Disability

I found the online applications for SSI and food stamps, but I'm not really sure what to do. Obviously I just need to fill out the information they want from me, but I'm just really nervous I guess. I can't stand interacting with people, especially direct confrontations like I know is going to happen when I get denied initially. I know not everyone gets denied the first time they apply, but I'm pretty sure I will. I don't have any recent doctors visits, but I do have history of going a couple years ago. I was never diagnosed with anything (but I did get Wellbutrin once) and I would really like to have a new visit with someone who actually knows what they're doing. I don't feel like I've ever had a proper screening and I don't know how to set one up. Is this something they'll do for me as a mental evaluation?

I don't even know what exactly is wrong with me. If I had to self-diagnose, I'd definitely say I'm a schizoid with dysthymia at the very least. I'd also say I have anhedonia if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't lose my ability to feel pleasure, since I've never really had it in the first place. Sometimes I think I might be a bit bipolar, but that comes and goes. I think I might have some form of aspergers or autism. There's a couple other things I sometimes think I might have, but they're not really coming to mind at the moment. I spend the vast majority of my time alone in my room, just listening to classical music or watching cartoons. I don't even play vidya or do anything else interactive. Living like this is the only way I don't feel like killing myself, but I also know normalfags wouldn't even be able to tolerate living the way I do. Like most robots, I don't have friends, I've never been in a relationship, and I never use social media.

I figure adding all that in would show I'm clearly not normal. I also figure that being in my early 20s is a good point in this, as this is the age when a lot of mental disorders really make an appearance in people's lives.

I think I technically qualify for SSDI, depending on when I "became" disabled. I'd like to say that was on my last day of working, when I had a panic attack and quit on the spot, but that was 2 years ago and I don't know if it still counts. There really wasn't a specific point, since I've been like this since I was a kid. I was on the verge of killing myself just about every day when I had to go to school and then the same when I had to work. I dropped out of community college before a semester was even finished by just not showing up any more. I think the only reason I was able to graduate high school was because I went to a small charter school where I could work by myself. I got A's back then, would that hurt my chances of getting disability, since it shows that at one point I was able to work? I think I might actually be a savant of sorts, because I actually feel quite retarded despite everyone, including the school system, saying I'm smart.

I also read about being an adult child getting SSDI based off your parent's work credits. I know my mom would definitely qualify for SSDI herself if she became disabled. Is this another avenue I should pursue if I can't get SSDI myself?

I know this is kind of blog-post-y, but I just wanted to outline my situation for anyone who might be knowledgeable on this subject.

take your mess to the process. be messy. say u need help. wherever your department of social services is.

even if you can succeed on the first attempt, it can take months (but you may start off with some income assistance until there is a decision).
go
go
go

>>38595023

Nigger you are not getting SSI just because you got prescribed wellbutrin one time.

You need to be on a psych ward, preferably brought in by police, preferably psychotic as opposed to suicidal, and you probably need that to happen at least two or three times.

It is doable to gain the system in this way but it'd probably be easier to just get a job honestly.

>Sometimes I think I might be a bit bipolar, but that comes and goes

If you were bipolar you'd already have been in the loony bin at least a couple of times by now. Regardless, Social Security wants diagnoses from doctors, not self-diagnosis.

>I figure adding all that in would show I'm clearly not normal.

You don't get neetbucks for being abnormal, they have to think you are literally incapable of working.

> I'd like to say that was on my last day of working, when I had a panic attack and quit on the spot

The fact that you quit your last job, as opposed to say being fired due to your supposed disability, does not help your case.

Honestly dude I'm not trying to be a dick but you're not going to get free money with your story.

>>38597145
>>38597204
No shit. That's why I'm asking for advice. I don't know how to get a real diagnosis. I'm hoping they send me to a doctor for a psyche exam.
>>38597164
I do need help. It's hard for me to interact with people and ask for help, though. One of the many problems that got me in this situation to begin with. I'm just going to start off with the online application and wing it from there, I guess.

>>38597226
if we can tell you are full of bullshit you wont fare any better at a doctor

>>38597226
Can't you get assistance because you had a job?
Like they help you support yourself while you search for work.
I know you don't want a job but they think you do

>>38597226
>I don't know how to get a real diagnosis.

Pretend to be completely insane. As I said above, you have better odds with psychosis as opposed to suicidality/anxiety/general neurosis.

It is probably not particularly hard to fool a psychiatrist into thinking you are a schizophrenic. Read up on it, watch videos of actual schizos, and walk into your local ER with a complaint of hearing voices.

NB: you will in all likelihood be forced to take very unpleasant medications and spend at least a week or so in a psych ward that may or may not be a profoundly unpleasant place.

Once you get out of the hospital, that's when you would start trying to get on social security.

I doubt that many people have actually pulled an "Uncle Remus" in this way, though.

Just get a job op.
Im trans.
My body is covered in self harm scars
I've been to Looney bin
In been diagnosed rapid cycling bipolar
Borderline personality disorder
Body dysmorphic disorder
Social anxiety
Have tons of suicide attempts
Paranoia
I can't be in public without having a panic attack

And I've waited a year and a half to get denied. Almost two years now and I appealed and they are sending me to a doctor to get a medical eval. So almost two years later I'm just going to see a doc about maybe being qualified.

So tumblr diagnosis doesn't mean shit.
Go see docs and psych people etc and have shit on record. There's also a thing called suffering like title 14 or 17 or some shit with ssa and disability you could look into as well.

