Does anyone besides myself actually receive SSI, SSDI, or an international equivalent?
I started on it when I graduated college so that I can get my disability under control. I cannot work right now, but I am really hoping to get a part time teaching position as soon as I can   .
SSI lets you work and still get medical assistance, which I need due to the amount of medicine I take. Your SSI payments decrease, but you keep the medical assistance, which is cool.

It doesn't mean that much to me,
Sometimes I don't mean that much to you
And I don't even know what I'm hiding for...

I was insanely lucky and got it in like 3 months, but I have years of failed treatments going back to when I was like 7. Best of luck to you!

My boyfriend gets money from the government for having PTSD because he is a veteran and he should be getting full disability soon.

You disgust me. It is people like you that make people who actually have a disability have trouble getting on SSI/SSDI. Get that fucking pot leaf avatar off of here and get a fucking job.

Actually, I would not take free money from people with genuine problems. Most people don't get disability until their second appeal, due to people like you. Luckily, I am fucked up enough to get it first try.

I may be misunderstanding you. If you DO have a disability, I sincerely apologize. If not, I stand by my statements whole-heartedly and won't back down for shit.
