I'm on the reconsideration level and we got the form for the activity report that my wife will fill out. Please pray that she will do a good job of being honest yet making a good case for me. And please pray for the rest of the process. Thank you.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Dear lemonflavor, is this your first reconsideraation????
I have been on disabioliity 10 yrs now. Tell your wife to avoid words like can't or won't, to talk about unable to instead or similiar words. Ability is the issue and our illness effects or ability to work not motivation. I personally talk about both my manic days and my depressed days in this light. So if you are reading between the lines, yes , I do coach my hubby. I was an RN and he (my hubby) automatically uses won't and can't type words, so I help him rephrase what he is trying to say.
So don't tell!!!

Lemonflavor,
Make sure if they deny you that when you reapply don't say that it is a new application. Tell them that you already tried in ,whatever date it was. That way there they will give you reto for all that time. I was never so happy that I did that because when I thought things were about to get ugly with bills, I got a huge check, I am still thanking the LORD for, to this day!
I do pray that you get accepted!
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!!

yeah, they have reconsidered mine every 2-3 years. i am nervous about my next one as I have improved, but as I sit here with my hands shaking after last nocs recent poor noc of sleep and barely able to control my emotions, I truly know it is not possible for me to work yet.lemonflavor said:
Have your wife pm or email me with her ideas of what to say and I would be happy to give my thoughts on phrasing if she would like.
It is really more threatening feeling than it actually is. And even if they said you are no longer qualified I think you can appeal. So relax as best you can , trust God, pray for the truth and words to speak the truth.
Has your doc given you his/her thoughts on your ability to work???

No, I've generally tried to avoid career conversation in the past because I feel so much shame about it. I will try to bring it up in my next app't but it's difficult for me. I know it's important for the disability claim.Alive again said:

I have a hard time with the same thing. The faces we put on. You would think that a pdoc would know that. He yelled at me about not wanting to get better, not knowing that I don't even take care of myself. My counselor called in the nick of time, and he said, you are still unable to work. I too am up for review soon and am very very worried about it. I know it's in God's hands, and I just have to trust God and try not to worry.
I pray about your application that you will get disability.
Amen

I'm reviewing the activity form with my wife and boy is that depressing. Let's focus on all the bad things about me. How fun. Plus it's warm today which is really depressing for me and I'm adjusting drugs, which never seems to end. Really having a hard time. Lately I've been depressed or mixed, haven't been hypomanic in a while, really would love that.

Keep your answers short and to the point. Don't ramble and volunteer information that hasn't been requested. If you're unhappy with how the interview is going, cut it short and reschedule.
Refer as many questions as possible back to your doctor.
He/she are the experts and should know what they're looking for. This is particularly important when the topic of getting back into the work force comes up.
"That will all depend on my doctor's advice!"
Keep copies of all your information including forms, applications, etc. Also make a list of the questions asked so you can be better prepared the next time.
