I was a Social Worker with Child Protective Services. I made many home visits. I was falling a lot at work and fell at a home. I decided that it was time to put in for disability when I fell at one of my clients home and her 8 yr old daughter wanted to help me up but the mother did not want to. It was pouring rain. The top stair was what did me in. I became a liability for my job and it became a safety issue for me. I was turned down twice by social security but was approved right away with the state. I loved my job and had a hard time with not working. Depression set in and my doctors wanted me to see a professional for it. I went and of course was put on medicine and started seeing a counselor. I was told to hire an attorney which I did for social security. Believe it that me being diagnosed with bi-polar (insurance wont accept simple depression so have to be diagnosed with something else). Once the bipolar was put down it got approved without a hearing. so I said yeah for depression(haha). I get a retirement and Social Security. I am very lucky in receiving them. I still would rather work but I would be a liability for any job. I cant sit or stand for very long. I dont have to go through all the symptoms as all of us on this board know them too well. Make sure sure you dont under tell it Tell them like it is. If I can help you in anyway please call me or post it or email me.
