Disability

My mom talked to the brother of one of her friends in college, who is a psychologist/neuropsychiatrist (?) He said that he thought I should be on disability. (Diagnosing someone without ever talking to her?) However, I'd have too many assets to go on federal (Social Security) disability. You can have only $3000 or less, and I think that the car alone is worth that much. Plus I'm hoping to get additional funds from the sale of the condo. The state of Michigan supplements the federal disability, but not by much. California has disability that's separate from the federal disability, but I'm not eligible because I didn't work last year.

So that's that I guess.

My mom's friend's brother also said that I was on a lot of medications, and he thought that I should stop all the meds and start over adding them one by one. Easy for him to say; I'm the one who'd suffer if I relapse.

The whole thing made me a little bit cranky. Apparently he thinks that I'm totally ignorant about my illness. And what he didn't say is what am I going to do for health insurance? That's my biggest concern. Well, that and the cost of my medications.
