bookgirl Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'll try to be quick... I have bipolar type 1 with occasional psychotic features and generalized anxiety disorder. Been in treatment most of my adult life (I'm going to be 39 next month)....I've been on SSDI for my MI for ten years now and am currently in college part-time with hopes of becoming a registered nurse someday. I'm terrified of a relapse, (especially psychosis) but am going to try anyway because being on disability for so long has been messing with my already tarnished self-esteem. I'm losing my tdoc of four years in a few weeks, which I'm not happy about, especially since I'm starting to make major changes in my life and really need support along the way. Looking forward to becoming part of this community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusk Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Welcome bookgirl. I can relate to the disability thing messing with your self-esteem. I was on SSI for years but then my husband made too much money and I couldn't get it anymore. I hope you're successful with becoming an RN.
