Hey I have this poor ability to sleep which really makes it hard for me to work or do much of anything really. I do occasionally get a full night's rest, but most of the time I seem to only sleep for like 2-3 hours or maybe 4 at most. And that is not enough to keep me alert all day long. I don't know why I have this problem. I think it has something to do with where I live. I live in a pretty dense neighborhood, and I think I cannot sleep with people nearby me. I know that probably sounds silly but it's true. Actually there might be more too it to that, because this all started a long time ago, and at that time I was sleeping great like a baby, and living in a house with lots of roommates which didn't bother me in the slightest. I should preface that by saying a few months prior to that I had just quit smoking and started working out and was making serious gains. But then like 3 months later someone offered me a cigarette, I told myself I was never going to smoke again but then I said hey what the hell what can one cigarette do? well that cigarette triggered some kind of malfunction in my brain, and I've been pretty messed up since then. This was over a decade ago. It definitely interferes with my ability to work or even look for work. I don't know what I should do. My parents aren't going to be around forever. Does anyone think I can claim disability based on this story? thanks,

No that will not work . if it is insmnia caused by ptsd or other such anxiety based dissorders then you have a case

hmm. Okay, I guess I will look into it. I don't have ptsd but might have some anxiety issues. I know the process to get that is pretty hard. It's not that i want to be a leach off the government, I just feel like I'm too mentally unstable to hold a job.  Thanks for your reply.

I couldn't get it for Chronic Pain Syndrome, denied twice so just said  "Screw it " and gave up. Also, I only work 20 hours a week but that put me over the limit for it. Would of had to quit all together and couldn't afford to wait 3,4 years on appeals. " It's my money and I want it NOW"!!

 
It depends what state you are in, some states it is much easier to claim disability than others.  In WA my sisters boyfriend claims disability for knee problems and plays on a basketball team, its insane.  You can pretty much get it for anything there, most places it is not that easy.  You might be able to claim bipolar or severe depression, there are a lot of hoops to jump through and they will put you on every free sample the drug rep has dropped off trying to turn you into a serouquel zombie along the way.  I have similar problems as you are referring to, was on disability for awhile but it just wasn't worth it and the medical care I got (pre medicaid expansion) was very poor.  Now that most states have passed medicaid expansion bills it is better medical care but you have to see real Dr.s that will try and actually fix your problems rather than throw boxes of free seroquel samples at you.

 
i need disability , and a good lawyer, im a total fking wreck,  i am just to lazy to type it up !

  2. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: How about that curling team huh? Give it up
  3. Dr-Octagon @ Dr-Octagon: Top o tha Marnin
  4. Professor_ @ Professor_: Good morning Guys
  5. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  6. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  7. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  17. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  20. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
