BIPOLAR / NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and DISABILITY


Hi All .
Since my wife ' s latest relapse , I am really scared and concerned that
when she goes back to her line of work that she might aggravate her
condition again . I felt vulnerable the last time when she relapse that
I felt that my kids are not safe with her . With that said , can my wife
file for disability for her current condition ? I have a feeling that my
wife will never be mentally tough again to battle the stress and rigors
of working .
Please advise .

Well , I cant say I have an expert opinion but here ' s what Id do .
Contact HR at her job . If you dont feel comfortabel talking to them ,
then get the number for her insurance . Investigate mental health
coverage , if she has any . Outside of her job , I dunno who youd call .
Unemployment ? I dont see why disability isnt an option if she is that
disabled by it . You can also see her doctors with her , if she permits
it . If Im totally off , someone set me straight .

If she has short term disabitil through her job then you would go
through her insurance . You can also take time off under the FMLA ,
family medical leave act . For full term social secuity disability you
have to contact social security and start the process , it is not an
easy one , nor is it quick , it can take up to a year or two .

Re : BIPOLAR / NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and DISABILITY


First , I just want to commend you for caring enough to take the time to
research this and seek others opinions . I have often felt unable to
work as well . The majority of the time I can be committed to a job , but
I know I use more sick days than the average person because it is all
just too much to juggle at times .
Possibly your wife might consider a new line of work if this is too
stressful . Or going part time . Does she take her meds consistently ?

Re : BIPOLAR / NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and DISABILITY


I ' m 21 years old , and trying to get out on my own .
My parents ' ( my mother mainly ) and my lifestyles are apparently not
compatible , so it looks like it ' s time to go .
Due to my inability to deal with copious amounts of stress ... levels of
stress that normal people would be able to shrug off ( this happens with
a lot of jobs ... you people know what I am talking about ) , I end up
having to quit / get fired from the job , or my hours are cut to nothing
for not doing well .
I am trying to go about receiving public assistance as far as receiving
money for housing and food ... so I can concentrate what energies I do
have on my schooling .
I am spreading myself too thin if I worked enough to pay for an
apartment as well as go to school .
It is literally impossible for me to do both .
It ' s just rough waiting until this sort of help finally comes through .

Re : BIPOLAR / NERVOUS BREAKDOWN and DISABILITY


Trying for disability would be a good thing to do now , just to open
that option for her . BP is one of the conditions that make people
eligible for benefits .
Is she getting good treatment ?
I ' d worry about the kids , especially .
