to take money from the government just because I have a seizure once in a while I would consider it fraud. Now if I had the kind of epilepsy where I have seizures all the time and couldn't work then yeah, I would consider it. I still probably wouldn't though just because we are fine on a financial level to begin with and unless I lose my insurance there would be no reason to go through all that just to get some extra money.

I have anxiety and panic disorders, and severe psoratic arthritis. I've worked full time since I was 17 years old, and when I had to give up my career in nursing I simply started a new career in IT. IMO there is no disability that you can't work with.

where is the option for no disabilities?

I never "got money" for my disability until October. I will not forever be on SSDI. I have worked in the past and will be back in the job force. Until you've gone through what I've been through with my mental illness (it isn't just severe anxiety, it is something that I can't just get through) you have no room to judge. I've shared on here a very small smidgen of what I go through only a daily basis. If I need to I can go through what else I have. What I've gone through. What Ive missed.

I regret bringing a child into this world I cannot, today, provide for. I hate myself for it. After this though I will be better and do better. I lean alot on my parents.

It may be bullsmurf to some. I don't care. It's what I go through on a daily basis.

It's a D&D - normally there is an option for those who don't fit the criteria but are interested in the topic. You can't SEE the vote unless you actually vote.

You can just add something like "I just want to see the vote tally".
Or maybe since I am not personally disabled I just shouldn't show any interest in the topic at all?

I dunno. My dad is a worker's compensation lawyer and plenty of his clients are just totally unable to work at just about any capacity. The first one that came to mind was a woman who injured her spine while working. During her first surgery to fix it the doctors/nurses/whoever forgot to make sure her eyes didn't have pressure on them during the eight hour procedure (as she was on her stomach and they were using a type of table similar to a massage table) and she went totally blind as a result. Not only is she partially paralyzed because they were unable to fix everything but she was also left totally blind. She was also older too so to say an older woman who has been paralyzed and blinded can work with her disability a bit misguided.

Imagine starting over like that at age 60. And then imagine finding work like that; work that can actually support a person. It just isn't gonna happen in most cases. Learning how to read and commute on your own again would take years alone.

I do get SSI but a lot of the time I don't receive a check because the amount DH makes

No need to get smurffy about it - I already explained I never saw the button before.