>>38597420
you got denied because you are a walking meme

>>38597268

I'm not going to straight up lie. If I get it, good. If I don't, I'll kill myself and not have to deal with this shit. It's a win/win situation.
>>38597420
I wasn't trying to act like my self-diagnosis would do shit. I'm just saying what I think I have. I want to go to a real doctor but don't know how. Thanks for the advice, though.

This. Am schizophrenic. I'm always hallucinating & having delusions, talking to my imaginary spirit homies. Have been dragged by cops to lots of hospitals. This guy is right.

Unless you have actual records and lots of proof of your disability, you probably won't get it.
They'll want to know specifically what it is that is preventing you from being able to work.
You need to be able to prove you truly have something wrong with you and that it prevents you from working.

If getting on welfare is so hard, how do all the niggers and spics do it?

I was in and out of psych wards for a year. for a month or so at a time. I got it my first try. pretty sweet desu.

You are doing a job retard plus you have to be smart to do what you are doing so you are chad

>>38600088
You don't have to be smart at all. I only have a 110 IQ (actually tested) I failed nearly every class in HS. And it's barely a job.

i dont think you need a police escort but you should go to the hospital and tell them youre losing touch with reality and its affecting your eating, sleeping and daily habits. you thought people were chasing you or contacting you telepathically and through secet messages. you perceive yourself being followed by government agent types etc.

one psyche ward stay for a week or so should be enough if you can articulate to a disability lawyer how your problems prevent you from being able to work. ie not being able to concentrate or feel safe around others or interpret orders or spontaneously cry or get enough sleep etc

a disability lawyer might delay the process even more because they get on average 25% of your initial settlement and since that settlement will increase the longer you have to wait, the longer his nose is, the longer your wait time will be. but its almost guaranteed if you have some psyche history and a disability lawyer on contingecy.

>>38599613

Parents taught me about it, watched videos online. Just watch some videos online and do some research.

>>38595005
Okay, before you even apply you need to start to see a psychiatrist and get a diagnosis. You won't get anything without one and you will fuck yourself if you try to apply now. They really prefer it when people are referred for SSI from a professional; it's how they weed out the fakes and they will NOT appreciate getting a form from some unemployed dude who is self diagnosing.

if you want to live as a NEET, move to maine.

>>38600957
I was definitely thinking this, but I was hoping they'd be able to get me a psyche evaluation after I applied. I don't know how to go to a real psyche doctor. I've gotten wellbutrin from a GP and have gone to various types of counseling, but never an actual psychiatrist. What are the chances they'll recommend disability after the first visit or two? I really hate interacting with people and am not going to have much to say other than the shit I posted at the top of the thread.

>>38595040
> self diagnosed.
> barely any work experience to put into the system
> counting on mommy's shitty salary

dude, you're going to get denied unless you roll up in a wheel chair with a cast on. You have to show proof to the SS office why you can't work. That is the key and it requires medical documentation out the ass.

Not to mention you're going to get a shit amount if you haven't put into the system for at least a decade of zero deductions on your tax returns from getting raped by Uncle Sam.

Must fucking suck being a NEET in America.

In the UK, we get NEETbux for various disabilities, including mental health issues, this doesn't include separate benefits for housing and shit. It's entirely possible to never work, have your own place, and have it all paid for by the government indefinitely providing you remain "unfit for work".

The current government are trying to change this though and make us more like America, there were massive protests over it though and the cunts backed off a bit thankfully.

>>38601275
I wasn't trying to say the self-diagnosis was what was going to get me the money, merely describing what I think I have. I want to get a doctor's diagnosis, but don't know how. I was thinking they'd send me to one for a psyche evaluation.
I don't care how much I get, as long I get something. I only have $200/mo in my own bills, but my mom is struggling and I'd like to be able to throw some money her way for rent and whatnot. I'm also going to see if I can get on food stamps and help her by buying groceries.

go to a behavioural health services clinic and tell them what's going on. If you are diagnosed, you will be assigned a case manager who will act as a therapist if you are poor. Do this for a few months and if you haven't improved and it keeps you from working, then you should apply for disability.

>>38601581
Okay, that seems like a good idea. I don't know how to do the clinic part, though. I never even heard of that. Do I just walk in and ask to talk to someone? How much does it cost? I'm broke as fuck.

I got ssi first try and was setup with a subsidized apartment, food stamps, free utilities etc.

After about 4 years I went out and got a job anyway even though I could have been set for life. You won't believe me, but that lifestyle gets really old really fast no matter how antisocial you are. It melts your brain.

>>38601696
If this normie can get ssi, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to.

>>38601259
Okay, so go to your GP for a check up and ask them to refer you to a psychiatrist. If you have money problems, mention it to your GP before they give you a referral. You will probably have to go a few times (to the psych) before they will feel qualified to give you a rec for SSI. It will be tough, but it's a fuck of a lot better than having to deal with the courts and endless appeals when you don't get it (because you won't qualify for SSI without a recommendation). Also, it's best not to sound like you are fishing for the recommendation. BTW it's probably best to aim for a bilpolar diagnosis, because most other things won't do it. Good luck, anon.

>>38601523
are you proof of this happening anon

Thanks for the advice, but what do I say I even want to get out of it if not SSI?

>>38601696
How did you manage that? I have SSI and all I get is $1,000 a month (in California) and I can barely pay for a room and food. They won't even give me food stamps. How did you get them to give you so much?

>>38601833
my brother is. he applied for disability and got denied for a long time. eventually he was approved and they go back to when you first applied to retroactively pay your benefits. some people end up with 20k+ checks

look up section 8 housing and you can live like a king

Google behavioral health services in your area. they are free if you are a poor fag. You just tell the receptionist you want to talk to someone and you'll fill out a form.
