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 !

  1. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  2. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  3. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  4. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  8. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  10. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  13. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  15. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  16. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  17. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  18. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though

  20. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
