[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 311052, member: 1514"] Mattsmom it is quite similar here. I quit my job in april of 01. I had every intention of just taking a break and seeing if that gave me time to get better. My docs told me I was nuts but I thought I could do it. 2 years later I decided I simply couldnt find any job that I could do. I looked..but there was nothing out there that I could do that would hire me. So I applied for disability. I was devistated when the denial letter came and told me I could work...and in there absolutely absurd wording..[B]You handle stress extremely well![/B] LOL. Ok...if I handle stress well, maybe I should work for the post office! OMG...I thought then I was done for. My psychiatrist had given them paperwork telling them how I had panic attacks in crowds and how I punch holes in my walls when angry or stressed. That is handling stress well? HUH? Ok. So I gave up that application and tried to find a job. I was so upset I thought I couldnt get disability. I took another year and a half off until my therapist forced the issue. I applied again, got denied again and got a lawyer. This time we won. It took me two years. I applied in may 2005, won in may 2007. Got retroactive pay back to 2003 because one of their doctors said I should have been approved back then! Their doctor! Not mine. The judge was livid. [/QUOTE]
